# env syntax support plugin for lite-xl
|
|
|
|
[Lite-XL](https://lite-xl.com/) is lightweight, fast and customizable open-source code editor.
|
|
|
|
This plugin adds syntax support for `*.env` files using *very simple* rules.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, in fact `env`-file syntax is more complicated than it seems, so current solution doesn't cover ALL possible syntax combinations.
|
|
My goal is to do so somehow in future but I think plugin is already good enought to use in most of basic cases.
|
|
|
|
Currently available highlighting:
|
|
* comments;
|
|
* keys;
|
|
* `export`;
|
|
* values:
|
|
* literals: `null`, `true`, `false`, `\n`, `\r`, `\t`, `\f`, `\b`, `\\`, `\"`, `\'`;
|
|
* numerics;
|
|
* strings:
|
|
* one-lined (inside `'...'` or `"..."`)
|
|
* multiline (inside `"""..."""` or `'''...'''`);
|
|
* string interpolation `${myvar}`;
|
|
|
|
TODO and known issues:
|
|
* in unquoted string values, word + `=` are showed as inlined key;
|
|
* escaped literals must not be used as keys;
|
|
* ...
|
|
|
|
You can use `test.env` file to check how plugin works.
|
|
|
|
## How to install
|
|
|
|
