How to use a component variable as model for monaco editor?

[soraphis]

I'm currently struggling with it...

• when anything in the component changes the editor vanishes
• when I bind monaco.editor.create to the Unicorn "updated" event, I lose the cursor position in the editor

i don't need to pass the code all the time, but I have more things to the component.

This might be happening because the morphdom library is removing the editor. Have you tried ignoring that part of the component with https://www.django-unicorn.com/docs/templates/#ignore-elements?

Hmm, I'm not sure what might be happening here. Can you make a repo with some code that replicates this so I could try it out?

oh, thank you!
i guess with the ignore flag i can probably make it work good enough
