如何在Monaco编辑器中监视文件是否从外部更改？

Question

Is there an API for listening external file changes in Monaco editor?

I am developing a react application and my solution is to keep the current modal as a state and use the onDidChangeContent event to compare the current model for any changes.

Is this a better approach or what could be the best approach for listing external changes to load them to the editor?

Answer 1

You could check it using setInterval() or setTimeout() functions and AJAX. Each second you can load your file and compare it with the last loaded file content in Monaco editor. If the file content is not the same then load it again or ask a user before about it.
