export { monaco }

What is the use of self.MonacoEnvironment? Is it required under or not?

Any progress on this question?

I ran into this when we switch from:

import * as monaco from "monaco-editor";

to

import * as monaco from "monaco-editor/esm/vs/editor/editor.api";

Adding some more imports fixed it:

// for JSON
import "monaco-editor/esm/vs/language/json/monaco.contribution";
// for HTML
import "monaco-editor/esm/vs/basic-languages/html/html.contribution";

We don't use other language bundles but there are similar files in the language and basic-languages directories, so guessing CSS/Typescript/Javascript will be one of them.

I did find html in both directories, but basic-languages was the one I needed 🤷
