Editor

The editor of the Source Academy is based on Ace. We have built Ace modes for each Source version, which feature:

Ace Mode

Syntax highlighting implemented in src/editors/ace, designed by zijian

• keywords: keywords of the current Source version
• forbidden words: JavaScript keywords that are not keywords of the current Source version
• pre-declared functions
• constants
• comments
• declarations (function, let, const)
• module import directives

Scope-related tools

• scope-driven auto-complete (designed by Shaowei and Cara), see Autocompletion-support-(name-extraction)

The following tools are implemented in src/scope-refactoring.ts

• linking to documentation of predeclared names, respecting the scope of names
• navigation from names to their declaration, respecting the scope of names
• refactoring of names across their scope
