What are @uiw/codemirror-extensions-basic-setup's main functionalities?

Basic Setup

This code demonstrates how to set up a basic CodeMirror editor with the `basicSetup` extension. It initializes the editor state with a document and applies the basic setup extensions, then creates an editor view and attaches it to the DOM.

import { basicSetup } from '@uiw/codemirror-extensions-basic-setup';
import { EditorState } from '@codemirror/state';
import { EditorView } from '@codemirror/view';

const state = EditorState.create({
  doc: 'Hello, CodeMirror!',
  extensions: [basicSetup]
});

const view = new EditorView({
  state,
  parent: document.body
});

Syntax Highlighting

This code sample shows how to add JavaScript syntax highlighting to the CodeMirror editor using the `basicSetup` extension along with the `@codemirror/lang-javascript` package.

import { basicSetup } from '@uiw/codemirror-extensions-basic-setup';
import { EditorState } from '@codemirror/state';
import { EditorView } from '@codemirror/view';
import { javascript } from '@codemirror/lang-javascript';

const state = EditorState.create({
  doc: 'const x = 10;',
  extensions: [basicSetup, javascript()]
});

const view = new EditorView({
  state,
  parent: document.body
});

Line Numbers

This example demonstrates how to enable line numbers in the CodeMirror editor using the `basicSetup` extension along with the `lineNumbers` extension from `@codemirror/view`.

import { basicSetup } from '@uiw/codemirror-extensions-basic-setup';
import { EditorState } from '@codemirror/state';
import { EditorView } from '@codemirror/view';
import { lineNumbers } from '@codemirror/view';

const state = EditorState.create({
  doc: 'Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3',
  extensions: [basicSetup, lineNumbers()]
});

const view = new EditorView({
  state,
  parent: document.body
});

/**
This is an extension value that just pulls together a number of
extensions that you might want in a basic editor. It is meant as a
convenient helper to quickly set up CodeMirror without installing
and importing a lot of separate packages.

Specifically, it includes...

- [the default command bindings](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#commands.defaultKeymap)
- [line numbers](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#view.lineNumbers)
- [special character highlighting](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#view.highlightSpecialChars)
- [the undo history](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#commands.history)
- [a fold gutter](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#language.foldGutter)
- [custom selection drawing](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#view.drawSelection)
- [drop cursor](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#view.dropCursor)
- [multiple selections](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#state.EditorState^allowMultipleSelections)
- [reindentation on input](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#language.indentOnInput)
- [the default highlight style](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#language.defaultHighlightStyle) (as fallback)
- [bracket matching](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#language.bracketMatching)
- [bracket closing](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#autocomplete.closeBrackets)
- [autocompletion](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#autocomplete.autocompletion)
- [rectangular selection](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#view.rectangularSelection) and [crosshair cursor](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#view.crosshairCursor)
- [active line highlighting](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#view.highlightActiveLine)
- [active line gutter highlighting](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#view.highlightActiveLineGutter)
- [selection match highlighting](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#search.highlightSelectionMatches)
- [search](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#search.searchKeymap)
- [linting](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#lint.lintKeymap)

(You'll probably want to add some language package to your setup
too.)

This extension does not allow customization. The idea is that,
once you decide you want to configure your editor more precisely,
you take this package's source (which is just a bunch of imports
and an array literal), copy it into your own code, and adjust it
as desired.
