What are @tiptap/pm's main functionalities?
Schema Creation
This feature allows you to define the structure of your document. The schema defines the nodes and marks that can be used in the editor.
const { Schema } = require('@tiptap/pm');
const mySchema = new Schema({
nodes: {
doc: { content: 'block+' },
paragraph: { content: 'text*', toDOM: () => ['p', 0], parseDOM: [{ tag: 'p' }] },
text: { inline: true }
},
marks: {}
});
Commands
Commands are functions that perform actions on the editor state. This example shows how to create a command to toggle a bold mark.
const { toggleMark } = require('@tiptap/pm');
const boldCommand = toggleMark(mySchema.marks.bold);
// Usage in an editor instance
editor.commands.bold = () => boldCommand(editor.state, editor.dispatch);
Input Rules
Input rules are used to automatically transform text as the user types. This example shows how to create an input rule that transforms text starting with '>' into a blockquote.
const { inputRules, wrappingInputRule } = require('@tiptap/pm');
const blockquoteRule = wrappingInputRule(/^
*>
$/, mySchema.nodes.blockquote);
const myInputRules = inputRules({ rules: [blockquoteRule] });
