Error Stripe Provider How To

Introduction

First of all, decide which information should be shown in the Error Stripe:

• Error-like annotation, for example compile errors, warnings, etc.
• Up-to-date status used to switch off the global status if the file is currently not parsed.

Error Like Annotation

Extend the particular annotation type with severity, custom_sidebar_color and priority attributes as described in the Editor API.

Up-to-date Status

To influence the global status type (up-to-date/processing/dirty), implement UpToDateStatusProvider returning the UpToDateStatus and firing change events, and UpToDateStatusProviderFactory.
