Example – integrating CodeMirror

CodeMirror is a code editor component that has many great features for editing, such as syntax highlighting, code folding, and more.

You can find the CodeMirror documentation at https://codemirror.net/.

At the time of writing, CodeMirror is currently at version 5.65.9.

After installing the codemirror library using the package manager of our choice, we can import codemirror into our code:

import CodeMirror from 'codemirror';
import 'codemirror/lib/codemirror.css';

Now, we can initialize CodeMirror with the following constructor function:

const myCodeMirror = CodeMirror(document.body);

Here, we pass in the element where we want the CodeMirror code editor to be.

Before I continue, at this point, note that we are looking for the same set of things from CodeMirror:

• Methods to initialize CodeMirror
• Any method needed to clean up a CodeMirror instance
• Any method to update a CodeMirror instance...
