# MonacoFX
[ ![Download](https://api.bintray.com/packages/miho/MonacoFX/MonacoFX/images/download.svg) ](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/eu.mihosoft.monacofx/monacofx)

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 <stdio.h>\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();
    }
}
```
