Markdown wysiwyg and markup editor

🔧 Main features

• Support for the basic Markdown and YFM syntax.
• Extensibility through the use of ProseMirror and CodeMirror engines.
• The ability to work in WYSIWYG and Markup modes for maximum flexibility.

Install

Getting started

The markdown editor is supplied as a React hook to create an instance of editor and a component for rendering the view.
To set up styling and theme see UIKit docs.

import React from 'react';
import {useMarkdownEditor, MarkdownEditorView} from '@gravity-ui/markdown-editor';
import {toaster} from '@gravity-ui/uikit/toaster-singleton-react-18';

function Editor({onSubmit}) {
  const editor = useMarkdownEditor({allowHTML: false});

  React.useEffect(() => {
    function submitHandler() {
      // Serialize current content to markdown markup
      const value = editor.getValue();
      onSubmit(value);
    }

    editor.on('submit', submitHandler);
    return () => {
      editor.off('submit', submitHandler);
    };
  }, [onSubmit]);

  return <MarkdownEditorView stickyToolbar autofocus toaster={toaster} editor={editor} />;
}
