dsh-file-explorer-preview-code

中文 | English

A CodeMirror 6 code preview and editor for DSH Web, built on codemirror (basicSetup) + @codemirror/language-data (per-language highlighting) + @codemirror/theme-one-dark (dark theme). It overrides dsh-file-explorer's built-in plain-text preview (priority 0) at priority 10, giving code files syntax highlighting plus in-place editing with autosave.

Screenshots

Features

1. Syntax highlighting: resolves the language from the file name via @codemirror/language-data (~90 languages), so .ts/.tsx/.js/.jsx/.json/.css/.html/.py/.yaml/.yml/.toml/.sh/.go/.rs/.java/.c/.cpp/.h/.xml/.sql/.ini each get the right tokens. 2. In-place editing: the preview is a real CodeMirror editor (line numbers, undo/redo, line wrapping), not a read-only <pre>. 3. Autosave: edits save 500ms after the last keystroke, plus Ctrl/Cmd+S saves immediately. 4. Save status bar: a slim footer shows the language, Ln/Col cursor position, and the save state (Unsaved / Saving… / Saved / Save failed) with a manual Save button. 5. Theme-aware: highlighting follows DSH's dark/light toggle (data-ds-dark-theme) live. 6. Extensible by design: registers through the fileExplorer service, so the core file explorer is untouched.

Dependencies

This plugin requires @dsh-external/dsh-file-explorer — it injects the fileExplorer cordis service, which provides registerPreview and writeFile (the save path). Install and enable dsh-file-explorer before this plugin:

git clone https://github.com/wolfsonliu/dsh-file-explorer.git
cd dsh-file-explorer
npm install && npm run build
dsh plugin --profile web add .

> @dsh-external/dsh-file-explorer is installed from git (github:wolfsonliu/dsh-file-explorer) so tsc resolves its ./client type definitions. To develop against an unpublished local checkout instead, point that dependency at your own path.

Install

From the git repository:

git clone https://github.com/wolfsonliu/dsh-file-explorer-preview-code.git
cd dsh-file-explorer-preview-code
npm install && npm run build
dsh plugin --profile web add .
dsh web

How it works

The client entry injects fileExplorer and locale, then registers one CodePreview component for every code extension at priority 10:

export const inject = ['fileExplorer', 'locale']

export function apply(ctx) {
  ctx.effect(() => {
    const readRaw = typeof ctx.fileExplorer.readRawFile === 'function'
      ? ctx.fileExplorer.readRawFile.bind(ctx.fileExplorer)
      : undefined
    const component = makeCodePreview(ctx.fileExplorer.writeFile, readRaw, ctx.locale.bind(CODE_NS))
    const disposers = CODE_EXTS.map(ext => ctx.fileExplorer.registerPreview(ext, component, 10))
    return () => { for (const d of disposers) d() }
  })
}

Registered extensions (CODE_EXTS): ts tsx js jsx json css html py yaml yml toml env sh go rs java c cpp h xml sql graphql cfg ini.

The editor component handles four preview kinds:

When readRawFile is unavailable (older dsh-file-explorer core), text-large and binary files show an upgrade prompt. Edits always flow back through fileExplorer.writeFile(filePath, content).

Configuration

The bundle inserts a single roster row (no host-side configuration):

- insert:
    - id: file-explorer-preview-code
      name: '@dsh-external/dsh-file-explorer-preview-code'

Language coverage

@codemirror/language-data matches 21 of the 24 extensions to a language. env and graphql have no language support and open as a plain (un-highlighted) editable buffer; cfg matches language-data's legacy TTCN_CFG (a matching artifact, not a semantic ini match). All still open in the editor.

Known Limitations

• Bundle size: all @codemirror/* language packages are inlined into a single lib/client.js (~2.7 MB raw, loaded lazily on demand).
• No Markdown: .md/.mdx stay with dsh-file-explorer's built-in markdown preview.
• Write-through: editing writes directly back to the workspace file; there is no diff/preview-before-save or multi-tab.
• Large files: files above dsh-file-explorer's maxTextBytes (2 MiB) arrive as preview.kind === 'text-large' and are fetched via readRawFile then loaded into the editor. Very large files (hundreds of MiB) may cause browser performance issues due to the single-buffer CodeMirror model. readRawFile is part of the stable service contract (added in v0.1.0).

Developing preview plugins

This repo is the reference implementation for building a preview plugin. See [docs/developing-preview-plugins.md](docs/developing-preview-plugins.md) ([中文](docs/developing-preview-plugins.zh.md)) for the contract, a minimal skeleton, bundling notes, and i18n.

Development

npm install
npm run check     # tsc type check
npm test          # vitest unit tests
npm run build     # tsc + tsdown (host ESM stub + client CJS bundle)

> After npm run build, hard-refresh the browser (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+R): dsh web may keep serving a cached plugin bundle, so a soft reload can leave your latest build unused.
