plugin development : modify javascript syntax highlighting rules

创建于 2012年07月23日 13:40

Hello,

I want to do a small change in .js files highlighting rules so that a piece of code inside :

/* KEYWORD

code

*/

follows the normal .js highlighting instead of the commented one.

Any advice on how to approach this problem ?

Thanks.

You can try IntelliLang language injection approach.

I've just pushed a small fix to to IDEA 12 that makes this possible:

otherwise you can write your own LanguageInjector.
Something like:

package foo;

public class MyCustomInjector implements MultiHostInjector {

  @NotNull
  public List<? extends Class<? extends PsiElement>> elementsToInjectIn() {
    return Collections.singletonList(PsiComment.class);
  }

  public void getLanguagesToInject(@NotNull final MultiHostRegistrar registrar, @NotNull final PsiElement host) {
     // if this is javascript comment and ..
     // .. if this is the required host
     if (host.getText().startsWith("/* KEYWORD")) {
       registrar.startInjecting(host.getLanguage());       // we can inject the same language
       registrar.addPlace("", "", host, desiredTextRange);
       registrar.doneInjecting();
     }
  }

}

and register it in plugin.xml:
<multiHostInjector implementation="foo.MyCustomInjector"/>

Hi,

Many thanks Gregory !

Using 10.5.4, so slightly modified your MyCustomInjector class and works perfectly.

Exactly the answer I was looking for.
