CodeEditor

The CodeEditor provides a text input field that is specifically designed for editing code. It further offers properties to configure e.g. syntax highlighting, spell checks or line wrapping. Once the editor is focused via the keyboard, the user must press "Enter" to start editing and "Escape" to quit editing and return to the keyboard navigation flow.

Import

import { CodeEditor } from '@dynatrace/strato-components-preview/editors';

Use cases

CodeSandbox

Set a language

To enable syntax highlighting, specify the desired language with the language property.

CodeSandbox

Disable editing

To disable editing of the content, use the readOnly property.

CodeSandbox

Enable line wrap

To enable line wrap as soon as the content overflows, use the lineWrap property.

CodeSandbox

Expand editor to full height

To expand the CodeEditor to the full available height of its parent, use the fullHeight property. If you want the CodeEditor to respect the min-height and max-height of the parent, use a flex container.

CodeSandbox

Default folding in editor

To provide default folding at specific character positions in the CodeEditor, use the defaultFolding property that accepts an array of positions.

Change the size

The CodeEditor component offers a size prop with default and condensed options. The condensed option enables a more compact code display by optimizing space, while the prop defaults to default for a regular view.
