# MonacoFX
[  ](https://bintray.com/miho/MonacoFX/MonacoFX/_latestVersion)
JavaFX editor node based on the powerful [Monaco](https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/) editor that drives [VS Code](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode)
## Using MonacoFX
Using MonacoFX is straightforward. Just create a MonacoFX node and add it to the scene graph. Here's a an example on how to use MonacoFX with syntax highlighting and code folding for an existing language:
```java
public class App extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
// create a new monaco editor node
MonacoFX monacoFX = new MonacoFX();
StackPane root = new StackPane(monacoFX);
// set initial text
monacoFX.getEditor().getDocument().setText(
"#include \n" +
"int main() {\n" +
" // printf() displays the string inside quotation\n" +
" printf(\"Hello, World!\");\n" +
" return 0;\n" +
"}");
// use a predefined language like 'c'
monacoFX.getEditor().setCurrentLanguage("c");
monacoFX.getEditor().setCurrentTheme("vs-dark");
// the usual scene & stage setup
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 800,600);
primaryStage.setTitle("MonacoFX Demo (running on JDK " + System.getProperty("java.version") + ")");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
}
```
