Rainbow Bracket Issue

[EmranMR]

Hi, for some reason when the rainbow brackets are toggled on in Nova preference, the brackets never match in blade syntax.

to reproduce:

• preferences -> editor -> tick "use rainbow brackets"
• then open any blade file and for example type {} or {{}

}

thanks

A quick fix:

• open the extension library (Menu: Extensions → Extension Library)
• right click on Blade, select Show in Finder
• open Syntaxes/Blade.xml and
• change line 37 to <pair open="{" close="}" /> (which should be changing {{ and }} to { and })
• restart Nova

There you go :)

Thanks @benwittorf , but in my case, did not work...

@benwittorf Thanks for the reply!!

Thanks @benwittorf , but in my case, did not work...

The hack works. I would say, once you save the file, and restart nova, also tick and untick the extension in the extension menu, this will disable and re-parse the extension again. If not leave a comment here and we debug!

I am not sure if this project is active but I will do a pull request for this. as well as some other minor issues. If not I might fork and we take it from there. The API is there to make a super rich Laravel extension not just for syntax but other things as well. ✊ Just have to find the time! 😅

All for it! In the meantime, I just saw this PR. Haven't tested it yet, though.

@EmranMR I appreciate the effort, but it doesn't work for me Screenshot
As you can see here, the chamge in the blade file is already done.
Thanks

It should be single brackets, like this:

<pair open="{" close="}" />

Hope this helps.

HI @benwittorf ... Thanks but the problem persist.

[EmranMR]

Hi @juancarlosso and @benwittorf I finally managed to put something together, it was a hell of a challenge esp the tree-sitter-blade, god damn nightmare 😅 please try Laravel Suit extension and raise issue on that repo for features and problems

This issue is fully resolved by that extension. Unfortunately you can not have both {{ as the same colour due to shortcomings by Nova but was already reported in their forum. But at least you get a symmetrical colouring if you use rainbow brackets. Feel free to add your +1 or comment there to push them to support multiple characters 👀
