Importing all languages in node.js

This is related to: https://github.com/PrismJS/prism/issues/593

The components are injected when you require the module, so can we have (for the node users) an index.js inside components folder, that does this?

require './prism-abap.js';
require './prism-actionscript.js';
require './prism-apacheconf.js';
// ...

So then we only have to use:

import prismjs from 'prismjs';
import 'prismjs/components';

---

Or even something like:

function loadComponents(arr) {
  arr.foreach(function(language) {
    require('./prism-' + language);
  });
}

module.exports = loadComponents;

import prismjs from 'prismjs';
import loadComponents from 'prismjs/components';
loadComponents(['php', 'ruby']);

This won’t work in the browser i think, but why not have this simple helper for the node users?

Ok, we added a loadLanguages() function that can be used as suggested here:

var Prism = require('./components/prism-core.js');
var loadLanguages = require('./components/index.js');
loadLanguages(['php', 'ruby']);

Prism.highlight(...);

It will load the required dependencies.

I still need to document this somewhere. I’ll close the issue once it’s done.

I found that if you don’t specify an array of languages, all of them will be loaded.

In TypeScript, I was able to load all languages using this syntax:

import * as prism from 'prismjs';
require("prismjs/components/")();
