Ace Edit is an Editor

Ace edit is an editor, not an IDE. We provide the features of ACE combined with a powerful editing interface.

Getting started

git clone https://github.com/mvhenten/ace-edit.git
cd ace-edit
npm install
npm run server

Feature goals:

Stage 1 (POC) File system and file tree:

We will focus on happy paths. Per browser tab you can only open one file tree at a time, we don't offer crud or even opening another file tree.

  • File system abstraction
    • Start with a mock file system
    • Local file system APIs
    • Explore ideas for remote file systems (S3 buckets, Git repos, SSM (??))
  • Open file tree
  • Open file, read file, safe file
  • Create file
  • Create dir

Stage 2 (FUTURE):

Some ideas that we want to keep on the horizon:

  • File system CRUD
  • Switching file systems (requires scoping the entire layout to a file system)
  • Persisting layout between reloads (requires caching the file system and reconnecting)
  1. ACE editing and configuration.

Stage 1 (POC):

Focus on the "demo effect" -> we don't need to do it all but just the thing that make it look nice.

  • Open multiple ACE editor windows in a tabbed view
  • Basic configuration in an edit pane to switch ace options

Stage 2 (FUTURE)

  • configuration can be stored and read from browser storage.
  • configuration can be stored and read from a file system
