node.js support? about rainbow HOT 5 CLOSED

Any plans for this?

from rainbow.

I'm not sure exactly what is required to add node support. I am thinking it should just work because you can call:

Rainbow.color('var foo = true;', 'javascript', function(highlighted_code) {
    console.log(highlighted_code);
});

And that should not require access to the DOM.

I don't have a node environment set up at the moment, but I can look into it at some point.

@ccampbell it mostly does work today, although a few painful workarounds are required. These changes would make Rainbow would be more friendly in Node:

• instead of window["Rainbow"] = ..., use simply Rainbow = ... (they're equivalent in a browser).
• don't assume the presence of window, in particular when running window.addEventListener. Don't add event listeners if window doesn't exist.
• Provide a synchronous API (see #43).
• If you had a version of this project packaged using the commonJS module format, that would also be nice, but the three fixes above would allow most people interesting in using Rainbow on the server to get up-and-running with much less confusion.

For reference, this is what you'll need to do to run Rainbow using d8 (the V8 debug console):

window = this;
window.attachEvent = function() {};
window.setTimeout = function(block, timeout) { return block(); };

load("./rainbow.js");
load("./language/generic.js");
load("./language/javascript.js");

Rainbow.color('var foo = true;', 'javascript', function(highlighted_code) { print(highlighted_code); });

And this is what you'll need to do to run it using node:

window = this;
window.attachEvent = function() {};
window.setTimeout = function(block, timeout) { return block(); };

require("./rainbow.js");
require("./language/generic.js");
require("./language/javascript.js");

Rainbow.color('var foo = true;', 'javascript', function(highlighted_code) { console.log(highlighted_code); });

I suggest this pull request to review :
#79

Support for node.js and Rainbow.colorSync was added in version 2.0 which finally was released.

npm install rainbow-code

var rainbow = require('rainbow-code');
var highlightedCode = rainbow.colorSync('var finally = true;', 'javascript');
