Copenhagen is a free, lightweight and hackable open source code editor for the web. It's responsible for powering the code-editing experience on Autocode, and it's written entirely in vanilla JavaScript with only highlight.js and feather icons bundled as dependencies.
Documentation is available at copenhagen.autocode.com. You can also play around with your own installation right away by forking this repository in Autocode:
To get started with Copenhagen, add copenhagen.0-1-4.min.css
and copenhagen.0-1-4.min.js to your web project.
You can find them in this repository.
Then import them to your webpage by adding the following lines in the
<head> tag of your webpage:
<!-- Copenhagen Editor -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./compiled/copenhagen.0-1-4.min.css">
<script src="./compiled/copenhagen.0-1-4.min.js"></script>You can then instantiate a new Editor adding the following JavaScript
within a <script> tag:
// Use DOMContentLoaded or whatever instantiation code you'd like,
// just make sure the page is ready...
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
// instantiated CPHEditor instance with config
var editor = new Copenhagen.Editor({language: 'javascript'});
// open, but do not auto-focus the editor
editor.open(this.selector('.some-selector'), false);
// set a value
editor.setValue('var message = `hello world`;');
});Alternatively, you can automatically convert all elements matching a
specific selector. This will automatically pass in config values
via data-* attributes on the HTML tag.
<div class="editor" data-language="html" data-maxrows="20">
// some code
</div>window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
var editors = Copenhagen.initSelectorAll('.editor');
});Documentation is available at copenhagen.autocode.com/docs.html.
Hacking the editor and making updates is simple. We recommend you install the Autocode command line tools to get started.
Autocode CLI, stdlib/lib on Github
Once installed, you can run your own local instance of the Autocode HTTP gateway using;
$ lib http
And then visit http://localhost:3434/dev/raw/ or http://localhost:3434/dev/min/
to play with the raw or minified compiled version of the editor. You can change
the editor code via the src/ directory in this repository.
You can only compile the editor when running locally, this is not available via the Autocode web interface because live web services run a read-only filesystem.
To compile changes to a single script / css file, simply run:
$ lib .compile --filename script.js --min t --write t
$ lib .compile --filename style.css --min t --write t
You can remove the --min t flag if you want to compile the non-minified versions.
