Blazor syntax editor

It would be really cool to be able to edit documents much like the WPF syntax editor.

Our use case is that we use blazor for our admin tools and we need to give a better look and feel (color coding) to some stored SQL and XML.  Nothing fancy just a better experience.

Thank you very much for helping us out!  The blazormonaco wrapper looks very promising for what we need!

A quick update - if you are not looking for actual editor but just to add syntax highlighting to code snippets (make them look like they do in VS) - there are ready-made tools for that as well, they usually boil down to calling a JS function over the DOM you want to colorize. This thread can be a good starting place for that: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1710653/is-there-a-free-code-to-html-syntax-highlighter-written-in-c

Hi Ron,

Such a tool is something that is extremely heavy and complex, and it is well beyond the scope of our components.

I can suggest you look into using the editor engine that powers VS Code - it is available for free and it is called Monaco. It looks like there are already some projects that wrap it for Blazor in the nuget gallery: https://www.google.com/search?q=Monaco+editor+blazor
