What are @tiptap/core's main functionalities?

Creating an Editor

This code demonstrates how to create a basic editor instance with initial content and an update handler that logs the current HTML content to the console.

const { Editor } = require('@tiptap/core');
const editor = new Editor({
  content: '<p>Hello World!</p>',
  onUpdate: ({ editor }) => {
    console.log(editor.getHTML());
  },
});

Adding Extensions

This code shows how to add extensions to the editor. The `StarterKit` extension provides a set of basic functionalities like bold, italic, and bullet lists.

const { Editor } = require('@tiptap/core');
const { StarterKit } = require('@tiptap/starter-kit');
const editor = new Editor({
  extensions: [StarterKit],
  content: '<p>Hello World!</p>',
});

Custom Extensions

This code demonstrates how to create a custom node extension. The `CustomNode` is defined with specific parsing and rendering rules, and then added to the editor.

const { Node, mergeAttributes } = require('@tiptap/core');
const CustomNode = Node.create({
  name: 'customNode',
  group: 'block',
  content: 'inline*',
  parseHTML() {
    return [{ tag: 'custom-node' }];
  },
  renderHTML({ HTMLAttributes }) {
    return ['custom-node', mergeAttributes(HTMLAttributes), 0];
  },
});
const editor = new Editor({
  extensions: [CustomNode],
  content: '<custom-node>Hello World!</custom-node>',
});
