Monaco Editor Worker Support Package

This package supplies all monaco-editor workers as module or classic workers (bundled with vite/rollup) and it contains a utility function that applies them to MonacoEnvironment:

Workers are now exported in the packages.json. This could be handy for re-bundling.

Additional exports:

• ./workers/module/editor (Editor Module Worker)
• ./workers/module/ts (TypeScript/JavaScript Module Worker)
• ./workers/module/html (HTML Module Worker)
• ./workers/module/css (CSS Module Worker)
• ./workers/module/json (JSON Module Worker)
• ./workers/classic/editor (Editor Classic/Firefox compatible Worker)
• ./workers/classic/ts (TypeScript/JavaScript Classic/Firefox compatible Worker)
• ./workers/classic/html (HTML Classic/Firefox compatible Worker)
• ./workers/classic/css (CSS Classic/Firefox compatible Worker)
• ./workers/classic/json (JSON Classic/Firefox compatible Worker)

import { buildWorkerDefinition } from "monaco-editor-workers";

// supply path to workers path, the basePath and tell if module (true) or classic (false) workers shall be used.
// Classic workers are still required by Firefox.
buildWorkerDefinition('./node_modules/monaco-editor-workers/dist/workers', import.meta.url, false);

The version of this package is aligned with the version of monaco-editor.

Getting Started

We recommend using Volta to ensure your node & npm are on known good versions.

If you have node.js LTS available, then from the root of the project run:

npm i
npm run build

If you get an error with npm i regarding tree-mending, you can run npm ci to clean things up from previous installations and continue.

Afterwards, launch the Vite development server:

npm run dev

You can find one example (manual human testing) here index.html. They can be used once Vite is running. You can reach it once started on http://localhost:5173.
