## Background

Initially, this started as a small project looking to modify [Atlaskit's]() Code Block component to support more languages (i.e `graphql`, `reasonml`, etc). It then rapidly evolved into a **never-ending rabbithole** which ended up with support for themes (i.e railscast, darcula, monokai, etc), customizable styles, and copy functionality too!

I don't plan on keeping this updated unless people are looking to actually use it. So don't be shy! Feel free to post an [issue](https://help.github.com/en/github/managing-your-work-on-github/creating-an-issue) or a [pr](https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request).

## Components

### CodeBlock

A simple code block component

```js
import { CodeBlock, dracula } from 'react-code-blocks';

function MyCoolCodeBlock({ code, language, showLineNumbers }) {
  return (
    <CodeBlock
      text={code}
      language={language}
      showLineNumbers={showLineNumbers}
      theme={dracula}
    />
  );
}
```

#### Props

> Note that `CodeBlock` & `CopyBlock` share exactly the same props

| name              | type      | default      | description                                                                                                                                                    |
| ----------------- | --------- | ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| `language`        | `string`  | "text"       | The language in which the code is written. [See here](LANGUAGES.md) for a list of supported languages                                                          |
| `showLineNumbers` | `boolean` | `true`       | Indicates whether or not to show line numbers                                                                                                                  |
| `theme`           | `object`  | **dracula**  | A theme object for the code block. [See here](THEMES.md) for a list of supported themes                                                                        |  |

> **more to come...**

### CopyBlock

A code block component with a little copy button for copying a snippet.

```jsx
import { CopyBlock, dracula } from 'react-code-blocks';

function MyCoolCodeBlock({ code, language, showLineNumbers }) {
  <CopyBlock
    text={code}
    language={language}
    showLineNumbers={showLineNumbers}
    theme={dracula}
    codeBlock
  />;
}
```

#### Props

Same as the `CodeBlock`'s component with the exception of one!

| name        | type       | default | description                                                                                                                       |
| ----------- | ---------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `codeBlock` | `boolean`  | `false` | Indicates whether to render the `CopyBlock` as an inline `Code` component or a `CodeBlock` component                              |
| `onCopy`    | `function` | -       | The onCopy function is called if the copy icon is clicked. This enables you to add a custom message that the code block is copied |

## Alternatives

If you're looking for some more maintained solutions, I'd suggest the following:

- [`react-syntax-highlighter`](https://github.com/conorhastings/react-syntax-highlighter): syntax highlighting component for react with `prismjs` or `highlightjs` `ast` using inline styles by @conorhastings.
  - It's actually used in this project as well! :smile:
- [`react-highlight.js`](https://github.com/bvaughn/react-highlight.js): A lightweight React wrapper around the `Highlight.js` syntax highlighting library by @bvaughn.
- [`react-live`](https://github.com/FormidableLabs/react-live): A flexible playground for live editing React components by @FormidableLabs.
- [`@atlaskit/code`](https://atlaskit.atlassian.com/docs/getting-started): Renders inline code snippets and code blocks
  - Original inspiration for this project kit for this project
- [`carbon-components-react`](http://react.carbondesignsystem.com/?path=/story/codesnippet--inline): Check out their `<CodeSnippet>` component which supports multi-line, single-line, and inline snippets along with added copying functionality.

> Feel free to add any other alternative packages here! :smile:
