Angular for syntax highlighting with highlight.js

Demo

Installation instructions

1、Install

npm install --save ngx-highlight-js

2、Add highlight.js

Load the highlight.js and theme css in page.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/highlightjs/cdn-release/build/styles/atom-one-dark.min.css" />
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/highlightjs/cdn-release/build/highlight.min.js"></script>

Usage

NgModule

Import the HighlightJsModule in to your root AppModule.

import { HighlightJsModule } from 'ngx-highlight-js';
@NgModule({
  imports: [ HighlightJsModule ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
}

Standalone

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { HighlightJsDirective } from 'ngx-highlight-js';
@Component({
  selector: 'test',
  template: `<textarea highlight-js [lang]="'bash'">npm install --save ngx-highlight-js</textarea>`,
  standalone: true,
  imports: [HighlightJsDirective],
})
export class SimpleComponent {}

Simple mode

<textarea highlight-js [options]="{}" [lang]="'typescript'">
/* tslint:disable */
import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'demo',
  templateUrl: './demo.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./demo.component.scss']
})
export class DemoComponent {
  switchStatus: boolean = true;
}
</textarea>

Default mode

Will render each <pre><code>:

<textarea highlight-js mode="default">
  <p>
    The bare minimum for using highlight.js on a web page is linking to the library along with one of the styles and calling
    <a href="http://highlightjs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#inithighlightingonload"><code>initHighlightingOnLoad</code></a
    >:
  </p>
  <pre><code class="language-html">&lt;link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; href=&quot;/path/to/styles/default.css&quot;&gt;
  &lt;script src=&quot;/path/to/highlight.min.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script&gt;hljs.initHighlightingOnLoad();&lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>
    This will find and highlight code inside of <code>&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;</code> tags; it tries to detect the language automatically. If
    automatic detection doesn’t work for you, you can specify the language in the <code>class</code> attribute:
  </p>
  <pre><code class="language-html">&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;html&quot;&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
  </code></pre>
</textarea>
