    auth: (accept, reject) => (username, password) => {
        accept();
    },
});

Client

Dword uses codemirror on client side, so API is similar. All you need is put minimal html, css, and js into your page.

Minimal html:

<div class="edit" data-name="js-edit"></div>
<script src="/dword/dword.js"></script>

Minimal css:

html, body, .edit {
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0;
}

Minimal js:

dword('[data-name="js-edit"]', (editor) => {
    editor.setValue('hello dword');
    console.log('dword is ready');
});

Client API

dword(selector, callback)

• selector: string
• callback: EditorCallback

Initialize new instance

editor.setValue(value)

• value: string

Set value to editor.

editor.getValue()

• returns: string

Get value from editor.

Types

interface Editor {
    setValue: (value: string) => void;
    getValue: () => string;
}

type EditorCallback = (editor: Editor) => void;
type Dword = (selector: string, callback: EditorCallback) => void;

For more information you could always look around client/dword.js directory.
