Remove Code Highlight

The following example can help you exclude code highlighting code from being included in the bundle. @uiw/react-textarea-code-editor/nohighlight component does not contain the rehype-prism-plus code highlighting package.

import React, { useState } from "react";
import CodeEditor from '@uiw/react-textarea-code-editor/nohighlight';

export default function App() {
  const [code, setCode] = useState(
    `function add(a, b) {\n  return a + b;\n}`
  );
  return (
    <CodeEditor
      value={code}
      language="js"
      placeholder="Please enter JS code."
      onChange={(evn) => setCode(evn.target.value)}
      padding={15}
      style={{
        backgroundColor: "#f5f5f5",
        fontFamily: 'ui-monospace,SFMono-Regular,SF Mono,Consolas,Liberation Mono,Menlo,monospace',
      }}
    />
  );
}

Show LineNumbers

import rehypePrism from 'rehype-prism-plus';
import React, { useState } from "react";
import CodeEditor from '@uiw/react-textarea-code-editor';

export default function App() {
  const [code, setCode] = useState(
    `function add(a, b) {\n  return a + b;\n}`
  );
  return (
    <CodeEditor
      value={code}
      language="js"
      placeholder="Please enter JS code."
      onChange={(evn) => setCode(evn.target.value)}
      rehypePlugins={[
        [rehypePrism, { ignoreMissing: true, showLineNumbers: true }]
      ]}
      style={{
        backgroundColor: "#f5f5f5",
        fontFamily: 'ui-monospace,SFMono-Regular,SF Mono,Consolas,Liberation Mono,Menlo,monospace',
      }}
    />
  );
}

Support Nextjs

Use examples in nextjs. #31

npm install next-remove-imports
npm install @uiw/react-textarea-code-editor@v1.4.4

// next.config.js
const removeImports = require("next-remove-imports")();
module.exports = removeImports({
  experimental: { esmExternals: true }
});

import React from "react";
import dynamic from "next/dynamic";
import "@uiw/react-textarea-code-editor/dist.css";

const CodeEditor = dynamic(
  () => import("@uiw/react-textarea-code-editor").then((mod) => mod.default),
  { ssr: false }
);

function HomePage() {
  const [code, setCode] = React.useState(
    `function add(a, b) {\n  return a + b;\n}`
  );
  return (
    <div>
      <CodeEditor
        value={code}
        language="js"
        placeholder="Please enter JS code."
        onChange={(evn) => setCode(evn.target.value)}
        padding={15}
        style={{
          fontSize: 12,
          backgroundColor: "#f5f5f5",
          fontFamily:
            "ui-monospace,SFMono-Regular,SF Mono,Consolas,Liberation Mono,Menlo,monospace"
        }}
      />
    </div>
  );
}

export default HomePage;

Support dark-mode/night-mode

By default, the dark-mode is automatically switched according to the system. If you need to switch manually, just set the data-color-mode="dark" parameter for html Element.

<html data-color-mode="dark">

document.documentElement.setAttribute('data-color-mode', 'dark')
document.documentElement.setAttribute('data-color-mode', 'light')

Inherit custom color variables by adding .w-tc-editor-var selector.

const Demo = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <div className="w-tc-editor-var"> </div>
      <CodeEditor value={code} />
    </div>
  )
}

Set (data-color-mode="dark") dark theme.

import CodeEditor from '@uiw/react-textarea-code-editor';

function App() {
  return (
    <CodeEditor
      value="function add(a, b) {\n  return a + b;\n}"
      data-color-mode="dark"
    />
  );
}
