Usage

NEW with v8: Use monaco-vscode-editor-api package instead of monaco-editor

Since version 2 (see Important Project Changes) of this library we rely on @codingame/monaco-vscode-api to supply the VSCode API. It evolved substantially since then and thesedays allows to use many vscode only services with monaco-editor. With v6 and v7 we used a treemended version of monaco-editor which brought back monaco-editor code that was removed during bundling/threeshaking. This left users with the need to define overrides / resolution which was problematic. Therefore monaco-vscode-editor-api is now used and installed as an alias to monaco-editor because it provides the same api as the official monaco-editor, but no longer has the drawbacks of the treemended version.

Using services and extra packages from @codingame/monaco-vscode-api

The bespoke projects not only supplies the api, but it provides 100+ packages with additional services, default extensions and language packs. By default when initalizing monaco-languageclient via the required initServices the following services are always loaded:

• languages and model services (always added by monaco-languagclient)
• layout, environment, extension, files and quickAccess (always added by monaco-vscode-api)

Please check the following link for information about all services supplied by @codingame/monaco-vscode-api.

textmate and monarch

If you use the textmate or theme services you are able to load textmate based grammars and theme definitions from vscode:

import getThemeServiceOverride from '@codingame/monaco-vscode-theme-service-override';
import getTextmateServiceOverride from '@codingame/monaco-vscode-textmate-service-override';

Once you those services you can no longer make use of monarch based grammars and themes.
