## Features

* Lightweight (**2 kB** only)
* Preserves indentation on a new line
* Adds closing brackets, quotes
* Indents line with the **Tab** key
* Supports **undo**/**redo** 

## Getting Started

Install CodeJar 🍯 &nbsp; via npm:

```bash
npm i codejar
```

CodeJar 🍯 &nbsp; can be used via modules:

```html
<script type="module">
  import {CodeJar} from 'https://medv.io/codejar/codejar.js'
</script>
```

Create an element and init the CodeJar 🍯:

```html
<div class="editor"></div>
<script>
  let jar = CodeJar(document.querySelector('.editor'), hljs.highlightElement)
</script>
```

Second argument to `CodeJar` is a highlighting function (in this example [highlight.js](https://highlightjs.org)), but any function may be used:

```ts
const highlight = (editor: HTMLElement) => {
  const code = editor.textContent
  // Do something with code and set html.
  editor.innerHTML = code
}

let jar = CodeJar(editor, highlight)
```

Third argument to `CodeJar` is options:
  - `tab: string` replaces "tabs" with given string. Default: `\t`.
    - Note: use css rule `tab-size` to customize size.
  - `indentOn: RegExp` allows auto indent rule to be customized. Default `/[({\[]$/`.
  - `moveToNewLine: RegExp` checks in extra newline character need to be added. Default `/^[)}\]]/`.
  - `spellcheck: boolean` enables spellchecking on the editor. Default `false`.
  - `catchTab: boolean` catches Tab keypress events and replaces it with `tab` string. Default: `true`.
  - `preserveIdent: boolean` keeps indent levels on new line. Default `true`.
  - `addClosing: boolean` automatically adds closing brackets, quotes. Default `true`.
  - `history` records history. Default `true`.
  - `window` window object. Default: `window`.


```js
let options = {
  tab: ' '.repeat(4), // default is '\t'
  indentOn: /[(\[]$/, // default is /{$/
}

let jar = CodeJar(editor, highlight, options)
```

Some styles may be applied to our editor to make it better looking:

```css
.editor {
    border-radius: 6px;
    box-shadow: 0 2px 2px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.14), 0 1px 5px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.12), 0 3px 1px -2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
    font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;
    font-size: 14px;
    font-weight: 400;
    height: 340px;
    letter-spacing: normal;
    line-height: 20px;
    padding: 10px;
    tab-size: 4;
}
```
