Highlight the lines that have changed

I have an ace editor built into my site. I have some code and I want to highlight changes in some lines.

It turned out that

var range = new Range(rowStart, columnStart, rowEnd, columnEnd);
var marker = editor.getSession().addMarker(range,"ace_active_line","background");

should highlight lines, but I am getting illigal constructor error when creating Range object. Any ideas?

Is there a way to add a yellow background to certain lines?

thank

The problem is that it Range

points to a native browser based range function, not ace. So you probably don't import it. Try doing something like:



// taken from kitchen-sink.js
var Range = require("./range").Range;

If you want to display the changed lines, you can mark the gutter instead of highlighting.

var modified = 'ace-changed'; // css class
editor.on('change', function(e) {
    var activeLine = e.start.row;
    if (e.action == "insert") {
        while (activeLine < (e.end.row+1)) {
            editor.session.removeGutterDecoration(activeLine, modified);
            editor.session.addGutterDecoration(activeLine, modified);
            activeLine++;
        }
    } else if (e.action == "remove") {
        while (activeLine < (e.end.row+1)) {
            editor.session.removeGutterDecoration(activeLine, modified);
            activeLine++;
        }
        editor.session.addGutterDecoration(e.start.row, modified);
    }
});

Sorry if my code is not very good - I started learning javascript just two days ago.

If you want to mark lines with errors / warnings, you can use this API:

    editor.getSession().setAnnotations([{
      row: 1,
      column: 10,
      text: "Strange error"
      type: "error" // also warning and information
    }]);
