Dependencies
- jQuery
//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js - ACE Editor
//cdn.jsdelivr.net/ace/1.1.01/min/ace.js - Emmet extension for ACE
//cdn.jsdelivr.net/ace/1.1.01/min/ext-emmet.js - Emmet core
/editr/libs/ext.emmet.js
You also have to add parsers if you want to support preprocessors:
- Coffescript
/editr/libs/parser.coffeescript.js - LESS
/editr/libs/parser.less.js
Installation
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="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/ace/1.1.01/min/ace.js"></script>
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/ace/1.1.01/min/ext-emmet.js"></script>
<script src="/editr/libs/ext.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/libs/parser.coffeescript.js"></script>
<script src="/editr/libs/parser.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.

Load files from Gists
To load files from Gists, you need to configure gist proxy file first, it's really easy.
Go to Authorized Applications page and create new Personal Access Token, name it Editr or whatever you want.
Open editr/libs/proxy.gist.php file, update $username and $api_token variables.
Now make sure that gistProxyURL option is set properly.
API
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]
You can also access all Editr instances using EditrInstances var.
On that object you can use any of API methods:
| Name | Arguments | Description |
|---|---|---|
| isReady | None | Check if Editr is fully loaded |
| getGists | None | Return all gists |
| getFiles | type - html, css, js, null | Return all files for given type or overall if not passed |
| getFile | type - html, css, js, null <br> id - File ID | Return single file for given type(extension) and id |
| setReadOnly | value - boolean | Set Editr textareas read state |
