Monaco editor has a unique way of loading each line by placing it in a container under the "view-lines" class section. After loading the editor content, you can hide specific lines by setting the corresponding container's display property to "none."
To see the implementation, visit https://jsfiddle.net/renatodc/s6fxedo2/
let value = `function capitalizeFirstLetter(string) {
\treturn string.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + string.slice(1);
}
$(function() {
\tlet word = "script";
\tlet result = capitalizeFirstLetter(word);
\tconsole.log(result);
});
`
let linesToDisable = [1,2,3];
let editor = monaco.editor.create(document.getElementById('container'), {
value,
language: 'javascript',
theme: 'vs-dark',
scrollbar: {
vertical: "hidden",
handleMouseWheel: false
},
scrollBeyondLastLine: false
});
// Triggered event for Monaco Editor load completion: https://github.com/Microsoft/monaco-editor/issues/115
let didScrollChangeDisposable = editor.onDidScrollChange(function() {
didScrollChangeDisposable.dispose();
setTimeout(function() {
$(".monaco-editor .view-lines > div").each(function(i) {
if(linesToDisable.includes(i+1)) {
$(this).css("display","none");
$(this).css("pointer-events","none");
}
});
},1000);
});
Continuous scrolling may cause the hidden lines to reappear and disrupt the functionality. To prevent this, disable scrolling in Monaco, set a fixed height for the editor container, and utilize the browser or a parent container for scrolling.
If navigating to hidden content using arrow keys causes cursor issues, consider handling this behavior using the onKeyDown event of the editor.
For a reliable implementation, consider loading Monaco editor with only the editable portion of the document and extending the completion provider (Intellisense) as demonstrated in this example: https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/playground.html#extending-language-services-completion-provider-example
monaco.languages.registerCompletionItemProvider('javascript', {
provideCompletionItems: function(model, position) {
return {
suggestions: [
{
label: "capitalizeFirstLetter",
kind: monaco.languages.CompletionItemKind.Method,
documentation: "Capitalize the first letter of a word",
insertText: "capitalizeFirstLetter("
}
]
};
}
});
monaco.editor.create(document.getElementById("container"), {
value: `$(function() {
\tlet word = "script";
\tlet result = capitalizeFirstLetter(word);
\tconsole.log(result);
});
`,
language: "javascript"
});
For extracting identifiers from your source document, consider utilizing an AST parser like Esprima and incorporating them into the suggestions array.
