* Install
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =html= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.
SCSS linting requires SCSS-Lint version >= 0.43.0. You can get it from GitHub:
#+BEGIN_SRC command-line
gem install specific_install
gem specific_install https://github.com/brigade/scss-lint.git
gem specific_install https://github.com/Sweetchuck/scss_lint_reporter_checkstyle.git
#+END_SRC
** LSP
To enable LSP, set the layer variables below to =t=:
- =css-enable-lsp=
- =less-enable-lsp=
- =scss-enable-lsp=
- =html-enable-lsp=
** web-beautify
See [[file:../../+tools/web-beautify/README.org][web-beautify layer]] documentation.
** prettier
See [[file:../../+tools/prettier/README.org][prettier layer]] documentation.
** Choosing a formatter
To choose a formatter, set the layer variable =web-fmt-tool=:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(html :variables web-fmt-tool 'web-beautify)
#+END_SRC
Formatter can be chosen on a per project basis using directory local variables
(files named =.dir-locals.el= at the root of a project), an example to use the
=prettier= formatter:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
;;; Directory Local Variables
;;; For more information see (info "(emacs) Directory Variables")
((html-mode (web-fmt-tool . prettier)))
#+END_SRC
*Note:* you can easily add a directory local variable with ~SPC f v d~.
* Backends
** Language Server Protocol
For css files, you have to install =vscode-css-languageserver-bin=
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
npm i -g vscode-css-languageserver-bin
#+END_SRC
For html files, you will need to install =vscode-html-languageserver-bin=
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
npm install -g vscode-html-languageserver-bin
#+END_SRC
Don't forget to set the corresponding layer variables mentioned above to =t=
* Live display in browser
Use ~SPC m I~ to enable impatient mode, opening a live view of a HTML file in
your browser. You may wish to enable impatient mode in referenced CSS or JS
files, too.
When the underlying file is an HTML file, ~SPC m I~ automatically opens the page
in the browser. For other buffers, a list of available views can be found on
[[http://localhost:8080/imp]].
For more information visit the [[https://github.com/skeeto/impatient-mode/blob/master/README.md][help page on GitHub.]]
