Ability to set CSS defaults for IntelliSense in HTML (much as you can set TypeScript default libraries)

[Zlatkovsky]

For TypeScript IntelliSense, it's possible to add additional libraries outside of the editor itself, via

monaco.languages.typescript.typescriptDefaults.addExtraLib(content, filename);

Is it possible to do the same for CSS, to expose some predefined classes to an HTML editor?

@Zlatkovsky There are currently no APIs to replace or modify the list of known CSS selectors, properties or values. Is that what you meant?

[Zlatkovsky]

@aeschli , yes, that's what I mean. I want to be able to declare (from an existing web source or whatever) a list of known classes, and get them to show up when I type in my HTML code.

I'm surprised when you say there is no API for this, though. I thought VS Code uses Monaco editor... and there I do get autocomplete in my html from referenced CSS files...

Thanks!

@Zlatkovsky No, sorry, the Monaco HTML mode never had code completion for class names. Maybe you can add a screenshot of what you have seen?

BTW, you want to file this request in the VSCode repo: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues.
VSCode and Monaco are the sharing most of the code and we use the VSCode repo to collect all requests.

@aeschli, apologies, looks like I had imagined the CSS autocompletion feature! As you correctly point out, it doesn't look like VSCode has it, either.

microsoft/vscode#1005 (comment) already describes the feature request, with a good screenshot detailing the problem.

Feel free to close the issue on this repo, if it is tracked by the other one and hence no longer needed here.

@Zlatkovsky Thanks for finding the issue in the vscode repro. Closing this one
