Question 1

How do I set up MirrorSharp with a React app?

Accepted Answer

Integrate the client library in a React component using a bundler like Webpack, and ensure WebSocket connections to the .NET server; the README provides Parcel examples but lacks React-specific guidance.

Question 2

MirrorSharp vs Monaco Editor for C# web apps?

Accepted Answer

MirrorSharp is optimized for .NET with deep Roslyn integration, offering better C#-specific features, while Monaco is more versatile for multiple languages but less tailored to .NET ecosystems.

Question 3

Does MirrorSharp support C# 10 or newer features?

Accepted Answer

Yes, since it uses Roslyn, it should support the latest .NET language features, but check the MirrorSharp version compatibility as updates might lag behind Roslyn releases.

Question 4

Can I use MirrorSharp offline or without a server?

Accepted Answer

No, it requires a server component for language services via WebSockets, so it's not suitable for static or client-only applications without a backend.

Question 5

How to customize the editor theme in MirrorSharp?

Accepted Answer

Customize via CodeMirror themes or override CSS, but you must manually import 'mirrorsharp.css' and handle styling in your bundle, which adds complexity.

Question 6

What's the performance impact of MirrorSharp on web apps?

Accepted Answer

It uses WebSockets for real-time communication, which can add latency, but Roslyn's efficient analysis helps maintain responsiveness for typical editing scenarios.
