↳ Simply put, it's simple, fast, lightweight, and stable! Currently, there are three popular libraries for implementing advanced text editors in the Odoo web browser system - Ace, CodeMirror, and Monaco. After analyzing various aspects, we evaluated CodeMirror as the most balanced choice in terms of stability, functionality, and performance. That's why this module was created.

↳ If you're looking for a widget to develop a specific feature for Odoo that requires legacy code/script editing, key binding support, and a color picker, then this module is for you.

↳ If you're looking for a powerful widget for editing programming languages with extensive features, then this module is not suitable for your needs. In that case, you should consider using the Monaco Editor.

↳ Absolutely, it is a technical module designed primarily for programmers or those with programming experience. It is used similarly to other Odoo widgets. Here's some example:

<field name="your_target_css_field" widget="codemirror" options="{'mode': 'css', 'colorpicker': true}" />
<field name="your_target_scss_field" widget="codemirror" options="{'mode': 'scss', 'colorpicker': true}" />
<field name="your_target_sql_field" widget="codemirror" options="{'mode': 'sql'}" />
<field name="your_target_xml_field" widget="codemirror" options="{'mode': 'xml'}" />
<field name="your_target_html_field" widget="codemirror" options="{'mode': 'xml'}" />
<field name="your_target_python_field" widget="codemirror" options="{'mode': 'python'}" />
                                            

↳ CodeMirror itself supports a wide range of languages, and we can support any language that CodeMirror supports. Currently, as a starting point for the release, we have selected the following languages as the officially supported ones.

• Python
• Javascript
• Markdown
• PHP
• CSS/SCSS
• XML/HTML
• HTML Mixed
• HTML Embedded
• SASS
• JSON
• SQL

↳ Yes, this module is flexible and adapts to the dark theme of Odoo.

↳ Yes, this module integrates a color picker. Additionally, it is highly flexible, allowing you to choose colors directly within languages like YAML. This is extremely useful when using YAML for developing color configuration sets.
