Monaco Editor in Slidev

This skill covers integrating Monaco Editor (the editor powering VS Code) into your Slidev presentations for live coding, interactive demos, and executable code blocks.

When to Use This Skill

• Live coding demonstrations
• Interactive code editing during presentations
• Running code examples in real-time
• Teaching programming concepts
• Showing auto-completion and type hints

Enabling Monaco Editor

Basic Monaco Block

Add {monaco} to any code block:

const greeting = 'Hello, World!' console.log(greeting)

This creates an editable code block with:

• Syntax highlighting
• Auto-completion
• Type checking (for TypeScript)
• Bracket matching

Monaco with Line Highlighting

const a = 1 const b = 2 // highlighted const c = 3 // highlighted

Monaco Runner

Execute code directly in the presentation:

JavaScript Runner

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] const doubled = numbers.map(n => n * 2) console.log(doubled)

Click "Run" to execute and see output.

TypeScript Runner

interface User { name: string age: number }

const user: User = { name: 'John', age: 30 }

console.log(${user.name} is ${user.age} years old)

Auto-Run on Load

console.log('This runs automatically!')

Show Output Only

// Output shows after one click console.log('Hello!')

Configuration Options

Editor Height

// Taller editor function longFunction() { // ... }

Read-Only Mode

// Cannot be edited const CONSTANT = 'value'

Diff Editor

const original = 'Hello' ~~~ const modified = 'Hello, World!'

Monaco Setup Configuration

setup/monaco.ts

import { defineMonacoSetup } from '@slidev/types'

export default defineMonacoSetup((monaco) => {
  // Editor options
  return {
    editorOptions: {
      fontSize: 14,
      fontFamily: 'JetBrains Mono, monospace',
      minimap: { enabled: false },
      lineNumbers: 'on',
      wordWrap: 'on',
      tabSize: 2,
      scrollBeyondLastLine: false,
      automaticLayout: true,
    },
    // Light/dark theme
    theme: {
      light: 'vs',
      dark: 'vs-dark',
    },
  }
})

Custom Themes

import { defineMonacoSetup } from '@slidev/types'

export default defineMonacoSetup((monaco) => {
  // Define custom theme
  monaco.editor.defineTheme('my-theme', {
    base: 'vs-dark',
    inherit: true,
    rules: [
      { token: 'comment', foreground: '6A9955' },
      { token: 'keyword', foreground: 'C586C0' },
    ],
    colors: {
      'editor.background': '#1a1a2e',
    },
  })

  return {
    theme: {
      dark: 'my-theme',
      light: 'vs',
    },
  }
})

Type Definitions

Adding Types for Libraries

// setup/monaco.ts
import { defineMonacoSetup } from '@slidev/types'

export default defineMonacoSetup(async (monaco) => {
  // Add React types
  const reactTypes = await fetch(
    'https://unpkg.com/@types/react/index.d.ts'
  ).then(r => r.text())

  monaco.languages.typescript.typescriptDefaults.addExtraLib(
    reactTypes,
    'file:///node_modules/@types/react/index.d.ts'
  )
})

Inline Type Definitions

// Types defined inline interface Todo { id: number text: string completed: boolean }

const todos: Todo[] = [ { id: 1, text: 'Learn Slidev', completed: true }, { id: 2, text: 'Create presentation', completed: false }, ]

Interactive Examples

Counter Demo

// Interactive counter let count = 0

function increment() { count++ console.log(Count: ${count}) }

// Click Run multiple times! increment()

API Simulation

// Simulated API call async function fetchUser(id: number) { // Simulate network delay await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 500))

return { id, name: 'John Doe', email: 'john@example.com' } }

const user = await fetchUser(1) console.log(user)

Algorithm Visualization

// Bubble sort with steps function bubbleSort(arr: number[]) { const result = [...arr] const steps: string[] = []

for (let i = 0; i < result.length; i++) { for (let j = 0; j < result.length - i - 1; j++) { if (result[j] > result[j + 1]) { [result[j], result[j + 1]] = [result[j + 1], result[j]] steps.push(Swap: [${result.join(', ')}]) } } }

return { result, steps } }

const { result, steps } = bubbleSort([5, 3, 8, 4, 2]) console.log('Steps:', steps.length) steps.forEach(s => console.log(s)) console.log('Final:', result)

Code Runner Patterns

Show Concept Then Let Edit

# Array Methods

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

// Try changing the function! const result = numbers .filter(n => n % 2 === 0) .map(n => n * 2)

console.log(result)

Try modifying the code to:
- Filter odd numbers
- Triple instead of double

Interactive Quiz

# Fix the Bug

// This code has a bug - can you fix it? function reverseString(str: string) { return str.split('').reserve().join('') }

console.log(reverseString('hello')) // Expected: 'olleh'

Live Data Manipulation

const data = [ { name: 'Alice', score: 85 }, { name: 'Bob', score: 92 }, { name: 'Charlie', score: 78 }, ]

// Calculate statistics const average = data.reduce((sum, d) => sum + d.score, 0) / data.length const highest = Math.max(...data.map(d => d.score)) const passing = data.filter(d => d.score >= 80)

console.log(Average: ${average.toFixed(1)}) console.log(Highest: ${highest}) console.log(Passing: ${passing.map(d => d.name).join(', ')})

Combining with Animations

// Code appears on click, then is editable function greet(name: string) { return Hello, ${name}! }

Best Practices

1. Keep Examples Focused

// GOOD: Single concept const sum = [1, 2, 3].reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0) console.log(sum) // 6

2. Provide Starting Point

// Complete the function: function capitalize(str: string): string { // Your code here return str }

console.log(capitalize('hello')) // Should print: 'Hello'

3. Show Expected Output

// Code example const result = [1, 2, 3].map(n => n ** 2) console.log(result) // Expected output: [1, 4, 9]

4. Handle Errors Gracefully

try { const result = riskyOperation() console.log(result) } catch (error) { console.error('Error:', error.message) }

function riskyOperation() { // Might throw an error throw new Error('Oops!') }

Limitations

• No DOM Access: Cannot manipulate the page DOM
• Limited APIs: Only standard JavaScript APIs available
• No Imports: Cannot import external packages
• Console Only: Output is console-based

Output Format

When creating Monaco code blocks:

PURPOSE: [What the code demonstrates]
INTERACTION: [How audience should interact]

CODE:

// Clear comments explaining purpose

[Code with good defaults]

// Expected output noted

SUGGESTED EDITS:

- Try changing X to Y
- Modify function to do Z
