YAML language plugin for the Monaco Editor. It provides the following features when editing YAML
files:
- Code completion, based on JSON schemas or by looking at similar objects in the same file
- Hovers, based on JSON schemas
- Validation: Syntax errors and schema validation
- Formatting using Prettier
- Document Symbols
- Automatically load remote schema files (by enabling DiagnosticsOptions.enableSchemaRequest)
- Links from JSON references.
- Links and hover effects from YAML anchors.
- Code folding.
Schemas can also be provided by configuration. See
[here](https://github.com/remcohaszing/monaco-yaml/blob/main/index.d.ts) for the API that the plugin
offers to configure the YAML language support.

## Installation
```sh
npm install monaco-yaml
```
## Usage
Before implementing `monaco-yaml`, or even Monaco editor, it’s recommended to learn the
[basic concepts](https://github.com/microsoft/monaco-editor#concepts) of Monaco editor.
To configure `monaco-yaml`, call [`configureMonacoYaml`](#configuremonacoyamlmonaco-options).
```typescript
import * as monaco from 'monaco-editor'
import { configureMonacoYaml } from 'monaco-yaml'
configureMonacoYaml(monaco, {
enableSchemaRequest: true,
schemas: [
{
// If YAML file is opened matching this glob
fileMatch: ['**/.prettierrc.*'],
// Then this schema will be downloaded from the internet and used.
uri: 'https://json.schemastore.org/prettierrc.json'
},
{
// If YAML file is opened matching this glob
fileMatch: ['**/person.yaml'],
// The following schema will be applied
schema: {
type: 'object',
properties: {
name: {
type: 'string',
description: 'The person’s display name'
},
age: {
type: 'integer',
description: 'How old is the person in years?'
},
occupation: {
enum: ['Delivery person', 'Software engineer', 'Astronaut']
}
}
},
// And the URI will be linked to as the source.
uri: 'https://github.com/remcohaszing/monaco-yaml#usage'
}
]
})
const prettierc = monaco.editor.createModel(
'singleQuote: true\nproseWrap: always\nsemi: yes\n',
undefined,
monaco.Uri.parse('file:///.prettierrc.yaml')
)
monaco.editor.createModel(
'name: John Doe\nage: 42\noccupation: Pirate\n',
undefined,
monaco.Uri.parse('file:///person.yaml')
)
monaco.editor.create(document.getElementById('editor'), {
automaticLayout: true,
model: prettierc
})
```
Also make sure to register the web worker. When using Webpack 5, this looks like the code below.
Other bundlers may use a different syntax, but the idea is the same. Languages you don’t used can be
omitted.
```js
window.MonacoEnvironment = {
getWorker(moduleId, label) {
switch (label) {
case 'editorWorkerService':
return new Worker(new URL('monaco-editor/esm/vs/editor/editor.worker', import.meta.url))
case 'css':
case 'less':
case 'scss':
return new Worker(new URL('monaco-editor/esm/vs/language/css/css.worker', import.meta.url))
case 'handlebars':
case 'html':
case 'razor':
return new Worker(
new URL('monaco-editor/esm/vs/language/html/html.worker', import.meta.url)
)
case 'json':
return new Worker(
new URL('monaco-editor/esm/vs/language/json/json.worker', import.meta.url)
)
case 'javascript':
case 'typescript':
return new Worker(
new URL('monaco-editor/esm/vs/language/typescript/ts.worker', import.meta.url)
)
case 'yaml':
return new Worker(new URL('monaco-yaml/yaml.worker', import.meta.url))
default:
throw new Error(`Unknown label ${label}`)
}
}
}
```
## Examples
A demo is available on [monaco-yaml.js.org](https://monaco-yaml.js.org).
Some usage examples can be found in the
[examples](https://github.com/remcohaszing/monaco-yaml/tree/main/examples) directory.
## API
`monaco-yaml` has the following exports:
### `configureMonacoYaml(monaco, options?)`
Configure `monaco-yaml`.
> **Note**: There may only be one configured instance of `monaco-yaml` at a time.
#### Arguments
- `monaco` (`object`): The Monaco editor module. Typically you get this by importing
`monaco-editor`. Third party integrations often expose it as the global `monaco` variable instead.
- `options` (`object`): Options to configure `monaco-yaml`.
#### Options
- `completion` (`boolean`): If set, enable schema based autocompletion. (Default: `true`)
- `customTags` (`string[]`): A list of custom tags. (Default: `[]`)
- `enableSchemaRequest` (`boolean`): If set, the schema service will load schema content on-demand.
(Default: `false`)
- `format` (`boolean`): Prettier from the bundle. (Default: `true`)
- `hover` (`boolean`): If set, enable hover typs based the JSON schema. (Default: `true`)
- `isKubernetes` (`boolean`): If true, a different diffing algorithm is used to generate error
messages. (Default: `false`)
- `schemas` (`object[]`): A list of known schemas and/or associations of schemas to file names.
(Default: `[]`)
- `validate` (`boolean`): based validation. (Default: `true`)
- `yamlVersion` (`'1.1' | '1.2'`): The YAML version to use for parsing. (Default: `1,2`)
#### Returns
An object that can be used to dispose or update `monaco-yaml`.
## FAQ
### Does this work with the Monaco UMD bundle?
Yes, starting from version 5.0.0
### Does this work with Monaco Editor from a CDN?
Yes, starting from version 5.0.0
### Does this work with `@monaco-editor/loader` or `@monaco-editor/react`?
Yes, starting from version 5.0.0
### Is the web worker necessary?
Yes. The web worker provides the core functionality of `monaco-yaml`.
### Does it work without a bundler?
No. `monaco-yaml` uses dependencies from `node_modules`, so they can be deduped and your bundle size
is decreased. This comes at the cost of not being able to use it without a bundler.
### How do I integrate `monaco-yaml` with a framework? (Angular, React, Vue, etc.)
`monaco-yaml` only uses the Monaco Editor. It’s not tied to a framework, all that’s needed is a DOM
node to attach the Monaco Editor to. See the
[Monaco Editor examples](https://github.com/microsoft/monaco-editor/tree/main/samples) for examples
on how to integrate Monaco Editor in your project, then configure `monaco-yaml` as described above.
### Does `monaco-yaml` work with `create-react-app`?
Yes, but you’ll have to eject. See
[#92 (comment)](https://github.com/remcohaszing/monaco-yaml/issues/92#issuecomment-905836058) for
details.
### Why doesn’t it work with Vite?
Some users have experienced the following error when using Vite:
```
Uncaught (in promise) Error: Unexpected usage
at EditorSimpleWorker.loadForeignModule (editorSimpleWorker.js)
at webWorker.js
```
As a workaround, create a file named `yaml.worker.js` in your own project with the following
contents:
```js
import 'monaco-yaml/yaml.worker.js'
```
Then in your Monaco environment `getWorker` function, reference this file instead of referencing
`monaco-yaml/yaml.worker.js` directly:
```js
import YamlWorker from './yaml.worker.js?worker'
window.MonacoEnvironment = {
getWorker(moduleId, label) {
switch (label) {
// Handle other cases
case 'yaml':
return new YamlWorker()
default:
throw new Error(`Unknown label ${label}`)
}
}
}
```
### Why isn’t `monaco-yaml` working? Official Monaco language extensions do work.
This is most likely due to the fact that `monaco-yaml` is using a different instance of the
`monaco-editor` package than you are. This is something you’ll want to avoid regardless of
`monaco-editor`, because it means your bundle is significantly larger than it needs to be. This is
likely caused by one of the following issues:
- A code splitting misconfiguration
To solve this, try inspecting your bundle using for example
[webpack-bundle-analyzer](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/webpack-bundle-analyzer). If
`monaco-editor` is in there twice, this is the issue. It’s up to you to solve this, as it’s
project-specific.
- You’re using a package which imports `monaco-editor` for you, but it’s using a different version.
You can find out why the `monaco-editor` is installed using `npm ls monaco-editor` or
`yarn why monaco-editor`. It should exist only once, but it’s ok if it’s deduped.
You may be able to solve this by deleting your `node_modules` folder and `package-lock.json` or
`yarn.lock`, then running `npm install` or `yarn install` respectively.
### Using Monaco webpack loader plugin
If you’re using
[monaco webpack plugin](https://github.com/microsoft/monaco-editor/tree/main/webpack-plugin), then
instead of the above code, you can extend the plugin’s configuration. Extend your
`webpack.config.js` file with the following:
```js
import { MonacoWebpackPlugin } from 'monaco-editor-webpack-plugin'
export default {
// ...the rest of your webpack configuration...
plugins: [
new MonacoWebpackPlugin({
languages: ['yaml'],
customLanguages: [
{
label: 'yaml',
entry: 'monaco-yaml',
worker: {
id: 'monaco-yaml/yamlWorker',
entry: 'monaco-yaml/yaml.worker'
}
}
]
})
]
}
```
You can also refer to the
[example](https://github.com/remcohaszing/monaco-yaml/tree/main/examples/monaco-editor-webpack-plugin)
of a complete project.
### Why is syntax highlighting not working?
Syntax highlighting is provided by Monaco editor itself, not by `monaco-yaml`. If you use a build
tool to filter languages or features, make sure to include the `yaml` language. If you import Monaco
editor from `monaco-editor/esm/vs/editor/editor.api.js` and cherry-pick features manually, make sure
to also import `monaco-editor/esm/vs/basic-languages/yaml/yaml.contribution.js`. If you use
`monaco-editor-core`, make sure to import `monaco-languages/release/esm/yaml/yaml.contribution.js`.
### Why does it try to download my schema even when I provided one as an object?
You may have provided a schema configured like this:
```Javascript
{
uri: "http://example.com",
fileMatch: ["file_name.yml"],
schema: {
$schema: "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
$id: "http://example.com",
title: "placeholder title",
description: "placeholder description",
type: "object",
properties: {
name: {
description: "name property description",
type: "string",
},
},
required: ["name"],
},
}
```
And would be surprised to see the error:
> `Unable to load schema from '': Failed to fetch.`
It happens because plugin uses schema URI not only as the URL to download the schema from, but also
to determine the schema name. To fix this, change the `uri` parameter to
`http://example.com/schema-name.json`.
