Monaco Editor Playground Code

<?php
// The next line contains a syntax error:
if () {
  return "The parser recovers from this type of syntax error"
}
?>

Reproduction Steps

Write a syntax error, like missing condition in if statement or missing a ;

Actual (Problematic) Behavior

Code validation (syntax error) does not work for php language

It does not work in demo either (microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor)

If you select PHP language, the first comment is "the next line contains a syntax error". But the "next line" (which has a syntax error) is not highlighted

Expected Behavior

Code validation works

@SteelManITA Monaco does not support validating PHP syntax.

@rcjsuen I don't understand... Why then on the page https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor is there actually an example in PHP that refers to validation?

In any case, is there currently no way to have even basic validation of PHP syntax?

Which example are you referring to?

I doubt it personally but I don't work for Microsoft. You'd probably need to hook it up with a language server.

@rcjsuen I refer to the example that appears when selecting php on the homepage (screnshot below)

I agree it's kind of a strange design choice but unfortunately the reality is that it does not have PHP syntax validation out-of-the-box.

Ok, thanks for clarifying. Do you know any packages I can use to achieve my goal? Il mar 17 dic 2024, 12:34 Remy Suen ***@***.***> ha scritto:

You should read up on the language server protocol and then look at TypeFox/monaco-languageclient. They have examples that integrate with Java and Python language servers that you can reference.
