@uiw/react-codemirror

What is @uiw/react-codemirror?

@uiw/react-codemirror is a React component for CodeMirror, a versatile text editor implemented in JavaScript for the browser. It provides a flexible and customizable code editor with support for various programming languages, themes, and extensions.

What are @uiw/react-codemirror's main functionalities?

Basic Usage

This code demonstrates the basic usage of @uiw/react-codemirror. It imports the necessary modules and sets up a simple CodeMirror editor with JavaScript syntax highlighting.

import React from 'react';
import CodeMirror from '@uiw/react-codemirror';
import { javascript } from '@codemirror/lang-javascript';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <CodeMirror
      value="console.log('Hello, world!');"
      height="200px"
      extensions={[javascript()]}
    />
  );
};

export default App;

Theming

This example shows how to apply a theme to the CodeMirror editor. The 'oneDark' theme is imported and added to the extensions array.

import React from 'react';
import CodeMirror from '@uiw/react-codemirror';
import { javascript } from '@codemirror/lang-javascript';
import { oneDark } from '@codemirror/theme-one-dark';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <CodeMirror
      value="console.log('Hello, world!');"
      height="200px"
      extensions={[javascript(), oneDark]}
    />
  );
};

export default App;

Handling Events

This code demonstrates how to handle change events in the CodeMirror editor. The 'handleChange' function logs the new value to the console whenever the content changes.

import React from 'react';
import CodeMirror from '@uiw/react-codemirror';
import { javascript } from '@codemirror/lang-javascript';

const App = () => {
  const handleChange = (value, viewUpdate) => {
    console.log('Value changed:', value);
  };

  return (
    <CodeMirror
      value="console.log('Hello, world!');"
      height="200px"
      extensions={[javascript()]}
      onChange={handleChange}
    />
  );
};

export default App;

react-codemirror2

react-codemirror2 is another React wrapper for CodeMirror. It provides similar functionality to @uiw/react-codemirror but with a different API. It supports various CodeMirror features and is widely used in the React community.

react-ace

react-ace is a React component for the Ace editor. While it serves a similar purpose to @uiw/react-codemirror, it uses the Ace editor instead of CodeMirror. It offers a wide range of features and is known for its performance and flexibility.

react-monaco-editor

react-monaco-editor is a React component for the Monaco editor, which powers Visual Studio Code. It provides a highly customizable and feature-rich code editor experience, making it a strong alternative to @uiw/react-codemirror for more advanced use cases.

Usage

import CodeMirror from '@uiw/react-codemirror';
import 'codemirror/keymap/sublime';
import 'codemirror/theme/monokai.css';

const code = 'const a = 0;';

<CodeMirror
  value={code}
  options={{
    theme: 'monokai',
    keyMap: 'sublime',
    mode: 'jsx',
  }}
/>

requiring codemirror resources, This is often the case when specifying certain language modes and themes. Just set the mode, the language resources will automatically lazy loading.

import CodeMirror from '@uiw/react-codemirror';
import 'codemirror/addon/display/autorefresh';
import 'codemirror/addon/comment/comment';
import 'codemirror/addon/edit/matchbrackets';
import 'codemirror/keymap/sublime';
import 'codemirror/theme/monokai.css';

const code = 'const a = 0;';

<CodeMirror
  value={code}
  options={{
    theme: 'monokai',
    tabSize: 2,
    keyMap: 'sublime',
    mode: 'jsx',
  }}
/>

If provided, this function will be called on every keydown, keyup, and keypress event that CodeMirror captures.
It will be passed two arguments, the editor instance and the key event.
This key event is pretty much the raw key event, except that a stop() method is always added to it.
You could feed it to, for example, jQuery.Event to further normalize it.
This function can inspect the key event, and handle it if it wants to.
It may return true to tell CodeMirror to ignore the event.
Be wary that, on some browsers, stopping a keydown does not stop the keypress from firing, whereas on others it does.
If you respond to an event, you should probably inspect its type property and only do something when it is keydown
(or keypress for actions that need character data). */

The defaults are 200 and 300, you can change these options to make the highlighting more or less aggressive. */
workTime?: number;

/** See workTime. */
workDelay?: number;

/** Indicates how quickly CodeMirror should poll its input textarea for changes(when focused).
Most input is captured by events, but some things, like IME input on some browsers, don't generate events that allow CodeMirror to properly detect it.
Thus, it polls. Default is 100 milliseconds. */
pollInterval?: number

/** By default, CodeMirror will combine adjacent tokens into a single span if they have the same class.
This will result in a simpler DOM tree, and thus perform better. With some kinds of styling(such as rounded corners),
this will change the way the document looks. You can set this option to false to disable this behavior. */
flattenSpans?: boolean;

/** When highlighting long lines, in order to stay responsive, the editor will give up and simply style
the rest of the line as plain text when it reaches a certain position. The default is 10000.
You can set this to Infinity to turn off this behavior. */
maxHighlightLength?: number;

/** Specifies the amount of lines that are rendered above and below the part of the document that's currently scrolled into view.
This affects the amount of updates needed when scrolling, and the amount of work that such an update does.
You should usually leave it at its default, 10. Can be set to Infinity to make sure the whole document is always rendered,
and thus the browser's text search works on it. This will have bad effects on performance of big documents. */
