Installation

npm install @codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper

Usage

Simple usage

You need to call the exposed initialize function, and wait for the returned promise.

You will then be able to interact with the monaco-editor api (by importing monaco-editor) OR the VSCode api (by importing vscode)

Model creation

Instead of using monaco.editor.createModel, it is recommended to use monaco.editor.createModelReference to create models.

It makes it possible for the VSCode service to reference that file by it's reference without breaking (for instance when following file links in source code using LSP).

Optional features

By default, only a minimal set of features is registered (vscode extensions, editor/model services, languages, textmate, dialogs, configuration/keybindings, snippets, accessibility...)

There are some optional features that can be enabled by importing a specific export:

• @codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper/features/extensionHostWorker enables the worker extension host which allows to run VSCode extensions
• @codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper/features/notifications enables the VSCode notifications instead of logging into the console
• @codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper/features/workbench allows to use the full VSCode workbench
• @codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper/features/typescriptStandalone enables the monaco standalone typescript language feature worker

Those feature can be used if the workbench feature is enabled:

• @codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper/features/viewPanels enables a few panels (timeline, outline, output, markers, explorer)
• @codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper/features/search enables the search panel
• @codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper/features/extensionGallery enables the extension gallery panel and the possibility to install extensions from the marketplace
• @codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper/features/terminal enables the terminal panel
• @codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper/features/testing enables the testing panels

Embed language IntelliSense

By default, monaco-editor contains worker to achieve IntelliSense in CSS, SCSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON and HTML.

It's not possible to use them with this lib. However they can be replaced by the corresponding VSCode extension.

To enable them, install and import for following packages:

• JSON: import '@codingame/monaco-vscode-json-language-features-default-extension'
• JavaScript/TypeScript: import '@codingame/monaco-vscode-typescript-language-features-default-extension'
• CSS/SCSS: import '@codingame/monaco-vscode-css-language-features-default-extension'
• HTML: import '@codingame/monaco-vscode-html-language-features-default-extension'

You also need to import @codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper/features/extensionHostWorker to allows the VSCode extensions to run in a webworker.

Additional apis
