This repository is a fork of SimpleMDE, made by Sparksuite. Go to the dedicated section for more information.
A drop-in JavaScript text area replacement for writing beautiful and understandable Markdown. EasyMDE allows users who may be less experienced with Markdown to use familiar toolbar buttons and shortcuts.
In addition, the syntax is rendered while editing to clearly show the expected result. Headings are larger, emphasized words are italicized, links are underlined, etc.
EasyMDE also features both built-in auto saving and spell checking. The editor is entirely customizable, from theming to toolbar buttons and javascript hooks.
Via npm:
npm install easymde
Via the UNPKG CDN:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/easymde/dist/easymde.min.css">
<script src="https://unpkg.com/easymde/dist/easymde.min.js"></script>

Below are the built-in toolbar icons (only some of which are enabled by default), which can be reorganized however you like. "Name" is the name of the icon, referenced in the JavaScript. "Action" is either a function or a URL to open. "Class" is the class given to the icon. "Tooltip" is the small tooltip that appears via the title=""
attribute. Note that shortcut hints are added automatically and reflect the specified action if it has a key bind assigned to it (i.e. with the value of action
set to bold
and that of tooltip
set to Bold
, the final text the user will see would be "Bold (Ctrl-B)").
Additionally, you can add a separator between any icons by adding "|"
to the toolbar array.
Name | Action | Tooltip Class |
---|---|---|
bold | toggleBold | Bold fa fa-bold |
italic | toggleItalic | Italic fa fa-italic |
strikethrough | toggleStrikethrough | Strikethrough fa fa-strikethrough |

Customize the toolbar using the toolbar
option.
Only the order of existing buttons:
const easyMDE = new EasyMDE({
toolbar: ["bold", "italic", "heading", "|", "quote"]
});
All information and/or add your own icons
const easyMDE = new EasyMDE({
toolbar: [
{
name: "bold",
action: EasyMDE.toggleBold,
className: "fa fa-bold",
title: "Bold",
},
"italics", // shortcut to pre-made button
{
name: "custom",
action: (editor) => {
// Add your own code
},
className: "fa fa-star",
title: "Custom Button",
attributes: { // for custom attributes
id: "custom-id",
"data-value": "custom value" // HTML5 data-* attributes need to be enclosed in quotation marks ("") because of the dash (-) in its name.
}
},
"|" // Separator
// [, ...]
]
});
Put some buttons on dropdown menu
const easyMDE = new EasyMDE({
toolbar: [{
name: "heading",
action: EasyMDE.toggleHeadingSmaller,
className: "fa fa-header",
title: "Headers",
},
"|",
{
name: "others",
className: "fa fa-blind",
title: "others buttons",
children: [
{
name: "image",
action: EasyMDE.drawImage,
className: "fa fa-picture-o",
title: "Image",
},
{
name: "quote",
action: EasyMDE.toggleBlockquote,
className: "fa fa-percent",
title: "Quote",
},
{
name: "link",
action: EasyMDE.drawLink,
className: "fa fa-link",
title: "Link",
}
]
},
// [, ...]
]
});
EasyMDE comes with an array of predefined keyboard shortcuts, but they can be altered with a configuration option. The list of default ones is as follows:
Shortcut (Windows / Linux) | Shortcut (macOS) | Action |
---|---|---|
Ctrl-' | Cmd-' | "toggleBlockquote" |
Ctrl-B | Cmd-B | "toggleBold" |
Ctrl-E | Cmd-E | "cleanBlock" |
Ctrl-H | Cmd-H | "toggleHeadingSmaller" |
Ctrl-I | Cmd-I | "toggleItalic" |
Ctrl-K | Cmd-K | "drawLink" |
Ctrl-L | Cmd-L | "toggleUnorderedList" |
Ctrl-P | Cmd-P | "togglePreview" |
Ctrl-Alt-C | Cmd-Alt-C | "toggleCodeBlock" |
Ctrl-Alt-I | Cmd-Alt-I | "drawImage" |
Ctrl-Alt-L | Cmd-Alt-L | "toggleOrderedList" |
Shift-Ctrl-H | Shift-Cmd-H | "toggleHeadingBigger" |
F9 | F9 | "toggleSideBySide" |
F11 | F11 | "toggleFullScreen" |
Here is how you can change a few, while leaving others untouched:
const editor = new EasyMDE({
shortcuts: {
"toggleOrderedList": "Ctrl-Alt-K", // alter the shortcut for toggleOrderedList
"toggleCodeBlock": null, // unbind Ctrl-Alt-C
"drawTable": "Cmd-Alt-T", // bind Cmd-Alt-T to drawTable action, which doesn't come with a default shortcut
}
});
Shortcuts are automatically converted between platforms. If you define a shortcut as "Cmd-B", on PC that shortcut will be changed to "Ctrl-B". Conversely, a shortcut defined as "Ctrl-B" will become "Cmd-B" for Mac users.
The list of actions that can be bound is the same as the list of built-in actions available for toolbar buttons.
You can catch the following list of events: https://codemirror.net/doc/manual.html#events
const easyMDE = new EasyMDE();
easyMDE.codemirror.on("change", () => {
console.log(easyMDE.value());
});
You can revert to the initial text area by calling the toTextArea
method. Note that this clears up the autosave (if enabled) associated with it. The text area will retain any text from the destroyed EasyMDE instance.
const easyMDE = new EasyMDE();
// ...
easyMDE.toTextArea();
easyMDE = null;
If you need to remove registered event listeners (when the editor is not needed anymore), call easyMDE.cleanup()
.
The following self-explanatory methods may be of use while developing with EasyMDE.
const easyMDE = new EasyMDE();
easyMDE.isPreviewActive(); // returns boolean
easyMDE.isSideBySideActive(); // returns boolean
easyMDE.isFullscreenActive(); // returns boolean
easyMDE.clearAutosavedValue(); // no returned value
EasyMDE is a continuation of SimpleMDE.
SimpleMDE began as an improvement of lepture's Editor project, but has now taken on an identity of its own. It is bundled with CodeMirror and depends on Font Awesome.
CodeMirror is the backbone of the project and parses much of the Markdown syntax as it's being written. This allows us to add styles to the Markdown that's being written. Additionally, a toolbar and status bar have been added to the top and bottom, respectively. Previews are rendered by Marked using GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM).
I originally made this fork to implement FontAwesome 5 compatibility into SimpleMDE. When that was done I submitted a pull request, which has not been accepted yet. This, and the project being inactive since May 2017, triggered me to make more changes and try to put new life into the project.
Changes include:
https://
by defaultMy intention is to continue development on this project, improving it and keeping it alive.
You may want to edit this library to adapt its behavior to your needs. This can be done in some quick steps:
gulp
command, which will generate files: dist/easymde.min.css
and dist/easymde.min.js

Serde
*Serde is a framework for serializing and deserializing Rust data structures efficiently and generically.*
You may be looking for:
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
Click to show Cargo.toml. Run this code in the playground.
[dependencies]
# The core APIs, including the Serialize and Deserialize traits. Always
# required when using Serde. The "derive" feature is only required when
# using #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)] to make Serde work with structs
# and enums defined in your crate.
serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
# Each data format lives in its own crate; the sample code below uses JSON
# but you may be using a different one.
serde_json = "1.0"
use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug)]
struct Point {
x: i32,
y: i32,
}
fn main() {
let point = Point { x: 1, y: 2 };
// Convert the Point to a JSON string.
let serialized = serde_json::to_string(&point).unwrap();
// Prints serialized = {"x":1,"y":2}
println!("serialized = {}", serialized);
// Convert the JSON string back to a Point.
let deserialized: Point = serde_json::from_str(&serialized).unwrap();
// Prints deserialized = Point { x: 1, y: 2 }
println!("deserialized = {:?}", deserialized);
}
Serde is one of the most widely used Rust libraries so any place that Rustaceans congregate will be able to help you out. For chat, consider trying the #rust-questions or #rust-beginners channels of the unofficial community Discord (invite: https://discord.gg/rust-lang-community), the #rust-usage or #beginners channels of the official Rust Project Discord (invite: https://discord.gg/rust-lang), or the #general stream in Zulip. For asynchronous, consider the [rust] tag on StackOverflow, the /r/rust subreddit which has a pinned weekly easy questions post, or the Rust Discourse forum. It's acceptable to file a support issue in this repo but they tend not to get as many eyes as any of the above and may get closed without a response after some time.

Thorough testing is crucial to the success of a software product. If your software doesn’t work properly, chances are strong that most people won’t buy or use it…at least not for long. But testing to find defects or bugs is time-consuming, expensive, often repetitive, and subject to human error. Automated testing, in which Quality Assurance teams use software tools to run detailed, repetitive, and data-intensive tests automatically, helps teams improve software quality and make the most of their always-limited testing resources.
Use these top tips to ensure that your software testing is successful and you get the maximum return on investment (ROI):
It is impossible to automate all testing, so it is important to determine what test cases should be automated first.
The benefit of automated testing is linked to how many times a given test can be repeated. Tests that are only performed a few times are better left for manual testing. Good test cases for automation are ones that are run frequently and require large amounts of data to perform the same action.
You can get the most benefit out of your automated testing efforts by automating:
Success in test automation requires careful planning and design work. Start out by creating an automation plan. This allows you to identify the initial set of tests to automate and serve as a guide for future tests. First, you should define your goal for automated testing and determine which types of tests to automate. There are a few different types of testing, and each has its place in the testing process. For instance, unit testing is used to test a small part of the intended application. To test a certain piece of the application’s UI, you would use functional or GUI testing.
After determining your goal and which types of tests to automate, you should decide what actions your automated tests will perform. Don’t just create test steps that test various aspects of the application’s behavior at one time. Large, complex automated tests are difficult to edit and debug. It is best to divide your tests into several logical, smaller tests. It makes your test environment more coherent and manageable and allows you to share test code, test data, and processes. You will get more opportunities to update your automated tests just by adding small tests that address new functionality. Test the functionality of your application as you add it, rather than waiting until the whole feature is implemented.
When creating tests, try to keep them small and focused on one objective. For example, separate tests for read-only versus reading/write tests. This allows you to use these individual tests repeatedly without including them in every automated test.
Once you create several simple automated tests, you can group your tests into one, larger automated test. You can organize automated tests by the application’s functional area, major/minor division in the application, common functions, or a base set of test data. If an automated test refers to other tests, you may need to create a test tree, where you can run tests in a specific order.
To get the most out of your automated testing, testing should be started as early as possible and ran as often as needed. The earlier testers get involved in the life cycle of the project the better, and the more you test, the more bugs you find. Automated unit testing can be implemented on day one and then you can gradually build your automated test suite. Bugs detected early are a lot cheaper to fix than those discovered later in production or deployment.
With the shift left movement, developers and advanced testers are now empowered to build and run tests. Tools allow users to run functional UI tests for web and desktop applications from within their favorite IDEs. With support for Visual Studio and Java IDEs such as IntelliJ and Eclipse, developers never have to leave the comfort of their ecosystem to validate application quality meaning teams can quickly and easily shift left to deliver software faster.
Selecting an automated testing tool is essential for test automation. There are a lot of automated testing tools on the market, and it is important to choose the automated testing tool that best suits your overall requirements.
Consider these key points when selecting an automated testing tool:
For detailed information about selecting automated testing tools for automated testing, see Selecting Automated Testing Tools.
Usually, the creation of different tests is based on QA engineers’ skill levels. It is important to identify the level of experience and skills for each of your team members and divide your automated testing efforts accordingly. For instance, writing automated test scripts requires expert knowledge of scripting languages. Thus, in order to perform these tasks, you should have QA engineers that know the script language provided by the automated testing tool.
Some team members may not be versed in writing automated test scripts. These QA engineers may be better at writing test cases. It is better when an automated testing tool has a way to create automated tests that do not require an in-depth knowledge of scripting languages.
You should also collaborate on your automated testing project with other QA engineers in your department. Testing performed by a team is more effective for finding defects and the right automated testing tool allows you to share your projects with several testers.
Good test data is extremely useful for data-driven testing. The data that should be entered into input fields during an automated test is usually stored in an external file. This data might be read from a database or any other data source like text or XML files, Excel sheets, and database tables. A good automated testing tool actually understands the contents of the data files and iterates over the contents in the automated test. Using external data makes your automated tests reusable and easier to maintain. To add different testing scenarios, the data files can be easily extended with new data without needing to edit the actual automated test.
Typically, you create test data manually and then save it to the desired data storage. However, you will find tools that provide you with the Data Generator that assists you in creating Table variables and Excel files that store test data. This approach lets you generate data of the desired type (integer numbers, strings, boolean values, and so on) and automatically save this data to the specified variable or file. Using this feature, you decrease the time spent on preparing test data for data-driven tests.
Creating test data for your automated tests is boring, but you should invest time and effort into creating data that is well structured. With good test data available, writing automated tests becomes a lot easier. The earlier you create good-quality data, the easier it is to extend existing automated tests along with the application’s development.
Automated tests created with scripts or keyword tests are dependent on the application under test. The user interface of the application may change between builds, especially in the early stages. These changes may affect the test results, or your automated tests may no longer work with future versions of the application. The problem is automated testing tools use a series of properties to identify and locate an object. Sometimes a testing tool relies on location coordinates to find the object. For instance, if the control caption or its location has changed, the automated test will no longer be able to find the object when it runs and will fail. To run the automated test successfully, you may need to replace old names with new ones in the entire project, before running the test against the new version of the application. However, if you provide unique names for your controls, it makes your automated tests resistant to these UI changes and ensures that your automated tests work without having to make changes to the text itself. This also eliminates the automated testing tool from relying on location coordinates to find the control, which is less stable and breaks easily.
