Usage

Here’s an example of how to use Tiptap to create a rich text editor in your React application:
editor.tsx
import { useEditor, EditorContent } from '@tiptap/react';
import StarterKit from '@tiptap/starter-kit';

function TextEditor() {
  const editor = useEditor({
    extensions: [
      StarterKit,
    ],
    content: '<p>Hello World! 🌎️</p>',
  });

  return (
    <div className="editor-container">
      <div className="menu">
        <button
          onClick={() => editor.chain().focus().toggleBold().run()}
          className={editor.isActive('bold') ? 'is-active' : ''}
        >
          Bold
        </button>
        <button
          onClick={() => editor.chain().focus().toggleItalic().run()}
          className={editor.isActive('italic') ? 'is-active' : ''}
        >
          Italic
        </button>
        <button
          onClick={() => editor.chain().focus().toggleHeading({ level: 1 }).run()}
          className={editor.isActive('heading', { level: 1 }) ? 'is-active' : ''}
        >
          H1
        </button>
      </div>
      <EditorContent editor={editor} />
    </div>
  );
}

​
Advanced Usage

Tiptap is highly extensible. You can add custom extensions for additional functionality:
advanced-editor.tsx
import { useEditor, EditorContent } from '@tiptap/react';
import StarterKit from '@tiptap/starter-kit';
import Placeholder from '@tiptap/extension-placeholder';
import Image from '@tiptap/extension-image';
import Link from '@tiptap/extension-link';

function AdvancedEditor() {
  const editor = useEditor({
    extensions: [
      StarterKit,
      Placeholder.configure({
        placeholder: 'Write something amazing...',
      }),
      Image,
      Link.configure({
        openOnClick: false,
      }),
    ],
    content: '<p>This is an advanced editor with image and link support.</p>',
  });

  // Function to add an image
  const addImage = () => {
    const url = window.prompt('URL');
    if (url) {
      editor.chain().focus().setImage({ src: url }).run();
    }
  };

  // Function to add a link
  const setLink = () => {
    const url = window.prompt('URL');
    if (url) {
      editor.chain().focus().setLink({ href: url }).run();
    }
  };

  return (
    <div className="editor-container">
      <div className="menu">
        {/* Basic formatting buttons */}
        <button onClick={addImage}>Image</button>
        <button onClick={setLink}>Link</button>
      </div>
      <EditorContent editor={editor} />
    </div>
  );
}
