Getting Started

import React from 'react';
import SunEditor from 'suneditor-react';
import 'suneditor/dist/css/suneditor.min.css'; // Import Sun Editor's CSS File

const MyComponent = props => {
  return (
    <div>
      <p> My Other Contents </p>
      <SunEditor />
    </div>
  );
};
export default MyComponent;

Props

Basic Settings

lang

Language of editor

//...
render() {
	return <SunEditor lang="en" />
	// Default is en
	// lang prop can be one of the strings provided in this array ["en", "da", "de", "es", "fr", "ja", "ko", "pt_br", "ru", "zh_cn"]
	// Alternatively, an object of your language can be passed to this prop. To learn how to do it refer to the bottom of the page
}

name

HTML form name of editor

This is used to set the HTML form name of the editor. This means on HTML form submission, it will be submitted together with contents of the editor by the name provided.

//...
render() {
	return <SunEditor name="my-editor" />
}

width

Set Editor's width

//...
// Accepts number representing px
// or percentage string
// eg width={100} or width="100%"
// default is 100%
render() {
	return <SunEditor width="100%" />
}

height

_Set Editor's height

//...
// Accepts number representing px
// or percentage string
// eg height={100} or height="100"
render() {
	return <SunEditor height="100" />
}

placeholder

Set Editor's placeholder

//...
render() {
	return <SunEditor placeholder="Please type here..." />
}

autoFocus

Should editor focus when initialized

//...
render() {
	return <SunEditor autoFocus={true} />
}

setOptions

Set Options (Settings) for the editor Click to see all options available

import SunEditor,{buttonList} from "suneditor-react";
/*
	buttonList.basic = basic buttons for wordprocessing
	buttonList.formatting = most tools used for formatting - This is the default option
	buttonList.complex = contains most of the buttons

	Note that you do not need to pass plugins explicitly from the suneditor package. suneditor-react handles it behind the scenes
*/

//...
render() {
	return <SunEditor setOptions={{
				    height: 200,
					buttonList: buttonList.formatting // Or Array of button list, eg. [['font', 'align'], ['image']]
					// Other option
			}} />
}

setContents

Set Editor's Initial Content

Note setContents is used to set the initial contents of the editor. If you are setting the contents with a state variable, make sure that you are not using the same variable to handle the onChange event.

//...
render() {
	return <SunEditor setContents="My contents" />
}

appendContents

Append Editor Content

//...
render() {
	return <SunEditor appendContents="My contents" />
}

setDefaultStyle

Set the default style of the editor's edit area

//...
render() {
	return <SunEditor setDefaultStyle="font-family: cursive; font-size: 10px;" />
}

Editor Status

Note: This prop is now dynamic! Which means that, the Boolean passed to the Editor's status prop (like enable, disable, show, hide) can be used to toggle the Editor Status.

This is really useful when you are building an app that requires validation.

enable

Enable Editor

//...
render() {
	return <SunEditor enable={true} />
}

disable

Disable Editor

//...
render() {
	return <SunEditor disable={true} />
}

hide

Hide Editor

//...
render() {
	return <SunEditor hide={true} />
}

show

Show Editor

//...
render() {
	return <SunEditor show={true} />
}

showToolbar

Show Editor Toolbar

//...
render() {
	return <SunEditor showToolbar={true} />
}

enableToolbar

Enable Editor Toolbar

//...
render() {
	return <SunEditor enableToolbar={true} />
}

Events

Note that you need to bind the function passed to the event in the constructor if you are using a class Component, or use arrow functions instead. This is just how react works. Otherwise it won't work. This documentation assumes you bind all your functions to the constructor. Eg below:

constructor(props) {
	super(props);
	this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this)
}

onChange

Note onChange is used to handle changes to the editor. Make sure that you are not using the same variable for setContents.

Has the content inside the editor been changed?

handleChange(content){
	console.log(content); //Get Content Inside Editor
}
render() {
	return <SunEditor onChange={handleChange} />
}

onScroll

Has the editor been scrolled?

handleScroll(event){
	console.log(event); //Get the scroll event
}
render() {
	return <SunEditor onScroll={handleScroll} />
}

onClick

Has the editor been clicked?

handleClick(event){
	console.log(event); //Get the click event
}
render() {
	return <SunEditor onClick={handleClick} />
}

handleMouseDown(event){
	console.log(event); //Get the click event
}
render() {

}

onInput

Has the editor received input?

handleInput(event){
	console.log(event); //Get the click event
