• NPM workspace and vite - Read dependency build output (d.ts file)

  So lets say the project consists of two packages Lib and App in which Lib is a library and App is the frontend app which depends on Lib. Now I want to display a monaco powered code editor in App which has has access to all types of Lib. This means that I have to somehow read the *.d.ts file of Lib as a string to set it as "extra lib" for monaco. Source: 5 months ago

• 🔥✍️ Notion-like Experience for Your GitHub Content

  You’ll see a Monaco Editor-powered change editor. The content incoming from the Git repo is on the left, while the current content in Vrite is on the right. You can make changes in the editor on the right - this will ultimately become the result content. Once you’re done, click Resolve. If there are no other conflicts, you should now be able to pull the latest changes. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• Vrite Editor: Open-Source WYSIWYG Markdown Editor

  By referencing the ProseMirror docs, forwarding the editor state back and forth, and adjusting the layout, I managed to integrate Monaco Editor — the web editor extracted from VS Code — together with Prettier (for code formatting) right into the Vrite Editor (I know, that’s a lot of editors in one place 😅). - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

  Its an apple monospaced font I believe, previously it's default. But the font has nothing to do with the editor. And there's no way any software can confuse between a font and an editor. Source: 10 months ago

• Updating Monaco broke Fastly Fiddle: here's how I solved it with useCallback in React

  In our case, Monaco, the code editor component, was memoizing a function, invoking an outdated version of it, and as a result we were never able to tell that a save operation was already in progress, so we didn't cancel the existing operation, and cued up a new one. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• How to add a placeholder to Monaco editor

  I was playing around with the Monaco editor and I wanted to add a placeholder to it. Just like the placeholder in VSCode.

• Gitlab Web IDE Beta, Powered by Visual Studio Code

  GitLab team member here: The existing WebIDE was based on Monaco (https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/), which allowed GitLab users to make small changes & quick fixes. Based on feedback from users, more features were needed for the use of WebIDE to go beyond just small changes, features Monaco doesn't offer. That is why we are going in this direction.

• Fastly fiddle turns 5 with a bunch of new features

  Fiddle is a ReactJS application, and uses the excellent Monaco IDE as the code editor, but this makes it pretty heavy. When we first shipped embedded fiddles, the IFRAME in which the fiddle rendered would load not just React but the whole Monaco IDE (around 2MB of JavaScript!), which would then be set to read-only, resulting in the world's most bloated code highlighting library 🤦. Not great when there's a fiddle... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
