<h2>Simple Mode Demo</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <a href="../addon/mode/simple.js"><code>mode/simple</code></a>
|
|
addon allows CodeMirror modes to be specified using a relatively simple
|
|
declarative format. This format is not as powerful as writing code
|
|
directly against the <a href="../doc/manual.html#modeapi">mode
|
|
interface</a>, but is a lot easier to get started with, and
|
|
sufficiently expressive for many simple language modes.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This interface is still in flux. It is unlikely to be scrapped or
|
|
overhauled completely, so do start writing code against it, but
|
|
details might change as it stabilizes, and you might have to tweak
|
|
your code when upgrading.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Simple modes (loosely based on
|
|
the <a href="https://github.com/mozilla/skywriter/wiki/Common-JavaScript-Syntax-Highlighting-Specification">Common
|
|
JavaScript Syntax Highlighting Specification</a>, which never took
|
|
off), are state machines, where each state has a number of rules that
|
|
match tokens. A rule describes a type of token that may occur in the
|
|
current state, and possibly a transition to another state caused by
|
|
that token.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code>CodeMirror.defineSimpleMode(name, states)</code> method
|
|
takes a mode name and an object that describes the mode's states. The
|
|
editor below shows an example of such a mode (and is itself
|
|
highlighted by the mode shown in it).</p>
|
|
|
|
<div id="code"></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Each state is an array of rules. A rule may have the following properties:</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><code><strong>regex</strong>: string | RegExp</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>The regular expression that matches the token. May be a string
|
|
or a regex object. When a regex, the <code>ignoreCase</code> flag
|
|
will be taken into account when matching the token. This regex
|
|
should only capture groups when the <code>token</code> property is
|
|
an array.</dd>
|
|
<dt><code><strong>token</strong></code>: string | null</dt>
|
|
<dd>An optional token style. Multiple styles can be specified by
|
|
separating them with dots or spaces. When the <code>regex</code> for
|
|
this rule captures groups, it must capture <em>all</em> of the
|
|
string (since JS provides no way to find out where a group matched),
|
|
and this property must hold an array of token styles that has one
|
|
style for each matched group.</dd>
|
|
<dt><code><strong>sol</strong></code>: boolean</dt>
|
|
<dd>When true, this token will only match at the start of the line.
|
|
(The <code>^</code> regexp marker doesn't work as you'd expect in
|
|
this context because of limitations in JavaScript's RegExp
|
|
API.)</dd>
|
|
<dt><code><strong>next</strong>: string</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>When a <code>next</code> property is present, the mode will
|
|
transfer to the state named by the property when the token is
|
|
encountered.</dd>
|
|
<dt><code><strong>push</strong>: string</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Like <code>next</code>, but instead replacing the current state
|
|
by the new state, the current state is kept on a stack, and can be
|
|
returned to with the <code>pop</code> directive.</dd>
|
|
<dt><code><strong>pop</strong>: bool</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>When true, and there is another state on the state stack, will
|
|
cause the mode to pop that state off the stack and transition to
|
|
it.</dd>
|
|
<dt><code><strong>mode</strong>: {spec, end, persistent}</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Can be used to embed another mode inside a mode. When present,
|
|
must hold an object with a <code>spec</code> property that describes
|
|
the embedded mode, and an optional <code>end</code> end property
|
|
that specifies the regexp that will end the extent of the mode. When
|
|
a <code>persistent</code> property is set (and true), the nested
|
|
mode's state will be preserved between occurrences of the mode.</dd>
|
|
<dt><code><strong>indent</strong>: bool</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>When true, this token changes the indentation to be one unit
|
|
more than the current line's indentation.</dd>
|
|
<dt><code><strong>dedent</strong>: bool</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>When true, this token will pop one scope off the indentation
|
|
stack.</dd>
|
|
<dt><code><strong>dedentIfLineStart</strong>: bool</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>If a token has its <code>dedent</code> property set, it will, by
|
|
default, cause lines where it appears at the start to be dedented.
|
|
Set this property to false to prevent that behavior.</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code>meta</code> property of the states object is special, and
|
|
will not be interpreted as a state. Instead, properties set on it will
|
|
be set on the mode, which is useful for properties
|
|
like <a href="../doc/manual.html#addon_comment"><code>lineComment</code></a>,
|
|
which sets the comment style for a mode. The simple mode addon also
|
|
recognizes a few such properties:</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><code><strong>dontIndentStates</strong>: array<string></code></dt>
|
|
<dd>An array of states in which the mode's auto-indentation should
|
|
not take effect. Usually used for multi-line comment and string
|
|
states.</dd>
|
|
</dl>
