📚 Monaco Editor for Angular 17+

This library wraps the well-known Monaco Editor for easy use in Angular 17+. Feel free to contribute. Let's make it better!

🎯 Versions

It only supports Angular 17 and above.

⚡ Setup

📦 Install Required Dependencies

First, install the necessary package:

npm i @1xtend/ng-monaco-editor

monaco-editor package will be installed automatically, because it is specified in "dependencies".

📁 Import Monaco Editor Assets

Your application must have access to Monaco Editor assets to work properly. To provide this access, you need to make the following changes to the angular.json file:

{
  "app-name": {
    ...
    "architect": {
      ...
      "build": {
        ...
        "options": {
          ...
          "assets": [
            "src/favicon.ico",
            "src/assets",
            {
              "glob": "**/*",
              "input": "node_modules/monaco-editor/min",
              "output": "assets/monaco-editor/min"
            },
            {
              "glob": "**/*",
              "input": "node_modules/monaco-editor/min-maps",
              "output": "assets/monaco-editor/min-maps"
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

⚙️ Provide config

You need to define and provide an NG_MONACO_EDITOR_CONFIG in your app.config.ts.

1const config: NgMonacoEditorConfig = {
2  /**
3   * Optional.
4   *
5   * Base URL to Monaco Editor assets via AMD. By default, it's "/assets", but you can change the path to assets in the previous step.
6   */
7  baseUrl: "/lib/assets",
8
9  /**
10   * Optional.
11   *
12   * Provide editor default options.
13   */
14  defaultOptions: {
15    theme: "vs-dark",
16    fontSize: 20,
17  },
18
19  /**
20   * Optional.
21   *
22   * This function is called when Monaco is loaded.
23   */
24  onMonacoLoad: () => {
25    /**
26     * You can use it to set various settings.
27     */
28    monaco.languages.typescript.typescriptDefaults.setDiagnosticsOptions({
29      noSyntaxValidation: true,
30      noSemanticValidation: true,
31    });
32
33    console.log("Monaco has been loaded successfully!");
34  },
35
36  /**
37   * Optional.
38   *
39   * The interval for auto re-layout. Defaul value is 100ms.
40   */
41  autoLayoutInterval: 500,
42};
43
44export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
45  providers: [
46    {
47      provide: NG_MONACO_EDITOR_CONFIG,
48      useValue: config,
49    },
50  ],
51};

✨ Usage

For both ng-monaco-editor and ng-monaco-diff-editor, you need to create options. You can use the NgEditorOptions interface.

Basic Example:

1@Component({
2  selector: "my-editors",
3  standalone: true,
4  imports: [MonacoEditorComponent, MonacoDiffEditorComponent],
5})
6export class MyEditor {
7  options: NgEditorOptions = {
8    language: "typescript",
9    theme: "vs-dark",
10  };
11
12  diffOptions: NgEditorOptions = {
13    language: "html",
14  };
15}

1<ng-monaco-editor [options]="options"></ng-monaco-editor>

1<ng-monaco-diff-editor [options]="diffOptions"></ng-monaco-diff-editor>

You can use both Reactive and Template Driven forms to control the editor's value.

Reactive forms example:

1@Component({
2  selector: "my-editor",
3  standalone: true,
4  imports: [MonacoEditorComponent, ReactiveFormsModule],
5})
6export class MyEditor {
7  options: NgEditorOptions = {
8    language: "typescript",
9    theme: "vs-dark",
10  };
11  valueControl = new FormControl("const age: number = 100");
12}

1<ng-monaco-editor [options]="options" [formControl]="valueControl"></ng-monaco-editor>

Template Driven forms example:

1@Component({
2  selector: "my-editor",
3  standalone: true,
4  imports: [MonacoEditorComponent, FormsModule],
5})
6export class MyEditor {
7  options: NgEditorOptions = {
8    language: "typescript",
9    theme: "vs-dark",
10  };
11  value: string = "const age: number = 100";
12}

1<ng-monaco-editor [options]="options" [(ngModel)]="value"></ng-monaco-editor>

Additionally, ng-monaco-diff-editor has an originalValue input to display its original value.

1@Component({
2  selector: "my-editor",
3  standalone: true,
4  imports: [MonacoDiffEditorComponent, FormsModule],
5})
6export class MyEditor {
7  options: NgEditorOptions = {
8    language: "typescript",
9    theme: "vs-dark",
10  };
11  value: string = "const age: number = 100";
12  originalValue: string = "const age: number = 99";
13}

1<ng-monaco-diff-editor [options]="options" [(ngModel)]="value" [originalValue]="originalValue"></ng-monaco-diff-editor>

🎨 Styling

Both ng-monaco-editor and ng-monaco-diff-editor have the same ng-monaco-editor-wrapper class. You can style the component by using ::ng-deep.

1<ng-monaco-editor [options]="options" class="my-editor"></ng-monaco-editor>

1.my-editor ::ng-deep .ng-monaco-editor-wrapper {
2  display: block;
3  width: 50%;
4  border: 1px solid red;
5}

Also, the editors have their own classes like ng-monaco-editor and ng-monaco-diff-editor.
