Monaco is the editor that powers VS Code. The y-monaco extension makes it collaborative.
Setup
import * as Y from 'yjs'
import { WebrtcProvider } from 'y-webrtc'
import { MonacoBinding } from 'y-monaco'
const ydoc = new Y.Doc()
const provider = new WebrtcProvider('monaco', ydoc)
const type = ydoc.getText('monaco')
// There are some steps missing to initialize the editor
// The editor requires a webpack build-step
// See the complete example:
// https://github.com/yjs/yjs-demos/blob/master/monaco/monaco.js
const editor = monaco.editor.create(
document.getElementById('monaco-editor'),
{
value: '',
language: 'javascript',
theme: 'vs-dark'
}
)
const monacoBinding = new MonacoBinding(
type,
editor.getModel(),
new Set([editor]),
provider.awareness
)
npm i monaco-editor yjs y-monaco
Live Demo
Unfortunately, we can't show a live-code example on this website because the editor requires a build-step that online-IDEs don't support. Maybe you can give it a try? Anyway, we still have a live demo available on a different website (simply open it in two different tabs).
Demo Code
The yjs-demos repository contains several demos. Simply download the repository you are interested in (e.g. the monaco folder) and run npm install && npm start to run the demo.
