How to load ace editor

Question

I am trying to use the Ace code editor library (http://ace.ajax.org/), but im having trouble. According to the embedding guide, this should load the required js files from Amazo

Answer 1

I faced trouble when trying to get this done. The code given in ACE homepage didn't work for me. I had all my files in local directory, but you can use a CDN instead if you want.

I placed the ace directory from lib/ace into my static/ directory. Change that part to your own location.

I had to use Require.js api to load ace. This is the code that worked for me :

    function foo(items) {
    var x = "All this is syntax highlighted";
    return x;
    }
