Basic Bubble Menu

This code sets up a basic bubble menu that appears when text is selected. The menu is linked to a DOM element with the class 'bubble-menu'.

import { BubbleMenu } from '@tiptap/extension-bubble-menu';
import { Editor } from '@tiptap/core';
import StarterKit from '@tiptap/starter-kit';

const editor = new Editor({
  extensions: [
    StarterKit,
    BubbleMenu.configure({
      element: document.querySelector('.bubble-menu'),
    }),
  ],
});

Custom Bubble Menu

This code configures a custom bubble menu with additional Tippy.js options, such as setting the duration of the menu's appearance animation.

import { BubbleMenu } from '@tiptap/extension-bubble-menu';
import { Editor } from '@tiptap/core';
import StarterKit from '@tiptap/starter-kit';

const editor = new Editor({
  extensions: [
    StarterKit,
    BubbleMenu.configure({
      element: document.querySelector('.custom-bubble-menu'),
      tippyOptions: {
        duration: 100,
      },
    }),
  ],
});

Conditional Bubble Menu

This code sets up a bubble menu that only appears when there is a text selection (i.e., the selection is not empty).

import { BubbleMenu } from '@tiptap/extension-bubble-menu';
import { Editor } from '@tiptap/core';
import StarterKit from '@tiptap/starter-kit';

const editor = new Editor({
  extensions: [
    StarterKit,
    BubbleMenu.configure({
      element: document.querySelector('.conditional-bubble-menu'),
      shouldShow: ({ state }) => {
        return state.selection.empty === false;
      },
    }),
  ],
});
