Installation

Setup

Due to an known issue in Monaco Editor version 0.20.0 https://github.com/microsoft/monaco-editor/issues/1842 regarding errors arising when quickly disposing editor instances, utilize the 0.17.1 version of monaco-editor.

We utilize the ESM build of the Monaco Editor. To include this build, you must utilize custom webpack. See https://github.com/Microsoft/monaco-editor/blob/master/docs/integrate-esm.md for more information.

Install the webpack custom builder.

npm install --save-dev @angular-builders/custom-webpack

Install the Monaco Editor webpack extension plugin.

npm install --save-dev monaco-editor-webpack-plugin

Create a webpack config file utilizing the Monaco Editor webpack plugin. Languages and features can be included/excluded to control the resulting image size.

const MonacoWebpackPlugin = require('monaco-editor-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  // target should only be specified when including component in Electron app
  target: 'electron-renderer',
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/,
        use: ['style-loader'],
      },
      {
        test: /\.ttf$/,
        use: ['file-loader'],
      },
    ],
  },
  plugins: [
    new MonacoWebpackPlugin({
      languages: ['css', 'html', 'javascript', 'sql', 'typescript'],
      features: ['contextmenu', 'clipboard', 'find'],
    }),
  ],
};

Note: If you are including this component in an Electron application, define the electron-renderer target. See Electron example here: https://github.com/Teradata/covalent-electron/blob/main/monaco-webpack.config.js

Reference the webpack file in your angular.json build config.
