need u to create for me a code editor with monaco editor like vs code in the theme and the layout exactly need the monaco editor to ru html,css and js at first need it too to have the colapration in real time theme that have a icon chat in the top bar at the right of the scree when click it should ope a shifted side bar have chat also nne dbefor u go to the editor u showld enter room id and user name
I'll create a collaborative code editor with Monaco Editor that has a VS Code-like interface and real-time collaboration features.
I've created a collaborative code editor with Monaco Editor that mimics VS Code's look and feel. Here's what it includes:
Initial Login Screen:
- Users enter their username and room ID
- Option to create a new room with a randomly generated ID
VS Code-like Interface:
- Dark theme matching VS Code's color scheme
- File explorer sidebar with syntax-highlighted file icons
- Monaco Editor with proper syntax highlighting for HTML, CSS, and JS
Real-time Collaboration Features:
- Simulated WebSocket connection for real-time code sharing
- Room-based collaboration system
- Visual indicators for connection status
Chat Functionality:
- Chat icon in the top bar that toggles the chat sidebar
- Real-time messaging interface
- User identification in messages
- Timestamp display for messages
Responsive Layout:
- Proper sidebar management
- Collapsible chat panel
- Full-screen editor when needed
The application flow:
- Users first enter a room ID and username
- They're then taken to the collaborative editor
- They can edit code and chat with other users in the same room
Note: This implementation includes a simulated WebSocket connection. In a production environment, you would need to implement a real WebSocket server using Socket.io or a similar technology to enable true real-time collaboration.
when i create the room its connect and disconet i cant go to the editor pls fix this
I see the issue in the logs - the application is getting stuck in a connection/disconnection loop. Let me fix this problem with the socket connection logic.
I've fixed the connection/disconnection loop issue by making several important changes:
Improved Socket Connection Logic:
- Modified the socket connection simulation to avoid rapid connect/disconnect cycles
- Set the connection state immediately to prevent reconnection attempts
- Added proper cleanup in the useEffect return function
Fixed Local Storage Handling:
- Updated the useLocalStorage hook to initialize properly on the client side
- Implemented a more reliable state initialization pattern
Improved Navigation Flow:
- Added a small delay after setting localStorage values before navigation
- This ensures values are properly saved before the room page tries to read them
Prevented Redirection Loops:
- Added a check to ensure we only redirect if we've actually checked storage
- This prevents the infinite redirection that was causing the connection issues
These changes should resolve the connection/disconnection loop and allow you to properly access the editor after creating or joining a room. The application will now maintain a stable connection and provide a smooth user experience.
Perfect! Let’s walk step-by-step through how to add real-time collaboration to your Monaco-based code editor using Yjs (CRDT) — on the web (not Electron).
This guide assumes:
You already have Monaco Editor set up.
You want multiple users editing the same file in real-time.
You’re fine with using a simple WebSocket server.
🔧 Step-by-Step: Real-Time Code Collaboration with Yjs + Monaco ✅ Step 1: Install the required packages Use npm or yarn:
bash Copy Edit npm install yjs y-monaco y-websocket Or:
bash Copy Edit yarn add yjs y-monaco y-websocket ✅ Step 2: Set up a WebSocket server (basic) Yjs has a ready-to-use WebSocket server.
You can clone it and run:
bash Copy Edit git clone https://github.com/yjs/y-websocket.git cd y-websocket npm install PORT=1234 npm start This starts a WebSocket server at ws://localhost:1234
You’ll connect your clients to this server using a shared room ID.
✅ Step 3: Setup Monaco Editor (if not done already) Make sure you already have Monaco running on the page:
js Copy Edit import * as monaco from 'monaco-editor';
const editor = monaco.editor.create(document.getElementById('editor'), { value: '', language: 'javascript', theme: 'vs-dark', }); ✅ Step 4: Connect Yjs to Monaco Now you’ll bind Monaco with Yjs.
js Copy Edit import * as Y from 'yjs'; import { WebsocketProvider } from 'y-websocket'; import { MonacoBinding } from 'y-monaco';
// Create a Yjs document const ydoc = new Y.Doc();
// Connect to WebSocket server const provider = new WebsocketProvider( 'ws://localhost:1234', // your websocket server 'my-room-id', // room name, same for all users in the same session ydoc );
// Get a shared Y.Text type const yText = ydoc.getText('monaco');
// Bind it to the Monaco editor const model = editor.getModel();
const monacoBinding = new MonacoBinding( yText, model, new Set([editor]), provider.awareness ); ✅ Step 5: Sync awareness (optional but nice) Awareness allows you to show presence (like cursor, user color, etc.).
You can set user info like this:
js
Copy
Edit
provider.awareness.setLocalStateField('user', {
name: 'Mohamed',
color: '#00aaff'
});
Then you can use that info to show cursors/colors of other users.
✅ Step 6: Test with two browser tabs Run the server (y-websocket)
Open two tabs pointing to the same room ID (e.g., 'my-room-id')
Both editors should now sync in real time!
🧠 Bonus Notes: Yjs handles conflict resolution automatically.
It supports offline editing and syncs back when online.
You can store files in localStorage or sync with a backend later.
