Riot Syntax

Only supports Sublime Text 3.

Language definitions for ES6+ JavaScript with RiotJS extensions for Sublime Text 3.

Adds syntax highlighting support for HTML right inside of ES6 strings (i.e …) when it's inside of riot.tag('your-tag', ...). It also supports modern JavaScript syntax, including arrow functions, destructuring, shorthand methods, template strings, and more.

This package is a port of Babel-Sublime for RiotJS. The Babel-Sublime only supports syntax highlighting of React .jsx components. This package is here to change it. Basically, all it does, is that it makes your HTML inside of … strings to act like it's React's HTML inside of JavaScript.

Please note, that it has no jsx support. It ships with a new syntax called JavaScript Riot which should be used only for your Riot's pure-js tags. If you are not planning to ever use jsx, you can use it as your default JavaScript syntax.

Why to use plain JavaScript instead of .tag files?

1. Linter support
2. You can use JS sourcemaps
3. Easier debugging (browser or terminal)
4. Easier testing
5. No extra compilation step
6. Require tags with Webpack or Browserify directly, without any loaders

Installation

Find it as Riot Syntax through Package Control.

Setting as the default syntax

To set it as the default syntax for a particular extension: 1. Open a file with that extension, 2. Select View from the menu, 3. Then Syntax -> Open all with current extension as... -> JavaScript Riot. 4. Repeat this for each extension (e.g.: .js, .jsr, .riot).

Setting a Color Scheme

Riot Syntax comes bundled with Next, Monokai and Github color themes. Select one from Preferences -> Color Scheme -> Riot Syntax

Configuring the “Sublime Linter” package

If you are using a custom extension name (e.g: .riot) for your RiotJS tags and you want to have linting support for such file, then you need to customize “sublime linter” config file.

Go to Package Settings -> Sublime Linter -> Settings – User and add this line "javascript riot": "javascript" to your syntax_map. After this modification your config file should look like so:

{
  "user": {
    ...
    "syntax_map": {
        ...
        "javascript riot": "javascript" // <- add this line
    },
    ...
  }
}
