I'm working on some markdown editor for my react project. I wanna use CodeMirror as the code editor, but it seems it does not working when I build it with webpack.
If be honest, CodeMirror are in the DOM-tree, textArea is hidden, but everything I see is:
and
UPD: The same code works perfect on codepen. I guess it's a problem with webpack.
some code:
index.js
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import {Editor} from './components';
const rootElement = document.getElementById('root');
ReactDOM.render(<Editor />, rootElement);
components/editor.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import cm from 'codemirror';
require('codemirror/mode/markdown/markdown');
export class App extends Component {
componentDidMount() {
this.codeMirror = cm.fromTextArea(this.refs.editor, {mode: 'markdown'})
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<textarea ref='editor' autoComplete='off' defaultValue='default value' />
</div>
);
}
}
server.js
var path = require('path');
var express = require('express');
var webpack = require('webpack');
var config = require('./webpack.config.dev');
var HOST = 'localhost';
var PORT = 3000;
var app = express();
var compiler = webpack(config);
app.use(require('webpack-dev-middleware')(compiler, {
noInfo: true,
publicPath: config.output.publicPath
}));
app.get('*', function(req, res) {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, '/app/index.html'));
});
app.listen(PORT, HOST, function(err) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
return;
}
console.log('Listening at http://' + HOST + ':' + PORT);
});
and webpack.config.js
var path = require('path');
var webpack = require('webpack');
module.exports = {
devtool: 'eval',
entry: [
'webpack-hot-middleware/client',
'./app/index'
],
output: {
path: path.join(__dirname, 'dist'),
filename: 'bundle.js',
publicPath: '/static/'
},
plugins: [
new webpack.HotModuleReplacementPlugin(),
new webpack.NoErrorsPlugin()
],
module: {
loaders: [{
test: /\.js$/,
loaders: ['babel'],
include: path.join(__dirname, 'app')
}]
}
};
In webpack gitter chat @bebraw answered to my question:
Codemirror works with webpack but it takes some extra setup. you need to bring some css etc. for it to render. example
