Implement nicer code editor #22

braddoeswebdev commented 1 month ago

When working on hooks / reports / pages, it would be lovely to have something a little higher quality to work in than the standard textarea control.

I found a couple of embedded code editors that we could try yesterday:

CodeJar is more minimal and looks better, but AceJs has a lot more features. I haven't tested any of these out yet so I don't know how any of the specifics work.

I tried both of these out, couldn't get Ace to work at all & Codejar did better but still had some issues - like the auto-closing pairs made your cursor disappear. Also looked in to using Monaco, which is the editor component from VS Code, but it is really not mobile-friendly at all.

More research needed!

CodeMirror is another possibility.
