# env syntax support plugin for lite-xl
[Lite-XL](https://lite-xl.com/) is lightweight, fast and customizable open-source code editor.
This plugin adds syntax support for `*.env` files using *very simple* rules.
Unfortunately, in fact `env`-file syntax is more complicated than it seems, so current solution doesn't cover ALL possible syntax combinations.
My goal is to do so somehow in future but I think plugin is already good enought to use in most of basic cases.
Currently available highlighting:
* comments;
* keys;
* `export`;
* values:
* literals: `null`, `true`, `false`, `\n`, `\r`, `\t`, `\f`, `\b`, `\\`, `\"`, `\'`;
* numerics;
* strings:
* one-lined (inside `'...'` or `"..."`)
* multiline (inside `"""..."""` or `'''...'''`);
* string interpolation `${myvar}`;
TODO and known issues:
* in unquoted string values, word + `=` are showed as inlined key;
* escaped literals must not be used as keys;
* ...
You can use `test.env` file to check how plugin works.
## How to install
To install a plugin:
* Drop `language_env.lua` file in:
* Linux: `~/.config/lite-xl/plugins/`
* MacOS: `~/.config/lite-xl/plugins/`
* Windows: `C:\Users\(username)\.config\lite-xl\plugins\`
* If lite-xl is already opened then save files just press `Ctrl`+`Shift`+`P` => `rst` => `Enter` to reboot editor's core and load plugin immidiately.
