The latter will offer more control and likely be more appropriate with [redux](http://redux.js.org/) heavy apps. ## uncontrolled usage ```jsx import {UnControlled as CodeMirror} from 'react-codemirror2' { }} /> ``` ## controlled usage ```jsx import {Controlled as CodeMirror} from 'react-codemirror2' { this.setState({value}); }} onChange={(editor, data, value) => { }} /> ``` ## requiring codemirror resources - [codemirror](https://www.npmjs.com/package/codemirror) `codemirror` comes as a [peer dependency](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/npm/peer-dependencies/), meaning you'll need to require it in your project _in addition to_ `react-codemirror2`. This prevents any versioning conflicts that would arise if `codemirror` came as a dependency through this wrapper. It's been observed that version mismatches can cause difficult to trace issues such as syntax highlighting disappearing without any explicit errors/warnings - additional Since codemirror ships mostly unconfigured, the user is left with the responsibility for requiring any additional resources should they be necessary. This is often the case when specifying certain [language modes]() and [themes](). How to import/require these assets will vary according to the specifics of your development environment. Below is a sample to include the assets necessary to specify a mode of `xml` (HTML) and a `material` theme. > note that the base codemirror.css file is required in all use cases ```css @import 'codemirror/lib/codemirror.css'; @import 'codemirror/theme/material.css'; ``` ```jsx import CodeMirror from 'react-codemirror2'; require('codemirror/mode/xml/xml'); require('codemirror/mode/javascript/javascript'); ``` ## props | prop | type *`default`* | components | description | |--------------|------------------------|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `autoCursor` | boolean *`true`* | `Controlled` `UnControlled` | should component cursor position correct when `value` changed | | | `autoScroll` | boolean *`true`* | `Controlled` `UnControlled` | should component scroll cursor position into view when `value` changed | | `className` | string | `Controlled` `UnControlled` | pass through class *`class="react-codemirror2 className"`* | | `defineMode` | object | `Controlled` `UnControlled` | pass a [custom mode](http://marijnhaverbeke.nl/blog/codemirror-mode-system.html) via `{name: 'custom', fn: myModeFn}` | | `detach` | boolean | `UnControlled` | should component ignore new props | | `options` | object | `Controlled` `UnControlled` | [codemirror configuration](https://codemirror.net/doc/manual.html#config) | | `value` | string | *`Controlled` `UnControlled` | * component value _**must be managed for controlled components**_ | ## props cont.

Yes. react-codemirror2 will prevent rendering in absence of `navigator`. You can also force the component to not render via a `PREVENT_CODEMIRROR_RENDER` global. - How can I get the instance? The recommended technique to get the instance is to persist the `editor` returned via event callbacks. There is no static method to get it on demand, e.g. `CodeMirror.getInstance()`. Example... ```jsx constructor() { this.instance = null; } render() { { this.instance = editor }}/> } ``` - How can I have a resizable editor? Check out [bokuweb/re-resizable](https://github.com/bokuweb/re-resizable). Wrapping your component with `'s` works well ## Contributing Pull Requests are welcome. Be mindful of the available scripts below to help submitting a well-received contribution. - `npm run start` to run the app on `localhost:8000` - `npm run test` to ensure tests continue to pass - `npm run build` to generate the demo bundle note that it's necessary to bump the [package.json](https://github.com/scniro/react-codemirror2/blob/master/package.json#L3) version prior to final `npm run build` so we can grab the proposed new version as seen in the demo header. Also note, the core changes are to be made in `src/index.tsx` as `./index.js` and `./index.d.ts` are _generated_ [MIT](./LICENSE) © 2020 [scniro](https://github.com/scniro)
