Setup

Installation

Install from npm repository:

npm install monaco-editor ngx-monaco-editor-v2 --save

Breaking change from v10, is to use monaco-editor next to ngx-monaco-editor-v2 in your package.json file.

For angular version 6 use v6.x.x

npm install ngx-monaco-editor-v2@6.0.0 --save

Add the glob to assets in angular.json

1{
2  "apps": [
3    {
4      "assets": [
5      { "glob": "**/*", "input": "node_modules/monaco-editor", "output": "/assets/monaco/" }
6      ],
7      ...
8    }
9    ...
10  ],
11  ...
12}

For Angular 6 and below, add the glob to assets in .angular-cli.json schema - projects.[project-name].architect.build (to make monaco-editor lib available to the app):

1{
2  "options":{
3        {"assets": [
4          { "glob": "**/*", "input": "node_modules/ngx-monaco-editor/assets/monaco", "output": "./assets/monaco/" }
5
6        ],
7        ...
8        }
9    ...
10    },
11  ...
12}

Sample

Include MonacoEditorModule in Main Module and Feature Modules where you want to use the editor component.(eg: app.module.ts):

1import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
2import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
3import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
4
5import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
6import { MonacoEditorModule } from 'ngx-monaco-editor-v2';
7
8@NgModule({
9  declarations: [
10    AppComponent
11  ],
12  imports: [
13    BrowserModule,
14    FormsModule,
15    MonacoEditorModule.forRoot() // use forRoot() in main app module only.
16  ],
17  providers: [],
18  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
19})
20export class AppModule {
21}

Create Editor options in component.(eg: app.component.ts)

1import { Component } from '@angular/core';
2
3@Component({
4  selector: 'app-root',
5  templateUrl: './app.component.html'
6})
7export class AppComponent {
8  editorOptions = {theme: 'vs-dark', language: 'javascript'};
9  code: string= 'function x() {\nconsole.log("Hello world!");\n}';
10}

Include editor in html with options and ngModel bindings.(eg: app.component.html)

1<ngx-monaco-editor [options]="editorOptions" [(ngModel)]="code"></ngx-monaco-editor>

Include diff-editor in html with options.(eg: app.component.html)

1<ngx-monaco-diff-editor [options]="options" [originalModel]="originalModel" [modifiedModel]="modifiedModel"></ngx-monaco-diff-editor>

1import { Component } from '@angular/core';
2import { DiffEditorModel } from 'ngx-monaco-editor';
3
4@Component({
5  selector: 'app-root',
6  templateUrl: './app.component.html'
7})
8export class AppComponent {
9  options = {
10    theme: 'vs-dark'
11  };
12  originalModel: DiffEditorModel = {
13    code: 'heLLo world!',
14    language: 'text/plain'
15  };
16
17  modifiedModel: DiffEditorModel = {
18    code: 'hello orlando!',
19    language: 'text/plain'
20  };
21}

Styling

To match height of container element add height: 100% and wrap in container

1<div style="height: 500px">
2    <ngx-monaco-editor style="height: 100%" [options]="editorOptions" [(ngModel)]="code"></ngx-monaco-editor>
3</div>

Add class to editor tag. (eg. class="my-code-editor")

1<ngx-monaco-editor class="my-code-editor" [options]="editorOptions" [(ngModel)]="code"></ngx-monaco-editor>

Add styling in css/scss file:

1.my-code-editor {
2  .editor-container {
3    height: calc(100vh - 100px);
4  }
5}

Set automaticLayout option to adjust editor size dynamically. Recommended when using in modal dialog or tabs where editor is not visible initially.

Events

Output event (onInit) expose editor instance that can be used for performing custom operations on the editor.

1<ngx-monaco-editor [options]="editorOptions" [(ngModel)]="code" (onInit)="onInit($event)"></ngx-monaco-editor>

1export class AppComponent {
2  editorOptions = {theme: 'vs-dark', language: 'javascript'};
3  code: string= 'function x() {\nconsole.log("Hello world!");\n}';
4  onInit(editor) {
5      let line = editor.getPosition();
6      console.log(line);
7    }
8}

Configurations

forRoot() method of MonacoEditorModule accepts config of type NgxMonacoEditorConfig.

1import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
2import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
3import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
4
5import { MonacoEditorModule, NgxMonacoEditorConfig } from 'ngx-monaco-editor';
6import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
7
8const monacoConfig: NgxMonacoEditorConfig = {
9  baseUrl: 'app-name/assets', // configure base path for monaco editor. Starting with version 8.0.0 it defaults to './assets'. Previous releases default to '/assets'
10  defaultOptions: { scrollBeyondLastLine: false }, // pass default options to be used
11  onMonacoLoad: () => { console.log((<any>window).monaco); } // here monaco object will be available as window.monaco use this function to extend monaco editor functionalities.
12};
13
14@NgModule({
15  declarations: [
16    AppComponent
17  ],
18  imports: [
19    BrowserModule,
20    FormsModule,
21    MonacoEditorModule.forRoot(monacoConfig)
22  ],
23  providers: [],
24  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
25})
26export class AppModule {
27}

Configure JSON Defaults

onMonacoLoad property of NgxMonacoEditorConfig can be used to configure JSON default.

1import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
2import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
3import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
4
5import { MonacoEditorModule, NgxMonacoEditorConfig } from 'ngx-monaco-editor';
6import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
7
8export function onMonacoLoad() {
9
10  console.log((window as any).monaco);
11
12  const uri = monaco.Uri.parse('a://b/foo.json');
13  monaco.languages.json.jsonDefaults.setDiagnosticsOptions({
14    validate: true,
15    schemas: [{
16      uri: 'http://myserver/foo-schema.json',
17      fileMatch: [uri.toString()],
18      schema: {
19        type: 'object',
20        properties: {
21          p1: {
22            enum: ['v1', 'v2']
23          },
24          p2: {
25            $ref: 'http://myserver/bar-schema.json'
26          }
27        }
28      }
29    }, {
30      uri: 'http://myserver/bar-schema.json',
31      fileMatch: [uri.toString()],
32      schema: {
33        type: 'object',
34        properties: {
35          q1: {
36            enum: ['x1', 'x2']
37          }
38        }
39      }
40    }]
41  });
42
43}
44
45const monacoConfig: NgxMonacoEditorConfig = {
46  baseUrl: 'assets',
47  defaultOptions: { scrollBeyondLastLine: false },
48  onMonacoLoad
49};
50
51@NgModule({
52  declarations: [
53    AppComponent
54  ],
55  imports: [
56    BrowserModule,
57    FormsModule,
58    MonacoEditorModule.forRoot(monacoConfig)
59  ],
60  providers: [],
61  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
62})
63export class AppModule {
64}

Now pass model config of type NgxEditorModel to Editor Component

1@Component({
2  selector: 'app-root',
3  template: `<ngx-monaco-editor [options]="options" [model]="model"></ngx-monaco-editor>`,
4  styles: []
5})
6export class AppComponent {
7  options = {
8    theme: 'vs-dark'
9  };
10  
11  jsonCode = [
12    '{',
13    '    "p1": "v3",',
14    '    "p2": false',
15    '}'
16  ].join('\n');
17
18  model: NgxEditorModel = {
19    value: this.jsonCode,
20    language: 'json',
21    uri: monaco.Uri.parse('a://b/foo.json')
22  };
23}
