CsWinRT VS Monaco Editor

https://github.com/microsoft/CsWinRT (105)

You can try to make use of CsWinRT, to access Windows Runtime APIs from Win32 side.

It only uses WinMD as the format for metadata input for code generation. The output for C# is still a bunch of P/Invoke declarations (using Roslyn source generators).

By the way, .NET is also retiring the ability to use WinMD directly via runtime projection, in favor of code generation: https://github.com/microsoft/CsWinRT

Fyi, if you are ever looking for a fun project you might be able to implement this. The vscode editor source is available as a library https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/

VScode uses the monaco-editor to display all editor screens in vscode including the markdown editor. A simple solution is to use the in built markdown file editor and call it a day.

visual studio is open source: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode

i remember using their monaco editor as well (https://github.com/microsoft/monaco-editor), a really powerful editor & the very same used by VS Code (i think you can even get at the AST for TypeScript, for example, in the browser if you poke around deep enough)

crazy cool stuff, and most definitely OSS!!!

So lets say the project consists of two packages Lib and App in which Lib is a library and App is the frontend app which depends on Lib. Now I want to display a monaco powered code editor in App which has has access to all types of Lib. This means that I have to somehow read the *.d.ts file of Lib as a string to set it as "extra lib" for monaco.

You’ll see a Monaco Editor-powered change editor. The content incoming from the Git repo is on the left, while the current content in Vrite is on the right. You can make changes in the editor on the right - this will ultimately become the result content. Once you’re done, click Resolve. If there are no other conflicts, you should now be able to pull the latest changes.

From googling about it seems that Azure uses monaco editor to make code in repos be colourised and what not. this appears to be the editor library for vscode, so that makes sense.

By referencing the ProseMirror docs, forwarding the editor state back and forth, and adjusting the layout, I managed to integrate Monaco Editor — the web editor extracted from VS Code — together with Prettier (for code formatting) right into the Vrite Editor (I know, that’s a lot of editors in one place 😅).
