What are @tinymce/tinymce-react's main functionalities?

Basic Integration

This code demonstrates how to integrate the TinyMCE editor into a React application with basic configuration. The editor is initialized with some default content and a set of plugins and toolbar options.

import React from 'react';
import { Editor } from '@tinymce/tinymce-react';

function App() {
  return (
    <Editor
      initialValue="<p>This is the initial content of the editor</p>"
      init={{
        height: 500,
        menubar: false,
        plugins: [
          'advlist autolink lists link image charmap print preview anchor',
          'searchreplace visualblocks code fullscreen',
          'insertdatetime media table paste code help wordcount'
        ],
        toolbar:
          'undo redo | formatselect | bold italic backcolor | \
          alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | \
          bullist numlist outdent indent | removeformat | help'
      }}
    />
  );
}

export default App;

Handling Editor Events

This code shows how to handle events from the TinyMCE editor. The `handleEditorChange` function logs the updated content to the console whenever the content of the editor changes.

import React from 'react';
import { Editor } from '@tinymce/tinymce-react';

function App() {
  const handleEditorChange = (content, editor) => {
    console.log('Content was updated:', content);
  };

  return (
    <Editor
      initialValue="<p>This is the initial content of the editor</p>"
      init={{
        height: 500,
        menubar: false,
        plugins: [
          'advlist autolink lists link image charmap print preview anchor',
          'searchreplace visualblocks code fullscreen',
          'insertdatetime media table paste code help wordcount'
        ],
        toolbar:
          'undo redo | formatselect | bold italic backcolor | \
          alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | \
          bullist numlist outdent indent | removeformat | help'
      }}
      onEditorChange={handleEditorChange}
    />
  );
}

export default App;

Customizing the Toolbar

This code demonstrates how to customize the toolbar in the TinyMCE editor. A custom button is added to the toolbar, which shows an alert when clicked.

import React from 'react';
import { Editor } from '@tinymce/tinymce-react';

function App() {
  return (
    <Editor
      initialValue="<p>This is the initial content of the editor</p>"
      init={{
        height: 500,
        menubar: false,
        plugins: [
          'advlist autolink lists link image charmap print preview anchor',
          'searchreplace visualblocks code fullscreen',
          'insertdatetime media table paste code help wordcount'
        ],
        toolbar:
          'myCustomToolbarButton | undo redo | formatselect | bold italic backcolor | \
          alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | \
          bullist numlist outdent indent | removeformat | help',
        setup: (editor) => {
          editor.ui.registry.addButton('myCustomToolbarButton', {
            text: 'My Button',
            onAction: () => alert('Button clicked!')
          });
        }
      }}
    />
  );
}

export default App;
