# @codemirror/lang-javascript [](https://www.npmjs.org/package/@codemirror/lang-javascript) [ [**WEBSITE**](https://codemirror.net/) | [**ISSUES**](https://github.com/codemirror/dev/issues) | [**FORUM**](https://discuss.codemirror.net/c/next/) | [**CHANGELOG**](https://github.com/codemirror/lang-javascript/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) ] This package implements JavaScript language support for the [CodeMirror](https://codemirror.net/) code editor. The [project page](https://codemirror.net/) has more information, a number of [examples](https://codemirror.net/examples/) and the [documentation](https://codemirror.net/docs/). This code is released under an [MIT license](https://github.com/codemirror/lang-javascript/tree/main/LICENSE). We aim to be an inclusive, welcoming community. To make that explicit, we have a [code of conduct](http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/1/0/) that applies to communication around the project. ## Usage ```javascript import {EditorView, basicSetup} from "codemirror" import {javascript} from "@codemirror/lang-javascript" const view = new EditorView({ parent: document.body, doc: `console.log("Hello world")`, extensions: [basicSetup, javascript()] }) ``` ## API Reference
javascript(config?: {jsx?: boolean, typescript?: boolean} = {}) → LanguageSupportJavaScript support. Includes snippet and local variable completion.
javascriptLanguage: LRLanguageA language provider based on the Lezer JavaScript parser, extended with highlighting and indentation information.
typescriptLanguage: LRLanguageA language provider for TypeScript.
jsxLanguage: LRLanguageLanguage provider for JSX.
tsxLanguage: LRLanguageLanguage provider for JSX + TypeScript.
Extension that will automatically insert JSX close tags when a > or
/ is typed.
snippets: readonly Completion[]A collection of JavaScript-related snippets.
typescriptSnippets: Completion[]A collection of snippet completions for TypeScript. Includes the JavaScript snippets.
localCompletionSource(context: CompletionContext) → CompletionResult | nullCompletion source that looks up locally defined names in JavaScript code.
completionPath(context: CompletionContext) → {path: readonly string[], name: string} | nullHelper function for defining JavaScript completion sources. It
returns the completable name and object path for a completion
context, or null if no name/property completion should happen at
that position. For example, when completing after a.b.c it will
return {path: ["a", "b"], name: "c"}. When completing after x
it will return {path: [], name: "x"}. When not in a property or
name, it will return null if context.explicit is false, and
{path: [], name: ""} otherwise.
scopeCompletionSource(scope: any) → CompletionSourceDefines a completion source that
completes from the given scope object (for example globalThis).
Will enter properties of the object when completing properties on
a directly-named path.
esLint(eslint: any, config?: any) → fn(view: EditorView) → Diagnostic[]Connects an ESLint linter to CodeMirror's
lint integration. eslint should be an instance of the
Linter
class, and config an optional ESLint configuration. The return
value of this function can be passed to linter
to create a JavaScript linting extension.
Note that ESLint targets node, and is tricky to run in the browser. The eslint-linter-browserify package may help with that (see example).
