CodeMirror plugin to support comment continuations
npm install @valtown/codemirror-continueThis **continues block comments when you
hit Enter** in CodeMirror.
Like when you're typing and you're here:
``ts`
/**
When you hit enter, you want it to do this:
`ts`
/**
*
Right? Well, this CodeMirror extension does just that. It
also handles the case where you're on the last line of a
comment, like
`ts`
/**
* My comment
*
And you hit /, it'll _delete_ the previous space, giving you
`ts`
/**
* My comment
*/
Spectacular! Get it?
Import continueKeymap:
`ts`
import { continueKeymap } from "@valtown/codemirror-continue";
Import keymap and Prec:
`ts`
import { Prec } from "@codemirror/state";
import { keymap } from "@codemirror/view";
Add the keybinding to your CodeMirror instance's extensions array:
`ts`
extensions: [
basicSetup,
// … other setup
Prec.high(keymap.of(continueKeymap)),
],
And that's it! This will only do anything if your CodeMirror
is using a language that supports / /` style block comments,
like JavaScript and TypeScript.
