cd your_project_root/web
mkdir vendor && cd vendor
wget https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace-builds/archive/v1.2.6.tar.gz
tar -xvf v1.2.6.tar.gz
mv ace-builds-1.2.6 ace
rm v1.2.6.tar.gz

use Norzechowicz\AceEditorBundle\Form\Extension\AceEditor\Type\AceEditorType;

/* @var $builder \Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface */
$builder->add('description', AceEditorType::class, array(
    'wrapper_attr' => array(), // aceeditor wrapper html attributes.
    'width' => '100%',
    'height' => 250,
    'font_size' => 12,
    'mode' => 'ace/mode/html', // every single default mode must have ace/mode/* prefix
    'theme' => 'ace/theme/monokai', // every single default theme must have ace/theme/* prefix
    'tab_size' => null,
    'read_only' => null,
    'use_soft_tabs' => null,
    'use_wrap_mode' => null,
    'show_print_margin' => null,
    'show_invisibles' => null,
    'highlight_active_line' => null,
    'options_enable_basic_autocompletion' => true,
    'options_enable_live_autocompletion' => true,
    'options_enable_snippets' => false
    'keyboard_handler' => null
));

Above code will create textarea element that will be replaced with ace editor instance. Textarea value is updated on every single change in ace editor.

Configuration

This section is optional, you dont need to configure anything and the form type will still work perfectly fine

Default configuration:

# app/config/config.yml

norzechowicz_ace_editor:
    base_path: "vendor/ace" # notice! this is starting from "your_project_root/web"!
    autoinclude: true
    debug: false # sources not minified, based on kernel.debug but it can force it
    noconflict: true # uses ace.require instead of require

You can also include Ace editor directly from a location that follow the same directory layout than https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace-builds, all you need to do is setting base_path option:

norzechowicz_ace_editor:
    base_path: "http://rawgithub.com/ajaxorg/ace-builds/master"
