Missing mode file extensions in CodeMirror.modeInfo

[silverwind]

It looks like there are a few modes which aren't defining any file extensions. As I've come to rely on extensions for displaying the correct mode for a given filename, it'd be great if at least those modes that have a unique file extension also have them defined in mode/meta.js.

I'll be researching some modes myself to see if I can find the extensions for it, but any help is appreciated!

Here's the current list of modes that don't define a file extension:

Mode          Mime Type
-----------------------------------------
asterisk      text/x-asterisk
cypher        application/x-cypher-query
django        text/x-django
dockerfile    text/x-dockerfile
gfm           text/x-gfm
http          message/http
javascript    application/ld+json
jinja2        null
mirc          text/mirc
nginx         text/x-nginx-conf
pegjs         null
pig           text/x-pig
rpm           text/x-rpm-changes
sieve         application/sieve
slim          text/x-slim
smartymixed   text/x-smarty
solr          text/x-solr
sql           text/x-mariadb

textile       text/x-textile
tiddlywiki    text/x-tiddlywiki

tornado       text/x-tornado
vbscript      text/vbscript

If you have specific extensions that are missing, file a pull request. Some languages simply don't have extensions associated with them, other are so obscure that none of the people who helped add extensions had a clue what to associate with them.

Okay. One last quesion: The nginx mode for example should only work on a file called nginx.conf. Do you think it would be reasonable to add a filename field instead of ext in this case? Maybe in regex format?

[marijnh]

That's a good point. Supporting matching of full filenames would require us to add another method, something like findModeByFileName, which first scans full-filenames (specified by regexp, I guess), and then calls through to findModeByExtension when it doesn't find anything. Want to submit a pull request?

Yeah, I'll do, it's an interesting topic.
