Qt Code Editor widget.

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++17 featured compiler.
1. Qt 5.

Abilities

1. Highlight matched parentheses.
2. Different highlight rules: C++, GLSL, JSON, Java, JavaScript, XML, Lua, and Python.
3. Different completion rules: GLSL, Lua, and Python.
4. Auto indentation.
5. Replace tabs with spaces.
6. Frame selection.
7. 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. Initialize Git submodules: git submodule update --init
3. Go into the repository: cd QCodeEditor
4. Create a build folder: mkdir build
5. Go into the build folder: cd build
6. Generate a build file for your compiler: cmake ..
   1. If you need to build the example, specify -DBUILD_EXAMPLE=On on this step.
7. 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.)
