monaco-editor-wrapper vs @codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper

[rubenfiszel]

Hi, there are 2 libraries with same name but different namespaces.

Can they be both used together (for instance to use the vim keyboard service from '@codingame/monaco-editor-wrapper' ? Why are they separated but have the same name?

Hi @rubenfiszel they were created independently and had different evolution path. @CGNonofr / @CodinGame one was first and was originally tied to what Codingame does. @CGNonofr correct me if I am wrong. The Typefox one had its root in a web component and evolved into the wrapper and split off @typefox/monaco-editor-react. Both were migrated into this repo at one point.
I don't know if merging them is possible or useful, but maybe we should explain the whereabouts in the history section of he README.

The CodinGame version of the wrapper is very tied to our needs (including the languages and tools we need). It's open-source because why not, but it wasn't really designed to be generic and to be widely used

The question was answered. Closing the issue.
