Get/Restore Monaco editor Undo&Redo stack
See original GitHub issueI want to create a system to store the Undo&Redo stack of the Monaco editor.
Why?: I have a Monaco instance where I do several changes. Then I have to dispose that instance and open a new one. Here, I want to restore the same stack state that I had in the previous instance.
Question: How can I get and restore the Undo&Redo stack? (Serialize it)
UPDATE: The model records edits in its own structure. However, we don’t have a direct access through its API. The next example seems to work but it keeps everything in memory. I would like to have a way where I could serialize it.
var model = editorInstance.getModel();
var viewState = editorInstance.saveViewState();
//Destroy your instance for whatever reason
editorInstance.dispose();
//When you create the new instance load the model that you saved
var newInstance = monaco.editor.create(elem, options);
newInstance.setModel(model);
newInstance.restoreViewState(viewState);

@alexdima would you all be interested in a PR to introduce a public API for this? If so, do you have any design notes, constraints, existing or new ideas to share, etc?
CC @rebornix
@alexdima I tried porting the logic to the new system but it’s unclear to me where the actual data is stored. What should people do now to serialize the undo stack on disk for example? IMHO this kind of functionality is fairly critical and there should be some high-level APIs for this.
