Demo

A tiny (~3 kB) editor with no dependencies. Instead of a hidden <textarea> over highlighted code, CodeJar makes the highlighted element itself contenteditable, so you type directly into it. Bring your own highlighter.

npm i codejar

import { CodeJar } from 'codejar'
import Prism from 'prismjs'

const jar = CodeJar(document.querySelector('.editor'), (editor) => {
  editor.innerHTML = Prism.highlight(
    editor.textContent,
    Prism.languages.js,
    'js',
  )
})

Passed as the third argument:

• tab — string inserted on Tab. Default '\t'.
• indentOn — indent the new line if the text before the caret matches. Default /[({[]$/.
• moveToNewLine — move the text after the caret to its own line if it matches. Default /^[)}\]]/.
• spellcheck — default false.
• catchTab — handle Tab and Shift+Tab. Default true.
• preserveIdent — keep indentation on a new line. Default true.
• addClosing — auto-close brackets and quotes. Default true.
• autoclose — { open, close } pairs to auto-close. Default { open: `([{'"`, close: `)]}'"` }.
• history — undo/redo. Default true.
• window — window to use, e.g. for iframes.

• updateCode(code, callOnUpdate = true) — set the code.
• updateOptions(options) — change options.
• onUpdate(callback) — called with the code on every change.
• toString() — get the code.
• save() / restore(pos) — save and restore the caret or selection.
• recordHistory() — push the current state onto the undo stack.
• destroy() — remove event listeners.
