Q & A

How to interact with the MonacoEditor instance

Using the first parameter of editorDidMount, or using a ref (e.g. <MonacoEditor ref="monaco">) after editorDidMount event has fired.

Then you can invoke instance methods via this.refs.monaco.editor, e.g. this.refs.monaco.editor.focus() to focuses the MonacoEditor instance.

How to get value of editor

Using this.refs.monaco.editor.getValue() or via method of Model instance:

const model = this.refs.monaco.editor.getModel();
const value = model.getValue();

Do something before editor mounted

For example, you may want to configure some JSON schemas before editor mounted, then you can go with editorWillMount(monaco):

class App extends React.Component {
    editorWillMount(monaco) {
        monaco.languages.json.jsonDefaults.setDiagnosticsOptions({
            schemas: [{
                uri: "http://myserver/foo-schema.json",
                schema: {
                    type: "object",
                    properties: {
                        p1: {
                            enum: [ "v1", "v2"]
                        },
                        p2: {
                            $ref: "http://myserver/bar-schema.json"
                        }
                    }
                }
            }]
        });
    }
    render() {
        return (
          <MonacoEditor language="json" editorWillMount={this.editorWillMount} />
        );
    }
}

Use multiple themes

Monaco only supports one theme.

How to use the diff editor

import React from 'react';
import { MonacoDiffEditor } from 'react-monaco-editor';
 
class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    const code1 = "// your original code...";
    const code2 = "// a different version...";
    const options = {
      //renderSideBySide: false
    };
    return (
      <MonacoDiffEditor
        width="800"
        height="600"
        language="javascript"
        original={code1}
        value={code2}
        options={options}
      />
    );
  }
}
