This package is a Inferno component that wraps the amazing monaco-editor text editor from Microsoft. It is used in VSCode, CodeSandbox and StackBlitz among the others. This simple and lightweight components loads via AMD Require the editor located in the vs folder on your host, and creates a editor in a div wrapper. This project is heavily inspired by the great react-monaco-editor

Plese note that this package hasn't got all the features provided in the react version, but tries to be minimalistic and yet easy to integrate.

Installation

This package can be installed via yarn or npm, tough nowdays yarn is favourited:

yarn add -E @slup/monaco
npm i --save @slup/monaco

Prerequirements

As said in the beginnging this package loads the monaco's core from the vs folder located at the root of your webserver's static hosting. In a typical modern environment with webpack bundling, you're advised to use copy-webpack-plguin

So, once installed this plugin, use it like so:

const CopyPlugin = require('copy-webpack-plugin')

// Later in your webpack's config
plugins: [
  //... Other stuff
    new CopyPlugin([
      {
        from: 'node_modules/monaco-editor/min/vs',
        to: 'vs'
      }
    ])
]
