What are @ckeditor/ckeditor5-react's main functionalities?

Basic Usage

This code demonstrates the basic usage of the @ckeditor/ckeditor5-react package. It imports the CKEditor component and the ClassicEditor build, then renders the editor with some initial data and event handlers for ready, change, blur, and focus events.

import React from 'react';
import { CKEditor } from '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-react';
import ClassicEditor from '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-build-classic';

function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <h2>Using CKEditor 5 with React</h2>
      <CKEditor
        editor={ ClassicEditor }
        data="<p>Hello from CKEditor 5!</p>"
        onReady={ editor => {
          console.log( 'Editor is ready to use!', editor );
        } }
        onChange={ ( event, editor ) => {
          const data = editor.getData();
          console.log( { event, editor, data } );
        } }
        onBlur={ ( event, editor ) => {
          console.log( 'Blur.', editor );
        } }
        onFocus={ ( event, editor ) => {
          console.log( 'Focus.', editor );
        } }
      />
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Custom Configuration

This code demonstrates how to use a custom configuration with the CKEditor component. The editorConfiguration object specifies a custom toolbar and heading options, which are then passed to the CKEditor component via the config prop.

import React from 'react';
import { CKEditor } from '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-react';
import ClassicEditor from '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-build-classic';

function App() {
  const editorConfiguration = {
    toolbar: [ 'heading', '|', 'bold', 'italic', 'link', 'bulletedList', 'numberedList', 'blockQuote' ],
    heading: {
      options: [
        { model: 'paragraph', title: 'Paragraph', class: 'ck-heading_paragraph' },
        { model: 'heading1', view: 'h1', title: 'Heading 1', class: 'ck-heading_heading1' },
        { model: 'heading2', view: 'h2', title: 'Heading 2', class: 'ck-heading_heading2' }
      ]
    }
  };

  return (
    <div className="App">
      <h2>Using CKEditor 5 with Custom Configuration</h2>
      <CKEditor
        editor={ ClassicEditor }
        config={ editorConfiguration }
        data="<p>Custom configuration example.</p>"
      />
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Using Plugins

This code demonstrates how to use plugins with the CKEditor component. The Alignment plugin is imported and added to the ClassicEditor build. The editorConfiguration object includes the alignment options, which are then passed to the CKEditor component via the config prop.

import React from 'react';
import { CKEditor } from '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-react';
import ClassicEditor from '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-build-classic';
import Alignment from '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-alignment/src/alignment';

ClassicEditor.builtinPlugins.push( Alignment );

function App() {
  const editorConfiguration = {
    toolbar: [ 'heading', '|', 'bold', 'italic', 'link', 'alignment', 'bulletedList', 'numberedList', 'blockQuote' ],
    alignment: {
      options: [ 'left', 'center', 'right', 'justify' ]
    }
  };

  return (
    <div className="App">
      <h2>Using CKEditor 5 with Plugins</h2>
      <CKEditor
        editor={ ClassicEditor }
        config={ editorConfiguration }
        data="<p>Plugin example with text alignment.</p>"
      />
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;
