ScopeDescriptor

Wraps an Array of Strings. The Array describes a path from the root of the syntax tree to a token including all scope names for the entire path.

Methods that take a ScopeDescriptor will also accept an Array of String scope names e.g. ['.source.js'].

You can use ScopeDescriptors to get language-specific config settings via Config::get.

You should not need to create a ScopeDescriptor directly.

• TextEditor::getRootScopeDescriptor to get the language's descriptor.
• TextEditor::scopeDescriptorForBufferPosition to get the descriptor at a specific position in the buffer.
• Cursor::getScopeDescriptor to get a cursor's descriptor based on position.

See the scopes and scope descriptor guide for more information.
