A Clojure library for generating syntax-highlighted strings of Clojure source code.
To use Glow in your project, just add the following to the :dependencies key of your project.clj:
[venantius/glow "0.1.0"]Usage is fairly straightforward.
Let's say you've got a clojure file with the following contents:
(ns sample)
(defn func
[^Throwable x & y]
(conj {} [:a (+ 1.1 x)]))
(def variable
@(future
(if-let [x 5]
true
"false")))All we have to do is slurp that file and pass the string to glow.core/highlight:
Nice.
Don't like the default colorscheme? No problem!
Pass a map with whatever highlighting options you want as an optional secondary argument:
Take a look at glow.core/colorscheme to see how this should be structured.
I'm interested in making the regular expressions in Glow faster and more robust. Frankly, I'm not an expert in regexes, and some of my implementations could use a more critical eye.
To that end, I'm actively soliciting pull requests to expand the regular expression test coverage and to detect and resolve failure cases.
If you're interested in making a different sort of contribution to the project, please make sure to open an issue before going straight to a pull request - I like to make sure there's a consensus that both of our time will be well spent.
I owe a big debt of gratitude to the authors, contributors and maintainers of vim-clojure-static, whose work was a constant reference as I was writing Glow's regular expressions.
