@doist/typist

Typist is the mighty Tiptap-based rich-text editor React component that powers Doist products, which can also be used for displaying content in a read-only fashion. Typist also supports a plain-text mode, and comes with HTML/Markdown serializers.

Note

This project is not attempting to be an all-purpose rich-text editor. Whilst everyone is welcome to fork or use this package in their own products, development decisions are centered around Doist product requirements.

Installation

npm install --save @doist/typist

Peer Dependencies

If you are using npm 7+ and the legacy-peer-deps options is not enabled, peer dependencies should have been automatically installed for you with the command above. Otherwise, you can install them with:

npm info @doist/typist peerDependencies --json \
    | command sed 's/[\{\},]//g ; s/: /@/g' \
    | xargs npm install --save

Usage

import { TypistEditor, RichTextKit } from '@doist/typist'

function TypistEditorContainer({ content }) {
    return (
        <TypistEditor
            placeholder="A full rich-text editor, be creative…"
            content={content}
            extensions={[RichTextKit]}
        />
    )
}
