Basic Text Handling

This feature allows you to add basic text handling capabilities to your Tiptap editor instance. By including the Text extension, you can manage plain text content within the editor.

import { Text } from '@tiptap/extension-text';

const editor = new Editor({
  extensions: [
    Text,
  ],
});

Custom Text Configuration

This feature allows you to extend the default Text extension to include custom attributes or configurations. In this example, a custom attribute is added to the Text extension.

import { Text } from '@tiptap/extension-text';

const CustomText = Text.extend({
  addAttributes() {
    return {
      customAttribute: {
        default: null,
      },
    };
  },
});

const editor = new Editor({
  extensions: [
    CustomText,
  ],
});
