HEEx is a templating engine on top of Elixir's EEx templating
language specific to HTML that is included in Phoenix.LiveView
(though I think the plan is to eventually include it in base
Phoenix). It's a superset of EEx with some additional features
like components and slots.
The injections don't work perfectly because the Elixir grammar is
newline sensitive (the _terminator rule). See
https://github.com/elixir-lang/tree-sitter-elixir/issues/24
for more information.
This will become more important with the HEEx grammar being added.
Error highlighting with the Elixir grammar is a bit jumpy because
in some scenarios, a bit of missing syntax can force tree-sitter to
give up on error recovery and mark the entire tree as an error.
This ends up looking bad when editing. We don't typically highlight
error nodes so I'm inclined to leave it out of the highlights here.
news:
- tree-sitter-elixir now powers Elixir syntax highlighting on github.com
- GitHub now supports code-navigation for Elixir repos via
tree-sitter-elixir
changes:
- modules now use the `@module` highlight, which was added upstream to
tree-sitter
- it seems appropriate to use `@namespace` to follow helix convention
- added nullary range operator (e.g. `Enum.to_list(..) == []`), a new syntax
for elixir 1.14
- a fix for stab clause nodes mis-highlighting when the right hand side of
the stab clause contained multiple simple expressions
