How to use Ace extensions? #64

Closed edemaine closed 8 years ago

edemaine commented 8 years ago

I'd like to use the ace/ext/spellcheck extension. It seems to be included in the package (it's in .meteor/local/build/programs/web.browser/packages/mizzao_sharejs-ace/ace-builds/src/ext-spellcheck.js). But I'm not sure how to trigger its use. The following CoffeeScript does not seem to work:

Meteor.startup ->
  ace.require 'ace/ext/spellcheck'

The way it's supposed to work is, in the config helper, write

editor.setOption 'spellcheck', true

But this results in the error misspelled option "spellcheck" from Ace.

Hi could you provide me with a small example app, such that I can try it out.

edemaine commented 8 years ago

Sure, here you go. Look for the misspelled option "spellcheck" in the JavaScript console.

test.coffee

if Meteor.isClient
  Meteor.startup ->
    ace.require 'ace/ext/spellcheck'

  Template.registerHelper 'config', -> (editor) ->
    editor.setOption 'spellcheck', true

test.html

<body>
{{> sharejsAce docid='test' onRender=config}}
</body>

test.css

.ace_editor { width: 100%; height: 20em; }

Packages: meteor add coffeescript mizzao:sharejs mizzao:sharejs-ace

I also did it not get to work. I also find very little documentation about this extensions. I wonder if this is actually what you want:

https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace/issues/2107

This only provides spell checking via the browser context menu. There is another example that seems to be more reasonable:

Yes, exactly, I was trying to get spellchecking via the browser context menu, as described in https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace/issues/2107 The code is here: https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace-builds/blob/master/src/ext-spellcheck.js The first line suggests that "ace/ext/spellcheck" is indeed the module's name... I'm trying to avoid included an entire dictionary in my project, which is what your latter link does.

@edemaine I found a way to include the script.

Add somewhere in your template the following code:

<script src="/packages/mizzao_sharejs-ace/ace-builds/src/ext-spellcheck.js"></script>

This loads the extension and I do not see the error of the misspelling. However I do not find any changes in the context menu.

I encountered a similar problem (wanted to use Ace's mode extenstions). At first, sourcing the script as @DavidSichau suggests worked for me, but then I ran meteor update, and I had to move sourcing it from the <head> to the <body>, and then his solution worked perfectly for me. Hope this helps!
