AutoStyleExtension for Medium Editor

Version 2.0.0 is not backwards compatible.

AutoStyleExtension for Medium Editor allows auto-styling of words. The auto-styling is defined by a configuration object, which gets passed to the constructur.

In detail:

1. Words and the CSS style to be applied to these words.
2. Words and the CSS class to be applied to these words.
3. Whether case matching is to be performed.
4. Whether words only are matched, or substrings, too.

Try out the live example.

Configuration at Runtime

Additional methods allow manipulation of sections during runtime

getConfig: function() {
  ...
},
setConfig: function(config) {
 ...
},
removeConfigSection: function(sectionName) {
  ...
},
setConfigSection: function(sectionName, sectionObject) {
  ...
},

// Applies all config styles to the text.
// Useful for triggering via external code.
applyStyles: function() {
  ...
}

Configuration at Runtime: Example

Changing the configuration does not cause re-evaluation of the content implicitly. Call the function applyStyles() manually to re-evaluate the style of the content.

var extension = editor.getExtensionByName('auto-style');

extension.setConfigSection('your-section-name', {
    matchcase: false,
    wordsonly: true,
    //class: 'a-class',
    style: 'color:red;',
    words: ['some','red','words']
});

extension.applyStyles();
