API Reference

Props

CommandLineConfig Interface

interface CommandLineConfig {
  user?: string;          // Username in prompt
  host?: string;          // Hostname in prompt
  path?: string;          // Current path in prompt
  basePrompt?: string;    // Custom base prompt
  continuationPrompt?: string;  // Prompt for continued lines
  lines?: LineConfig[];   // Pre-configured lines
}

interface LineConfig {
  content: string;        // Line content
  isOutput?: boolean;     // Is this line command output?
  isContinuation?: boolean;  // Is this a continuation line?
  customPrompt?: string;  // Custom prompt for this line
}

Supported Languages

The component supports syntax highlighting for the following languages out of the box:

• TypeScript
• JavaScript
• JSX/TSX
• CSS
• Python
• Java
• JSON
• Bash
• Markdown
• Shell Session

Styling

The component uses Tailwind CSS classes internally and can be customized using the className prop. The component respects dark/light mode and automatically adjusts its appearance.

Theme Customization

<CodeBlock
  code={code}
  theme="light"
  className="my-8 shadow-lg"
/>

Command-Line Mode Examples

Basic Terminal

<CodeBlock
  code="$ ls -la
total 24
drwxr-xr-x  5 user  group  160 Jan 14 10:00 ."
  isCommandLine={true}
/>

Custom Prompt

<CodeBlock
  code="$ npm start"
  isCommandLine={true}
  commandLine={{
    basePrompt: "➜",
    continuationPrompt: "→"
  }}
/>

Best Practices

1. Language Specification: Always specify the correct language for proper syntax highlighting:

<CodeBlock code={code} language="python" />

2. Theme Consistency: Match the theme with your application's color scheme:

<CodeBlock code={code} theme={isDarkMode ? 'dark' : 'light'} />

3. Command-Line Configuration: When using command-line mode, provide meaningful prompt information:

<CodeBlock
  code={commands}
  isCommandLine={true}
  commandLine={{
    user: "dev",
    host: "server",
    path: "/var/www"
  }}
/>

Performance Considerations

• The component uses React's useState and useEffect hooks efficiently
• Syntax highlighting is performed using Prism.js
• Line numbers are virtualized for better performance with large code blocks

Accessibility

• Proper ARIA labels and roles are implemented
• Keyboard navigation support for copy functionality
• High contrast ratios for better readability
• Screen reader friendly content structure
