React Native WordPress Editor

React Native Wrapper for WordPress Rich Text Editor. The WordPress-Editor is the text editor used in the official WordPress mobile apps to create and edit pages & posts. In short it's a simple, straightforward way to visually edit HTML.

Current experimental implementation is for iOS only.

Dependencies

• native code for the original editor (a git submodule) - actually taken from this leaner fork

• react-native-navigation - native navigation library for React Native (required to natively display the editor within RN)

How is integration possible?

It isn't trivial to intergrate the WordPress editor with React Native because it is exposed in native code as a UIViewController and not a UIView. React Native only has internal support for integrating native UIViews by wrapping them as React components.

In order to integrate a UIViewController with RN, we have to turn to the library react-native-navigation which fully supports native app skeletons with View Controllers. If you're interested in how it's achieved, take a look at the following internal dependency of this awesome library.

Installation

• Make sure your project uses react-native-navigation and that you've followed the Installation instructions there

• In your RN project root run:
  npm install react-native-wordpress-editor --save

• Open your Xcode project and drag the folder node_modules/react-native-wordpress-editor/ios into your project
