Microsoft recently open sourced their monaco editor (similar to ace/codemirror).
https://github.com/Microsoft/monaco-editor
I've got it up and running in the browser, but still can't figure out how to get the current text of the editor, like if I wanted to save it.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" >
</head>
<body>
<div id="container" style="width:800px;height:600px;border:1px solid grey"></div>
<script src="monaco-editor/min/vs/loader.js"></script>
<script>
require.config({ paths: { 'vs': 'monaco-editor/min/vs' }});
require(['vs/editor/editor.main'], function() {
var editor = monaco.editor.create(document.getElementById('container'), {
value: [
'function x() {',
'console.log("Hello world!");',
'}'
].join('
'),
language: 'javascript'
});
});
function save() {
// how do I get the value/code inside the editor?
var value = "";
saveValueSomewhere(value);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
