I'm new to ace-editor and I have included custom mode to validate my code and every line should end up with semicolon, If semicolon is not present in my query by mistake then the editor should gives up the warning like "Missing Semicolon".
UPDATE:
The following js files are generated from ace and added to my rails application, the files are loaded in rails app but the functionality (semicolon check) doesn't seem to be working.

Update:
Ace editor widely support this kind analysis for JavaScript by default:
#editor {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
}
<div id="editor">function foo() { ; // unnessesary semicolon
var x = "bar" // missing semicolon
return x; // semicolon in place
}
</div>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ace/1.1.9/ace.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
var editor = ace.edit("editor");
editor.setTheme("ace/theme/monokai");
editor.getSession().setMode("ace/mode/javascript");
</script>
Just make sure that worker file worker-javascript.js
is available for your code. In code snippet above I use CDN to get Ace build, so worker is always available. You can configure JSHint via worker options.
Update: But if really need something beyond that you will need to do the following as my understanding goes:
Worker
and Mode
for you kind of analysiseditor.getSession().setMode("ace/mode/semicolonlineend");
Worker that perform line ending check will look something like that:
define(function(require, exports, module) {
"use strict";
var oop = require("../lib/oop");
var Mirror = require("../worker/mirror").Mirror;
var SemicolonLineEndCheckWorker = exports.SemicolonLineEndCheckWorker = function (sender) {
Mirror.call(this, sender);
this.setTimeout(500);
this.setOptions();
};
oop.inherits(SemicolonLineEndCheckWorker, Mirror);
(function() {
this.onUpdate = function () {
var text = this.doc.getValue();
var lines = text.replace(/^#!.*\n/, "\n").match(/[^\r\n]+/g);
var errors = [];
for (var i = 0; i < lines.length; i++) {
var lastLineCharacter = lines[i].trim().slice(-1);
if (lastLineCharacter === ';')
continue;
errors.push({
row: i,
column: lines[i].length-1,
text: "Missing semicolon at the end of the line",
type: "warning",
raw: "Missing semicolon"
});
}
this.sender.emit("annotate", errors);
};
}).call(SemicolonLineEndCheckWorker.prototype);
});
New mode that uses worker:
define(function(require, exports, module) {
"use strict";
var oop = require("../lib/oop");
var TextMode = require("./text").Mode;
var Mode = function() { };
oop.inherits(Mode, TextMode);
(function() {
this.createWorker = function(session) {
var worker = new WorkerClient(["ace"], "ace/mode/semicolonlineend_worker",
"SemicolonLineEndCheckWorker");
worker.attachToDocument(session.getDocument());
worker.on("annotate", function(results) {
session.setAnnotations(results.data);
});
worker.on("terminate", function() {
session.clearAnnotations();
});
return worker;
};
this.$id = "ace/mode/semicolonlineend";
}).call(Mode.prototype);
exports.Mode = Mode;
});
