extensions-langs no longer has language names. It uses file extensions instead

[Gomes117]

In version < 4.25 I could select language by name. I no longer can do that as langs has changed to file extensions.

Before:

import {langs} from "@uiw/codemirror-extensions-langs";
python = langs.python()

Now

import {langs} from "@uiw/codemirror-extensions-langs";
python = langs.py()

It would be nice if that functionality can be brought back. You can export langs and exts to let developers use whatever fits their need best.

@Gomes117 This has been updated — both options are now supported.

You can use either the full language name or the file extension:

langs.python()
langs.py()

This should give developers flexibility depending on their preference or use case 👍

Thank you for the quick response and update but I was thinking generally for all supported languages, not python specifically. I am sorry if that wasn't clear.

Currently langs is generated from https://github.com/codemirror/language-data/blob/main/src/language-data.ts. Specifically we are looking at extensions. We could also map name and alias.
