Configuring the syntax editor

The Syntax Editor plugin (com.glide.syntax_editor) is required to use this functionality. To configure the JavaScript syntax editor functionality on an instance, you can use the following system properties:

• glide.ui.javascript_editor: Turn on or off using the JavaScript syntax editor for script fields.
• glide.ui.syntax_editor.show_warnings_errors: Configure whether to show indicators next to a line of code that contains an issue for errors, warnings, both, or none.
• glide.ui.syntax_editor.linter.eslint_config: View or modify the default linting configurations for scripts.
• glide.ui.syntax_editor.linter.eslint_config.ecmascript2021: View or modify the default linting configurations for scripts using the ECMAScript 2021 (ES12) JavaScript mode.
• glide.ui.syntax_editor.context_menu: Turn on or off showing the context menu for script includes, Glide APIs, and tables in the syntax editor.
