# BareCode
A modular code editor built with **C++17**, **Qt6**, and **CMake**.
Designed to compile cleanly on **Linux** and **Windows**.
---
## Features (v1.0)
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Project tree | Left panel — shows only the selected project directory |
| Tabbed editor | Open multiple files simultaneously; tabs are movable and closable |
| Syntax highlighting | C / C++ (extensible via `HighlighterFactory`) |
| Line numbers | Painted in a dedicated gutter |
| Auto-indent | Preserves indentation level on Enter |
| Tab → spaces | Configurable; jumps to next tab stop |
| Persistent settings | Window geometry, font, tab size, last project (INI file) |

## Project Structure
```
BareCode/
├── CMakeLists.txt # Top-level build
├── main.cpp

├── editor/ # EditorPanel, EditorTab, CodeEditor, LineNumberArea

```
Each subdirectory compiles into its own **static library**, keeping modules independent.

## Building
### Prerequisites
- CMake ≥ 3.16
- Qt6 (Widgets module)
- A C++17-capable compiler (GCC, Clang, MSVC)
### Linux
```bash
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build -j$(nproc)
./build/BareCode
```
### Windows (Visual Studio)
```bat
cmake -B build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64
cmake --build build --config Release
build\Release\BareCode.exe
```
### Windows (MinGW)
```bat
cmake -B build -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build
build\BareCode.exe
```

## Extending BareCode
### Adding a new syntax highlighter
1. Create a subclass of `SyntaxHighlighter` in `src/highlighter/`.
2. Populate `m_rules` in the constructor (see `CppHighlighter` as a template).
3. Register the file extension(s) in `HighlighterFactory.cpp`.
No other files need to change.
### Adding a new panel / plugin
1. Implement the `IPlugin` interface from `src/core/IPlugin.h`.
2. Create a `QWidget`-derived class for the UI.
3. Instantiate and wire it up in `MainWindow`.

## Code Style
All code uses **Allman brace style** and C++17 throughout.
