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.

Usage

Import HighlightModule library from any module:

import { HighlightModule } from 'ngx-highlightjs';

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

The function forRoot accepts 1 optional parameters, forRoot(options?: HighlightOptions)

With options parameter you can set:

  • theme: select the theme, use theme's name without the extension, default: 'github'
  • path: hljs library location, default: 'assets/lib/hljs'
  • auto: auto-highlight when code's text changes, default: true

Choose highlighting theme:

    HighlightModule.forRoot({ theme: 'monokai-sublime'});

   const options: HighlightOptions = {
     theme: 'monokai-sublime',

   };
