Using the Monaco Editor in a browser without VSCode #446
Description
Now that VS Code is open source, it also means that the Monaco Editor is open source (at-least to some extent).
I would really like to use this editor in my own web application for editing TypeScript files. The only problem is I can't find any documentation about how to do this. I know its possible because the editor is on TypeScript Playground and a few other places.
As far as I can tell, the open sourcing of VS Code is the first time the source code of the Monaco editor has been made public. Also, I think that the VS Code repository is the primary source of the Monaco editor (someone from Microsoft please confirm?).
So far, there have been many questions about using the Monaco Editor on Stack Overflow and other forums, but I have yet to see an official reply from Microsoft.
Can someone please provide some documentation on using the Monaco Editor in a web site, or perhaps release the source code of TypeScript Playground (There is nothing to hide now that we have the Monaco source in the VS Code repository).
Currently, the only thing keeping me from using TypeScript as a JavaScript replacement is the fact that I can't easily use the Monaco Editor inside of my web application. I'm currently using the ACE Editor with a Tern plugin I created. I don't want to go through all of the work of creating full Intellisense support for TypeScript inside of ACE because its a significant undertaking- Instead I'd rather contribute to the Monaco editor and use it as a replacement for ACE (and replace JavaScript with TypeScript).
