Help me Contribute to Light Table

[Erik Griffin]

Hello everyone.  

I have been following Light Table from the beginning, and have finally taken up programming to actually use it.

I am very new to all of this, but I believe in making the tools that are useful to yourself.  Currently I am working with deploying ruby code via sinatra to the web.  Thus I am working with .erb files that Light Table does not inherently recognize.  I know I can change the syntax editor to HTML and will get some styling, but it does not handle the <% %> tags well and as a result shows errors in the HTML where there are none.

Also the indenting is quite annoying, I would like to set that as well.

Unfortunately I have no idea where to even begin creating something that would help lighttable deal with the .erb extension, can someone nudge me in the right direction?

PS: Was so happy to see an update form Chris posted very recently.

I suspect a fair bit of that is CodeMirror itself — the open source editor embedded in LightTable. Looks like a known issue that was fixed in CM’s master just recently?

Does that mean that it will simply be fixed in the next build of LightTable?

Once the CM fix is released, LT would be able to accept a Pull Request to update to the latest CM…

In the meantime, is it possible to adjust the HTML syntax editor to indent only 2 spaces? Or is that completely tied to Code Mirror

That’s configurable in user.behaviors. You can change it per editor. You’ll need to bind an editor type to the file extension if it isn’t already bound. Here’s what I have:

[:editor.html :lt.objs.editor/wrap]
[:editor.html :lt.objs.editor/tab-settings false 4 4]

[:editor.javascript :lt.objs.editor/wrap]
[:editor.javascript :lt.objs.editor/tab-settings false 4 4]

[:editor.styl :lt.objs.editor/tab-settings true 4 4]

[:files :lt.objs.files/file-types [{:exts [:cfm], :mime "htmlmixed", :tags [:editor.html], :name "coldfusion"}
{:exts [:cfc], :mime "text/javascript", :tags [:editor.javascript], :name "component"}
{:exts [:cljx], :mime "text/x-clojure", :tags [:editor.clj :editor.clojure], :name "clojurex"}
{:exts [:fr], :mime "text/x-haskell", :tags [:editor.haskell], :name "frege"}
{:exts [:gwn], :mime "text/x-clojure", :tags [:editor.clj :editor.clojure], :name "gershwin"}
{:exts [:elm], :mime "text/x-haskell", :tags [:editor.haskell], :name "elm"}]]

Awesome thanks! I'll have a look today
