monaco-vue

Use monaco-editor loaded from CDN in Vue 2&3, no need to bundling.

Why

The monaco-editor doesn't support ESM very well, which results in large files when the code is bundled.

But the official team has written a loader to lazy load files of the editor remotely, so we can load the files from a CDN to use it.

If you still want to import monaco-editor files from node_modules and bundle them into your code (without using remote loading), you will need to use a bundling tool. See here.

Installation

npm i @guolao/vue-monaco-editor

Vue <= 2.6.14 requires @vue/composition-api to be installed.

npm i @guolao/vue-monaco-editor @vue/composition-api

Don't forget to register the @vue/composition-api plugin!

import Vue from 'vue'
import VueCompositionAPI from '@vue/composition-api'

Vue.use(VueCompositionAPI)

Of course, you can also use unpkg.

Usage

Global Registration

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import { install as VueMonacoEditorPlugin } from '@guolao/vue-monaco-editor'

const app = createApp(App)
app.use(VueMonacoEditorPlugin, {
  paths: {
    // You can change the CDN config to load other versions
    vs: 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/min/vs'
  },
})

Local Registration

// main.ts
import { loader } from '@guolao/vue-monaco-editor'
loader.config({
  paths: {
    vs: 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/min/vs',
  },
})

// editor.vue
import { VueMonacoEditor } from '@guolao/vue-monaco-editor'
export default {
  components: { VueMonacoEditor },
}

And then, use it.

Editor

<template>
  <vue-monaco-editor
    v-model:value="code"
    theme="vs-dark"
    :options="MONACO_EDITOR_OPTIONS"
    @mount="handleMount"
  />
</template>

<script lang="ts" setup>
import { ref, shallowRef } from 'vue'

const MONACO_EDITOR_OPTIONS = {
  automaticLayout: true,
  formatOnType: true,
  formatOnPaste: true,
}

const code = ref('// some code...')
const editor = shallowRef()
const handleMount = editorInstance => (editor.value = editorInstance)

// your action
function formatCode() {
  editor.value?.getAction('editor.action.formatDocument').run()
}
</script>

Diff Editor

<template>
  <vue-monaco-diff-editor
    theme="vs-dark"
    original="// the original code"
    modified="// the modified code"
    language="javascript"
    :options="OPTIONS"
    @mount="handleMount"
  />
</template>

<script lang="ts" setup>
import { ref, shallowRef } from 'vue'

const OPTIONS = {
  automaticLayout: true,
  formatOnType: true,
  formatOnPaste: true,
  readOnly: true,
}

const diffEditor = shallowRef()
const handleMount = diffEditorInstance => (diffEditor.value = diffEditorInstance)

// get the original value
function getOriginalValue() {
  return diffEditor.value.getOriginalEditor().getValue()
}

// get the modified value
function getModifiedValue() {
  return diffEditor.value.getModifiedEditor().getValue()
}
</script>

Hooks

useMonaco use @monaco-editor/loader to load monaco-editor from the CDN.

<template>
  <div ref="containerRef"></div>
</template>

<script lang="ts" setup>
import { ref, onUnmounted, watchEffect, nextTick } from 'vue'
import { useMonaco } from '@guolao/vue-monaco-editor'

const containerRef = ref()
const { monacoRef, unload } = useMonaco()

// watch once
const stop = watchEffect(() => {
  if (monacoRef.value && containerRef.value) {
    nextTick(() => stop())
    monacoRef.value.editor.create(containerRef.value, { ... })
  }
})

/*
  When the component will be unmount,
  If the monaco instance is not successfully loaded,
  You need to manually unload.
*/
onUnmounted(() => !monacoRef.value && unload())
</script>

CDN

vue-monaco-editor use @monaco-editor/loader to load the monaco-editor from the CDN(the loading process of loader is asynchronous).

The configuration of loader is global, only to be configured once.

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import { install as VueMonacoEditorPlugin } from '@guolao/vue-monaco-editor'

const app = createApp(App)
app.use(VueMonacoEditorPlugin, {
  paths: {
    // You can change the CDN config to load other versions
    vs: 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/min/vs'
  },
})
import { loader } from "@guolao/vue-monaco-editor"

// loaded from CDN
loader.config({
  paths: {
    vs: 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/min/vs'
  },
})

// configurable for different languages
loader.config({ "vs/nls": { availableLanguages: { "*": "de" } } })

// or
loader.config({
  paths: {
    vs: "...",
  },
  "vs/nls" : {
    availableLanguages: {
      "*": "de",
    },
  },
})

NPM Package

If you still want to import monaco-editor files from node_modules and bundle them into your code (without using remote loading), you will need to use a bundling tool.

import * as monaco from "monaco-editor"
import { loader } from "@guolao/vue-monaco-editor"

// loaded monaco-editor from `node_modules`
loader.config({ monaco })

Vite

If you are using vite, you need to do this (see #1791 (comment) for details).

import { loader } from "@guolao/vue-monaco-editor"

import * as monaco from "monaco-editor"
import editorWorker from "monaco-editor/esm/vs/editor/editor.worker?worker"
import jsonWorker from "monaco-editor/esm/vs/language/json/json.worker?worker"
import cssWorker from "monaco-editor/esm/vs/language/css/css.worker?worker"
import htmlWorker from "monaco-editor/esm/vs/language/html/html.worker?worker"
import tsWorker from "monaco-editor/esm/vs/language/typescript/ts.worker?worker"

self.MonacoEnvironment = {
  getWorker(_, label) {
    if (label === "json") {
      return new jsonWorker()
    }
    if (label === "css" || label === "scss" || label === "less") {
      return new cssWorker()
    }
    if (label === "html" || label === "handlebars" || label === "razor") {
      return new htmlWorker()
    }
    if (label === "typescript" || label === "javascript") {
      return new tsWorker()
    }
    return new editorWorker()
  }
}

loader.config({ monaco })
