Re: [orion-dev] onInputChange: how are file types decided?

[Mark MacDonald <Mark_MacDonald@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In the full-blown Orion platform, you can use the "orion.edit.highlighter" extension point to contribute new syntax highlighting. There's an example in org.eclipse.orion.client.core/web/plugins/webEditingPlugin.html, where HTML highlighting rules are contributed.

At the moment the contribution mechanism only accepts syntax highlighting rules based on a TextMate-style grammar written in JSON. (see htmlGrammar.js for example).
You can't contribute a _javascript_-based styler like our current TextStyler (used for .js/.java/.css).
I opened Bug 349044 for this..

In the mainstream code, there are various extension points that control how styling is done, what editor is opened for a filetype, etc. etc.
But these examples are trying to show the editor being used independent of all those services and the Orion platform.

Hence the "poor man's" file typing. We specifically don't want to reuse the orion client code for these example (though from previous comments John has made, his use case is a bit different than this one).

Is it platform code, or a pluggable service? Either way, we definitely don't want multiple copies of that code floating around.

I accidentally stumbled on the answer in examples/editor/embeddededitor:

if (fileName) {
              var splits = fileName.split(".");
              var extension = splits.pop().toLowerCase();
              if (splits.length > 0) {
                  switch(extension) {
                      case "js":
                          this.styler = new 
examples.textview.TextStyler(editorWidget, "js");
                          break;
                      case "java":
                          this.styler = new 
examples.textview.TextStyler(editorWidget, "java");
                          break;
                      case "css":
                          this.styler = new 
examples.textview.TextStyler(editorWidget, "css");
                          break;
                      case "html":
                          this.styler = new 
orion.editor.TextMateStyler(editorWidget, orion.editor.HtmlGrammar.grammar);
                          break;
                  }
              }
          }

This should be a platform call so we call get the same answer and don't 
dupe code.
