monaco-typescript-project-util v0.1.2

typescript-project-monaco-editor-browser-utils

Easy to use APIs and tools to quickly implement and launch a TypeScript project editor based on monaco-editor, 100% in the browser.

Features and objectives:

• very simple and agnostic Project API (monaco doesn't have)
• tools to handle typescript language service API , load tsconfig, libraries, types from nopkg cdn, navigation between files, etc
• framework to leverage monaco-editor loading, both 100% local or from cdn
• minimal devtools to build production
• 100% static pages running in the browser.
• basic widgets to represent file tree, workbench, actions, etc
• this is not about using/ implementing language services, etc in the browser, but just leveraging monaco-typescript so is easier to implement TypeScript Project editors in the browsers
• objective : move / the things currently on src/common to here. remove non necessary dependencies
• objective : should be able to use it in typescript-compiler-playground - while I cannot run ts-simple-ast in the browser I can still develop the entire proect in the broser an run it in the server.

Usage

should be very simple to generate a working project editor like this:

npm install typescript-project-monaco-editor-browser-utils
import ProjectEditor from 'typescript-project-monaco-editor-browser-utils'
new ProjectEditor({simple: config, or: nothing})
< script src="bundle.js">
http-server static && firefox localhost:8080

Monaco-editor loading:

2 modalities : we could load everything from cdn (very lightweight html + bundle.js or we coudl havemost of the files in localhost (probably will require n extra step of running a script node companion-script --output static that basically copy files from node_modules to static folder

candombed - based on typescript-project-monaco-editor-browser-utils, more end-user product for a "project - editor"

• the experience should be similar as previous but this time the editor is opinionated and prettier. check dependencies and @types using https://data.jsdelivr.com/v1/package/npm/@types/node or unpkg for example - given dependency shelljs@0.0.7 we first try https://data.jsdelivr.com/v1/package/npm/@types/shell@0.0.7 and if not found we fetch all deps https://data.jsdelivr.com/v1/package/npm/@types/shell and get the latest or the closest one - ake a library for this.

TODO

• export the 'monaco' namespace so users doesn't have to install it and also we amke sure they use the same version as us.
• provide html loader snippets for : external CDN and local node_modules. Also using AMD and ESM bundled monacos
• an example using monaco loader local - an example uusing monaco loaders getString to generate the html as template at compile-time.
• and example u sing listfile (treeview)
• umd distro so existing apps that doesnt use browserify/typescript can use me. and an example of this.
