Codemirror widget for Yii2 framework
====================================

[](#codemirror-widget-for-yii2-framework)

Description
-----------

[](#description)

CodeMirror is a versatile text editor implemented in JavaScript for the browser. It is specialized for editing code, and comes with a number of language modes and addons that implement more advanced editing functionality. For more information please visit [CodeMirror](http://codemirror.net/)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The preferred way to install this extension is through [composer](http://getcomposer.org/download/).

To install, either run

```
$ php composer.phar require conquer/codemirror "*"

```

or add

```
"conquer/codemirror": "*"

```

to the `require` section of your `composer.json` file.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use conquer\codemirror\CodemirrorWidget;

$form->field($model, 'code')->widget(
    CodemirrorWidget::className(),
    [
        'preset'=>'php',
        'options'=>['rows' => 20],
    ]
);
```

You can use ready-made presets, or create your own. To do this, specify the folder to your presets.

```
use conquer\codemirror\CodemirrorWidget;

$form->field($model, 'code')->widget(
    CodemirrorWidget::className(),
    [
        'presetsDir'=>'/path_to_your_presets',
        'preset'=>'sql',
    ]
);
```

In general, you can customize the widget directly specifying its properties.

```
use conquer\codemirror\CodemirrorWidget;
use conquer\codemirror\CodemirrorAsset;

$form->field($model, 'code')->widget(
    CodemirrorWidget::className(),
    [
        'assets'=>[
            CodemirrorAsset::MODE_CLIKE,
            CodemirrorAsset::KEYMAP_EMACS,
            CodemirrorAsset::ADDON_EDIT_MATCHBRACKETS,
            CodemirrorAsset::ADDON_COMMENT,
            CodemirrorAsset::ADDON_DIALOG,
            CodemirrorAsset::ADDON_SEARCHCURSOR,
            CodemirrorAsset::ADDON_SEARCH,
        ],
        'settings'=>[
            'lineNumbers' => true,
            'mode' => 'text/x-csrc',
            'keyMap' => 'emacs'
        ],
    ]
);
```

##### JavaScript

[](#javascript)

For access the instance of CodeMirror from JavaScript, you can use CodeMirror.instances\[\] . Example:

```
    var instanceName = document.getElementById('textarea-id').dataset.codeMirror;

    var cm = CodeMirror.instances[instanceName];

    var code = cm.getValue();   // Get the current editor content
    /*
        cm.save();              // Copy the content of the editor into the textarea
        cm.toTextArea();        // Remove the editor, and restore the original textarea
    */
```
