- jQuery
//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js - ACE Editor
https://rawgithub.com/ajaxorg/ace-builds/master/src/ace.js - Emmet extension for ACE
https://rawgithub.com/ajaxorg/ace-builds/master/src/ext-emmet.js - Emmet core
https://rawgithub.com/nightwing/emmet-core/master/emmet.js
You also have to add parsers if you want to support preprocessors:
- Coffescript
editr/parsers/coffeescript.js - LESS
editr/parsers/less.js
Copy editr folder to root of your website.
Add this in <head>:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/editr/editr.css">and this before </body>:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://rawgithub.com/ajaxorg/ace-builds/master/src/ace.js"></script>
<script src="https://rawgithub.com/ajaxorg/ace-builds/master/src/ext-emmet.js"></script>
<script src="https://rawgithub.com/nightwing/emmet-core/master/emmet.js"></script>
<script src="/editr/editr.js"></script>Additionally you can add(before Editr script) LESS and CoffeeScript compilers if you're going to use them:
<script src="/editr/parsers/coffeescript.js"></script>
<script src="/editr/parsers/less.js"></script>Embed single editor:
<div class="editr" data-item="PROJECT-NAME" data-files-html="index-1.html;index-2.html" data-files-css="!normalize.css;style.css" data-files-js="!jquery.js;script.js"></div>Run it:
$('.editr').each(function() {
new Editr({ el: this });
});This will load project named 'PROJECT-NAME' from 'items/' folder(Editr default value). Files passed in data-files-[html/css/js] will be loaded in a queue. Files with '!' before name will be hidden from Editr navigation bar.

| Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| view | single |
Editr layout view. Other options: horizontal, vertical. |
| path | items |
Path to folder with projects. |
| theme | monokai |
ACE Editor theme. |

| callback | function (editor) {} |
Callback triggered after all files are loaded and Editr is ready. Editr object is passed as an argument, use wisely. |
| parsers | Check source | You can add custom parsers for preprocessors. Check source for more info. |
Please keep in mind that using API functions is most stable in callback which you can configure in JS options. Editr object is passed for it as an argument.
In case, you want to use API functions outside of callback, use them on pure JS objects, not jQuery.
Here's how to make jQuery object a pure js object:
$('.editr')[0]On that object you can use any of API methods:
| Name | Arguments | Description |
|---|---|---|
| isReady | None | Check if Editr is fully loaded |
| getFiles | type - html, css, js, null |
Return all files for given type or overall if not passed |
| getFile | type - html, css, js, null id - File ID |
Return single file for given type(extension) and id |
| setReadOnly | value - boolean |
Set Editr textareas read state |
