shiki VS Monaco Editor

Shiki (https://shiki.style) might be good enough for your usecase, use the latest beta versions as it's the new fresh esm rewrite.

Finally the vanguard had arrived. A markdown renderer named Shiki.

Can I introduce you to our lord and savior Shiki? https://github.com/shikijs/shiki

Coincidentally, I recently looked into the slow startup time for shiki and it was mostly from parsing JSONC, not WASM: https://github.com/shikijs/shiki/issues/439.

Warning: This article refers to versions of Code Hike before 0.8.0. Since version 0.8.0, Code Hike uses lighter instead of Shiki. The approach presented in this article uses shiki's color replacement method, which no longer works with lighter.

Prismjs was replaced by Shiki and rehype-pretty-code.

The outcome I was (mostly) hoping for has been done by Shiki library! I take no credit for the idea btw, I am just glad that someone else (Pine) took it on!

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 😅).
