Detailed Description

Integrated text editor component.

Since
org.mauikit.texteditor 1.0

A text area for editing text with convinient functions. The Editor is controlled by the DocumentHandler which controls the files I/O, the syntax highlighting styles, and many more text editing properties.

Features

The TextEditor control comes with a set of built-in features, such as find & replace, syntax highlighting support, line number sidebar, I/O capabilities, file document alerts, and syntax corrector.

I/O

Opening a local text file is handle by the DocumentHandler via the fileUrl property. The document contents will be loaded by the FileLoader and made available to the TextEditor for drawing.

See also
DocumentHandler::fileUrl
Warning
Opening large contents will cause the app to freeze, since it is not optimized to dynamically allocate the contents by chunks and instead all of the content will be rendered at once. A solution with a different backend is being implemented.

Once an existing document is opened or created, it will also be watched for any external changes, such as modifications to its contents or its removal, those changes will be notified via the alert bars, exposing the avaliable options.

See also
DocumentHandler::autoReload

To save any changes made to an existing document or to save a new one manually use the exposed method DocumentHandler::saveAs, which will take as parameter the location where to save the file at, if you mean to save the changes to an already existing file, simply pass the DocumentHandler::fileUrl value. The changes made could be automatically saved every few seconds if the DocumentHandler::autoSave property is enabled.

Syntax Highlighting

To enable the syntax highlighting enable the DocumentHandler::enableSyntaxHighlighting property.

Note
If the language is not detected automatically or if you desire to change it, use the showSyntaxHighlightingLanguages property to toggle the selection combobox to allow the user to select a custom language, and bind it to the DocumentHandler::formatName property.

There are different color schemes available, those can be set using the DocumentHandler::theme property. You can also use the ColorSchemesPage control which lists all the available options.

Others

The find & replace bars can be toggled using the showFindBar property.

See also
DocumentHandler::findWholeWords
DocumentHandler::findCaseSensitively

To enable the line number sidebar use the showLineNumbers property.

Spell checking can be anbled using the spellcheckEnabled property. For this Sonnet must be available.

Fonts & Colors

For tweaking the font properties and colors use the DocumentHandler::textColor and DocumentHandler::backgroundColor, etc.

For more details and properties check the own DocumentHandler properties.
