Configure online editor

[ErikSchierboom]

This issue is part of the migration to v3. You can read full details about the various changes here.

In Exercism v3, students can now choose to work on exercises directly from their browser, instead of having to download exercises to their local machine. The track-specific settings for the in-browser editor are defined in the top-level "online_editor" field in the track's config.json file. This field is defined as an object with two fields:

• "indent_style": the indent style, either "space" or "tab".
• "indent_size": the indent size, which is an integer (e.g. 4).

You can find a full description of these fields in the spec.

Goal

The "online_editor" field should be updated to correspond to the track's best practices regarding indentation.

Example

"online_editor": {
  "indent_style": "space",
  "indent_size": 4
}

Tracking

exercism/v3-launch#2

@lpil I have started working on it. Should the highlightJS language for this remain as Rust?

[lpil]

If we can add our own config there is one for Gleam here https://github.com/gleam-lang/gleam/blob/88015db9562dc5218c5e389574ae8672b0d937b1/compiler-core/templates/highlightjs-gleam.js

@lpil its not mentioned in the list of identifiers as per this

How should I refer it

[lpil]

I don't know, I only know about Gleam I'm afraid. You'll need to look into the Exercism documentation or keep it as the the Rust syntax.

@lpil Is there an NPM package for the gleam highlightjs functionality?

[lpil]

No but I can make one if that's useful

[hsadia538]

@ErikSchierboom please close the issue if no changes are required and is already up to date

[ErikSchierboom]

@lpil An NPM package would be perfect!

edit: ping me when it is published and I'll update the website
