Listen for the UNSTABLE_editor:extensions event to add your CodeMirror 6
extension(s) to the extensions array. Use the exported objects to avoid
instanceof comparison errors.
Open an issue on http://github.com/overleaf/overleaf if you think more
should be exported.
This API is **unsupported** and subject to change without warning.
Example:
window.addEventListener("UNSTABLE_editor:extensions", function(evt) {
const { CodeMirror, extensions } = evt.detail;
// CodeMirror contains exported objects from the CodeMirror instance
const { EditorSelection, ViewPlugin } = CodeMirror;
// ...
// Any custom extensions should be pushed to the \`extensions\` array
extensions.push(myCustomExtension)
});`,
})
return extensions
