React Ace Wrapper

A react wrapper component for Ace / Brace code editor.

This is an enhanced fork of react-ace package. Main difference is that this package publishes ES5 code that can be required without any pre-processing. This package works equally fine with both Browserify and Webpack.

Install

npm install react-ace-wrapper

Usage

var React = require('react');
var AceEditor  = require('react-ace-wrapper');

require('brace/mode/java');
require('brace/theme/github');

function onChange(newValue) {
  console.log('change',newValue)
}

// render a first
React.render(
  <AceEditor
    mode="java"
    theme="github"
    onChange={onChange}
    name="UNIQUE_ID_OF_DIV"
  />,
  document.getElementById('example')
);

Modes and Themes

All modes and themes should be required through brace directly. Browserify will grab these modes / themes through brace and will be available at run time. See the example above. This prevents bloating the compiled javascript with extra modes and themes for your application.
