Monogon

Super lightweight syntax highlighting for modern browsers.

Usage

Import it

import 'monogon';

Use in your HTML

<monogon-el lang="json" content='{ "names": ["ian", "camilo"], size: "1kb", status: null  }'>Click me</monogon-el>

<script>
  document.querySelector('monogon-el').addEventListener('input', (event) => {
    console.log(event.target.value);
  });
</script>

Frameworks

Vue

// in <template>
<monogon-el :content="content" @input="handleInput">Click me</monogon-el>

// in <script>
const content = ref('{ "json": ["this", "is", "json"], "how": 42  }')
const handleInput = (e) => {
    content.value = e.target.value
}

Vue assumes all non-native HTML elements are Vue components. To resolve this specify in your build config:

plugins: [
  vue({
    template: {
      compilerOptions: {
        // treat all tags with a dash as custom elements
        isCustomElement: (tag) => tag.includes('-'),
      },
    },
  }),
];

Preact

<monogon-el content={jsonText} onInput={(e) => console.log(e.target.value)}></monogon-el>

With SSR

Since SSR is not yet supported, you need to load it in the browser during page load.
