monaco-editor-wrapper

Monaco Editor and Monaco Languageclient Wrapper

This packages provides a wrapped monaco-editor with or without language support (main package export). The monaco-languageclient can be activated to connect to a language server either via jsonrpc over a websocket to an external server process or via language server protocol for browser where the language server runs in a web worker.

CHANGELOG

All changes are noted in the CHANGELOG.

Getting Started

This is npm package is part of the monaco-languageclient mono repo. Please follow the main repositories instructions to get started with local development.

Configuration

With release >2.0.0, the configuration approach is completely revised.

The UserConfig now contains everything and is passed to the start function of the wrapper along with the HTML element monaco-editor is bound to.

@codingame/monaco-vscode-api implements the VSCode api and redirects calls to monaco-editor. It allows to add serivccs that are usually only available in VSCode and not with pure monaco-editor. UserConfig allows two possible configuration modes:

• Classic: Configure monaco-editor as you would when using it directly, see
• Extended: Configure monaco-editor like a VSCode extension, see

This is the list of services defined by @codingame/monaco-vscode-api. The following services are enabled by default in both editor modes:

• layout
• environment
• extension
• files
• quickAccess
• languages
• model
• configuration

Extended mode adds the following and thereby disables monarch grammars:

• theme
• textmate

If you want any further services than the ones initialized by default, you should use the extended mode as some service (like theme and textmate) are incompatible with the classic mode.

Monarch grammars and themes can only be used in classic mode and textmate grammars and themes can only be used in extended mode.

Usage

Monaco Editor with TypeScript language support in web worker and relying on classic mode:

import '@codingame/monaco-vscode-python-default-extension';
import { MonacoEditorLanguageClientWrapper, WrapperConfig } from 'monaco-editor-wrapper';

// no top-level await
const run = async () => {
  const wrapper = new MonacoEditorLanguageClientWrapper();
  const wrapperConfig: WrapperConfig = {
    $type: 'extendend',
    htmlContainer: document.getElementById('monaco-editor-root')!,
    editorAppConfig: {
      codeResources: {
        main: {
          text: 'print("Hello, World!")',
          uri: '/workspace/hello.py'
        }
      }
    }
  };

  await wrapper.initAndStart(wrapperConfig);
}
