How to use JSON with react-ace?

Question

Im using react-ace and trying the readme example with java syntax. Works great. But I can't seem to set it to JSON.

Java works

import AceEditor from "react-ace";
import "ace-builds/src-noconflict/mode-java";
import "ace-builds/src-noconflict/theme-github";

<AceEditor
    mode="java"
    theme="github"
    name="UNIQUE_ID_OF_DIV"
    editorProps={{ $blockScrolling: true }}
/>  

JSON does not work?

import AceEditor from "react-ace";
import "ace-builds/src-noconflict/mode-json";
import "ace-builds/src-noconflict/theme-github";

<AceEditor
    mode="json"
    theme="github"
    name="UNIQUE_ID_OF_DIV"
    editorProps={{ $blockScrolling: true }}
/>  

The error

Refused to execute script from '...../worker-json.js' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not executable. (anonymous) @ 2f896707-86be-497a-93b2-e1711942d7c7:1 2f896707-86be-497a-93b2-e1711942d7c7:1 Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'importScripts' on 'WorkerGlobalScope': The script at '...../worker-json.js' failed to load.

Answer 1

From my understanding, you would need to do either way to resolve the worker problem.

• Import this ace-builds/webpack-resolver:

import AceEditor from "react-ace";

import "ace-builds/src-noconflict/mode-json";
import "ace-builds/src-noconflict/theme-github";

import 'ace-builds/webpack-resolver';

• Use file-loader to load worker-json file & then configure ace worker:

import AceEditor from "react-ace";

import "ace-builds/src-noconflict/mode-json";
import "ace-builds/src-noconflict/theme-github";

import ace from "ace-builds";

// `webpack` would return the url for `worker-json.js`
// then we use it to configure `ace`
import jsonWorkerUrl from "file-loader!ace-builds/src-noconflict/worker-json";

ace.config.setModuleUrl("ace/mode/json_worker", jsonWorkerUrl);

Try to setOption useWorker: false

      <AceEditor
        mode="json"
        theme="github"
        onChange={onChange}
        name="UNIQUE_ID_OF_DIV"
        editorProps={{ $blockScrolling: true }}
        setOptions={{
          useWorker: false
        }}
      />
