What is ace-builds?

The ace-builds npm package is a standalone code editor written in JavaScript. It is designed to be embedded easily in web pages and provides a rich set of features for code editing, including syntax highlighting, code folding, and autocompletion.

What are ace-builds's main functionalities?

Syntax Highlighting

This feature allows you to set syntax highlighting for different programming languages. In this example, the editor is set to highlight JavaScript syntax.

Code Folding

Code folding allows users to collapse and expand sections of code, making it easier to navigate large files. This example sets the fold style to 'markbegin'.

const ace = require('ace-builds');
const editor = ace.edit('editor');

Autocompletion helps users write code faster by providing suggestions as they type. This example enables basic autocompletion, snippets, and live autocompletion.

const ace = require('ace-builds');
require('ace-builds/src-noconflict/ext-language_tools');
const editor = ace.edit('editor');
editor.setOptions({

});
