------------------------------------
Summary: Syntax highlighting/multiline support for VDU in Fauxton
Key: COUCHDB-3281
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-3281
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation, Fauxton
Reporter: Gary Daigle
As a completely new user to CouchDB and Fauxton, I find this to be a massive
usability issue. I was attempting to follow the guide section on validation and
could not get Fauxton to accept my JSON as valid.
After reaching out on IRC, I found that I have to reduce all newlines from my
Javascript VDU functions, and escape all quotes.
Multiline support and syntax highlighting works perfectly in Fauxton for view
definitions, so why doesn't validation (also important) get the same treatment?
I find it absurd that the community has simply accepted the answer of "use a
third party tool". This "solution" creates friction and confusion for new
users, and should be considered unacceptable.
