syntax highlighting for react code in sublime
JavascriptReactjsSublimetext3Syntax HighlightingJavascript Problem Overview
I'm started writing some basic React code in sublime text. Here is what my syntax highlighting looks like. Its partly highlighted. Is there any suggested sublime plugin i can use to see a complete syntax highlight?
import React, { Component } from 'react'
import { connect } from 'react-redux' // <-- is the glue between react and redux
import { bindActionCreators } from 'redux'
import { selectBook } from '../actions/index'
// there is no intrinsic connection between React and Redux
// they are two seperate libraries
// they are connected using a seperate library called ReactRedux
// container? its a React component that hasa direct connection to state managed by Redux
class BookList extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props)
//this.props = props;
}
renderList() {
return this.props.books.map((book) => {
return (
<li key={book.title} className="list-group-item">{book.title}</li>
)
})
}
render() {
return (
<ul className="list-group col-sm-4">
{this.renderList()}
</ul>
)
}
}
// function is the glue between react and redux
function mapStateToProps(state) {
// Whatever gets retrieved from here will show up as props inside
// of book-list
return {
books: state.books
}
}
// anything returned from this function will end up as props on the BookList container
function mapDispatchToProps(dispatch) {
return bindActionCreators({selectBook: selectBook}, dispatch)
}
// Promote BookList from a component to a container - it needs to know
// about this new dispatch method, selectBook. Make it available as a prop
export default connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(BookList);
EDIT: [Fixed some incorrect syntax, Added code text]
Javascript Solutions
Solution 1 - Javascript
Installing babel fixes the syntax highlighting.
Steps to install babel on sublime3:
- For windows: Press Ctrl+Shift+P For mac: Cmd+Shift+P
- Then type
install
and selectPackage control: Install Package
- Then type
Babel
and select'Babel-Snippets'
. It will install babel in few moments. - Then set the Babel syntax in Sublime3 Editor from:
View > Syntax > Babel > Javascript
For some users, Babel
was missing in step 4. They can additionally install Babel
by following the same steps and selecting Babel
this time instead of Babel-Snippets
in step3.
Check I tested it:
Solution 2 - Javascript
You need to install babel-sublime
plugin.
You can install it from package control
of sublime.
Here is the link - https://github.com/babel/babel-sublime
Solution 3 - Javascript
- Step 1 - Go to Package Control ( ctrl + shift + p)
- Step 2 - Select install package
- Step 3 - Search for JSX plugin and install it.
- Step 4 - Then set the JSX syntax in Sublime3 Editor from: View > Syntax > JSX.
Use filename with .jsx
extension
Solution 4 - Javascript
1- Go to package control 2- Search for naomi-syntax and install it. 3- Then set the naomi-syntax syntax in Sublime3 Editor from: View > Syntax > naomi-syntax.
Solution 5 - Javascript
I was able to solve this by setting the syntax to JSX. I didn't need to install this plugin.
