Question about createModelReference? #482
Description
Hello Team,
I was going through the README and found this new method of creating a model using createModelReference. I'm using a websocket LSP server to provide LSP support in the Monaco editor. So, do I still need to create fileSystemProvider and other things before using createModelReference or can I simply replace createModel with createModelReference without making any other changes?
import * as monaco from 'monaco-editor'
import { RegisteredFileSystemProvider, RegisteredMemoryFile, registerFileSystemOverlay } from '@codingame/monaco-vscode-files-service-override'
const fileUri = monaco.Uri.file(<file uri>);
// Do I always need these three lines before creating a reference of the model
const fileSystemProvider = new RegisteredFileSystemProvider(false)
fileSystemProvider.registerFile(new RegisteredMemoryFile(fileUri, <file content>))
const overlayDisposable = registerFileSystemOverlay(1, fileSystemProvider)
const modelRef = await monaco.editor.createModelReference(fileUri)
const editor = monaco.editor.create({ model: modelRef.object.textEditorModel })One more thing: It seems like all the methods we used to access, like model.updateOptions, have been moved inside modelRef.object.textEditorModel. Am I right?
Thank you for your help!

@CGNonofr do you have any thoughts on this?

createModelReferencecreate a model reference bound to a file, it needs the file to existcreateModelReferencereturns a wrapper to the monaco model indeed,modelRef.object.textEditorModelis the exact same object as the one returned bycreateModel.modelRefis the ref itself you have to dispose when you don't need it anymore,modelRef.objectis a wrapper for the model making the link between the model and the filesystem/workingcopy, allowing you to save/revert changes
