<h2 id=upgrade>Upgrading to version 3</h2>
<p>Version 3 does not depart too much from 2.x API, and sites that use
CodeMirror in a very simple way might be able to upgrade without
trouble. But it does introduce a number of incompatibilities. Please
at least skim this text before upgrading.</p>
<p>Note that <strong>version 3 drops full support for Internet
Explorer 7</strong>. The editor will mostly work on that browser, but
it'll be significantly glitchy.</p>
<section id=dom>
<h2>DOM structure</h2>
<p>This one is the most likely to cause problems. The internal
structure of the editor has changed quite a lot, mostly to implement a
new scrolling model.</p>
<p>Editor height is now set on the outer wrapper element (CSS
class <code>CodeMirror</code>), not on the scroller element
(<code>CodeMirror-scroll</code>).</p>
<p>Other nodes were moved, dropped, and added. If you have any code
that makes assumptions about the internal DOM structure of the editor,
you'll have to re-test it and probably update it to work with v3.</p>
<p>See the <a href="manual.html#styling">styling section</a> of the
manual for more information.</p>
</section>
<section id=gutters>
<h2>Gutter model</h2>
<p>In CodeMirror 2.x, there was a single gutter, and line markers
created with <code>setMarker</code> would have to somehow coexist with
the line numbers (if present). Version 3 allows you to specify an
array of gutters, <a href="manual.html#option_gutters">by class
name</a>,
use <a href="manual.html#setGutterMarker"><code>setGutterMarker</code></a>
to add or remove markers in individual gutters, and clear whole
gutters
with <a href="manual.html#clearGutter"><code>clearGutter</code></a>.
Gutter markers are now specified as DOM nodes, rather than HTML
snippets.</p>
<p>The gutters no longer horizontally scrolls along with the content.
The <code>fixedGutter</code> option was removed (since it is now the
only behavior).</p>
<pre data-lang="text/html">
&lt;style>
/* Define a gutter style */
.note-gutter { width: 3em; background: cyan; }
&lt;/style>
&lt;script>
// Create an instance with two gutters -- line numbers and notes
var cm = new CodeMirror(document.body, {
gutters: ["note-gutter", "CodeMirror-linenumbers"],
lineNumbers: true
});
// Add a note to line 0
cm.setGutterMarker(0, "note-gutter", document.createTextNode("hi"));
&lt;/script>
</pre>
</section>
<section id=events>
<h2>Event handling</h2>
<p>Most of the <code>onXYZ</code> options have been removed. The same
effect is now obtained by calling
the <a href="manual.html#on"><code>on</code></a> method with a string
identifying the event type. Multiple handlers can now be registered
(and individually unregistered) for an event, and objects such as line
handlers now also expose events. See <a href="manual.html#events">the
full list here</a>.</p>
<p>(The <code>onKeyEvent</code> and <code>onDragEvent</code> options,
which act more as hooks than as event handlers, are still there in
their old form.)</p>
<pre data-lang="javascript">
cm.on("change", function(cm, change) {
console.log("something changed! (" + change.origin + ")");
});
</pre>
</section>
<section id=marktext>
<h2>markText method arguments</h2>
<p>The <a href="manual.html#markText"><code>markText</code></a> method
(which has gained some interesting new features, such as creating
atomic and read-only spans, or replacing spans with widgets) no longer
takes the CSS class name as a separate argument, but makes it an
optional field in the options object instead.</p>
<pre data-lang="javascript">
// Style first ten lines, and forbid the cursor from entering them
cm.markText({line: 0, ch: 0}, {line: 10, ch: 0}, {
className: "magic-text",
inclusiveLeft: true,
atomic: true
});
</pre>
</section>
<section id=folding>
<h2>Line folding</h2>
<p>The interface for hiding lines has been
removed. <a href="manual.html#markText"><code>markText</code></a> can
now be used to do the same in a more flexible and powerful way.</p>
<p>The <a href="../demo/folding.html">folding script</a> has been
updated to use the new interface, and should now be more robust.</p>
<pre data-lang="javascript">
// Fold a range, replacing it with the text "??"
var range = cm.markText({line: 4, ch: 2}, {line: 8, ch: 1}, {
replacedWith: document.createTextNode("??"),
// Auto-unfold when cursor moves into the range
clearOnEnter: true
});
// Get notified when auto-unfolding
CodeMirror.on(range, "clear", function() {
console.log("boom");
});
</pre>
</section>
<section id=lineclass>
<h2>Line CSS classes</h2>
<p>The <code>setLineClass</code> method has been replaced
by <a href="manual.html#addLineClass"><code>addLineClass</code></a>
and <a href="manual.html#removeLineClass"><code>removeLineClass</code></a>,
which allow more modular control over the classes attached to a line.</p>
<pre data-lang="javascript">
var marked = cm.addLineClass(10, "background", "highlighted-line");
setTimeout(function() {
cm.removeLineClass(marked, "background", "highlighted-line");
});
</pre>
</section>
<section id=positions>
<h2>Position properties</h2>
<p>All methods that take or return objects that represent screen
positions now use <code>{left, top, bottom, right}</code> properties
(not always all of them) instead of the <code>{x, y, yBot}</code> used
by some methods in v2.x.</p>
<p>Affected methods
are <a href="manual.html#cursorCoords"><code>cursorCoords</code></a>, <a href="manual.html#charCoords"><code>charCoords</code></a>, <a href="manual.html#coordsChar"><code>coordsChar</code></a>,
and <a href="manual.html#getScrollInfo"><code>getScrollInfo</code></a>.</p>
</section>
<section id=matchbrackets>
<h2>Bracket matching no longer in core</h2>
<p>The <a href="manual.html#addon_matchbrackets"><code>matchBrackets</code></a>
option is no longer defined in the core editor.
Load <code>addon/edit/matchbrackets.js</code> to enable it.</p>
</section>
<section id=modes>
<h2>Mode management</h2>
<p>The <code>CodeMirror.listModes</code>
and <code>CodeMirror.listMIMEs</code> functions, used for listing
defined modes, are gone. You are now encouraged to simply
inspect <code>CodeMirror.modes</code> (mapping mode names to mode
constructors) and <code>CodeMirror.mimeModes</code> (mapping MIME
strings to mode specs).</p>
</section>
<section id=new>
<h2>New features</h2>
<p>Some more reasons to upgrade to version 3.</p>
<ul>
<li>Bi-directional text support. CodeMirror will now mostly do the
right thing when editing Arabic or Hebrew text.</li>
<li>Arbitrary line heights. Using fonts with different heights
inside the editor (whether off by one pixel or fifty) is now
supported and handled gracefully.</li>
<li>In-line widgets. See <a href="../demo/widget.html">the demo</a>
and <a href="manual.html#addLineWidget">the docs</a>.</li>
<li>Defining custom options
with <a href="manual.html#defineOption"><code>CodeMirror.defineOption</code></a>.</li>
</ul>
