Monaco editor wrapper uses and configures monaco-vscode-api for you
It also includes some tools allowing to add some missing features to monaco-editor:

npm install @codingame/monaco-editor-wrapperYou need to call the exposed initialize function, and wait for the returned promise.
You will then be able to interact with the monaco-editor api (by importing monaco-editor) OR the VSCode api (by importing vscode)
Instead of using monaco.editor.createModel, it is recommended to use monaco.editor.createModelReference to create models.
It makes it possible for the VSCode service to reference that file by it's reference without breaking (for instance when following file links in source code using LSP).
By default, only a minimal set of features is registered (vscode extensions, editor/model services, languages, textmate, dialogs, configuration/keybindings, snippets, accessibility...)
There are some optional features that can be enabled by importing a specific export:
@codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper/features/extensionHostWorkerenables the worker extension host which allows to run VSCode extensions@codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper/features/notificationsenables the VSCode notifications instead of logging into the console@codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper/features/workbenchallows to use the full VSCode workbench@codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper/features/typescriptStandaloneenables the monaco standalone typescript language feature worker
Those feature can be used if the workbench feature is enabled:
@codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper/features/viewPanelsenables a few panels (timeline, outline, output, markers, explorer)@codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper/features/searchenables the search panel@codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper/features/extensionGalleryenables the extension gallery panel and the possibility to install extensions from the marketplace@codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper/features/terminalenables the terminal panel@codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper/features/testingenables the testing panels
By default, monaco-editor contains worker to achieve IntelliSense in CSS, SCSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON and HTML.
It's not possible to use them with this lib. However they can be replaced by the corresponding VSCode extension.
To enable them, install and import for following packages:
- JSON:
import '@codingame/monaco-vscode-json-language-features-default-extension' - JavaScript/TypeScript:
import '@codingame/monaco-vscode-typescript-language-features-default-extension' - CSS/SCSS:
import '@codingame/monaco-vscode-css-language-features-default-extension' - HTML:
import '@codingame/monaco-vscode-html-language-features-default-extension'
You also need to import @codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper/features/extensionHostWorker to allows the VSCode extensions to run in a webworker.
