Angular Highlight.js

Package Exports

  • ngx-highlightjs

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (ngx-highlightjs) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Angular Highlight.js

Super easy to use, auto highlight code and auto-detect language


npm npm Build Status npm

Installation

  1. Install it with npm
$ npm install --save ngx-highlightjs
  1. Head to highlight.js download page and get your custom package bundle including only the languages you need.

  2. Create new folder in src/assets/lib/hljs and extract the downloaded zip file there.

SystemJS

If you are using SystemJS, you should also adjust your configuration to point to the UMD bundle.

In your systemjs config file, map needs to tell the System loader where to look for ngx-highlightjs:

map: {
  'ngx-highlightjs': 'node_modules/ngx-highlightjs/bundles/ngx-highlightjs.umd.js',
}

Import HighlightUmdModule, you will need to import highlight.js script and style manually, Here is a working plunker.


Usage

Import HighlightModule library from any module:

import { HighlightModule } from 'ngx-highlightjs';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    // ...
    HighlightModule.forRoot()
  ]
})
export class AppModule { }

default theme is github, but you can choose any theme by HighlightModule.forRoot('theme-name') with the .css in the end List of all available themes from highlight.js

forRoot(theme?, path?) function has two optional parameters:

  • theme: theme name without the extension, default: 'github'
  • path: package directory path, default: 'assets/lib/hljs'

Choose highlighting theme:

    HighlightModule.forRoot('monokai-sublime');

Import from custom path

   HighlightModule.forRoot('monokai-sublime', 'assets/js/highlight-js');

Now you can use the directive highlight, you can:

  • Highlight a code element
<!-- Highlight target element -->
<pre><code highlight [textContent]="someCode"></code></pre>
  • Highlight all child code elements
<!-- Highlight child elements of type <pre><code> -->
<div highlight="all">
  <pre><code [textContent]="htmlCode"></code></pre>
  <pre><code [textContent]="tsCode"></code></pre>
  <pre><code [textContent]="cssCode"></code></pre>
</div>
  • Highlight custom elements
<!-- Highlight custom child elements -->
<div highlight="section code">
  <section><code [textContent]="pythonCode"></code></section>
  <section><code [textContent]="swiftCode"></code></section>
</div>
