Usage

import {EditorView, basicSetup} from "codemirror"

const view = new EditorView({
  parent: document.body,
  doc: "Hello",
  extensions: [basicSetup /* ... */]
})

This sets up a basic code editor containing the word "Hello". You'll usually want to add at least a language mode to your configuration.
