How can I use monaco in my electron app?

I mean the code sample from https://github.com/TypeFox/monaco-languageclient/tree/master/example What's the proper way to do that? i'm open to new suggestions. I throughout into building a micro frontends but it's not that nice in react/electron and in the end i would have to include the final index output file using iframe. I wish I could use something we do with dlls in desktop application. note: i'm new to react and electron, perdon mystakes that seems so simple.

Well, I tried to "merge" as needed both webpack configs. Is this the way to go? so far i couldn't make it. I added:

  resolve: {
    alias: {
      'vscode': require.resolve('@codingame/monaco-languageclient/lib/vscode-compatibility')
    }

but it cannot find the vscode module, i'm getting the error:

Module not found: Can't resolve 'vscode' in 'C:\Users\jjj\Desktop\merge\Newton\node_modules\vscode-languageclient\lib\common' even tho the package is installed.

I also tried to add "editor.worker": 'monaco-editor/esm/vs/editor/editor.worker.js' in the entry section but I got the error:

An unhandled error has occurred inside Forge:
Conflict: Multiple chunks emit assets to the same filename index.js (chunks 179 and 915)
Error: Conflict: Multiple chunks emit assets to the same filename index.js (chunks 179 and 915)

I did plan to -- assuming it's the proper way to go ---, once managed to fix this webpackes merge, I'd include the main file with the contents:

    require('monaco-editor');
    (self as any).MonacoEnvironment = {
        getWorkerUrl: () => './editor.worker.bundle.js'
    }
    require('./client');

then have <div id="container" style="width:800px;height:600px;border:1px solid grey"></div> somewhere to show the editor and the <script src="main.bundle.js"></script> wouldn't be needed due to the fact it would be included in the webscript's output javascript bundle file, used elsewhere by the entire application.

I'm not used to electron, sorry

Multiple chunks emit assets to the same filename

It happens if you make the webpack config output 2 different bundles as the same file, it's probably related to the output.filename/output.chunkFilename configurations.

I've fixed that but still get the vscode not found error

@MassMessage does this problem still persist with newer versions of monaco-languageclient?

I'm sorry, I haven't tested newer versions... At time I found out the issue was related to the webpack I was using, I did switch to eletron forget's and the issue was gone
