Qt Code Editor Widget

It's a widget for editing/viewing code.

This project uses a resource named qcodeeditor_resources.qrc. The main application must not use a resource file with the same name.

(It's not a project from a Qt example.)

Requirements

0. C++11 featured compiler.
1. Qt 5.

Abilities

1. Auto parentheses.
2. Different highlight rules.
3. Auto indentation.
4. Replace tabs with spaces.
5. GLSL completion rules.
6. GLSL highlight rules.
7. C++ highlight rules.
8. XML highlight rules.
9. JSON highligh rules.
10. Java highligh rules.
11. JavaScript highligh rules.
12. Frame selection.
13. Qt Creator styles.

Build

It's a CMake-based library, so it can be used as a submodule (see the example). But here are the steps to build it as a static library (for external use for example).

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/Megaxela/QCodeEditor
2. Go into the repository: cd QCodeEditor
3. Create a build folder: mkdir build
4. Go into the build folder: cd build
5. Generate a build file for your compiler: cmake ..
   1. If you need to build the example, specify -DBUILD_EXAMPLE=On on this step.
6. Build the library: cmake --build .

Example

By default, QCodeEditor uses the standard QtCreator theme. But you may specify your own by parsing it with QSyntaxStyle. The example uses Dracula theme. (See the example for more.)
