# tiptap A renderless and extendable rich-text editor for [Vue.js](https://github.com/vuejs/vue) [![](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/tiptap.svg?label=version)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/tiptap) [![](https://img.shields.io/npm/dm/tiptap.svg)](https://npmcharts.com/compare/tiptap?minimal=true) [![](https://img.shields.io/npm/l/tiptap.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/tiptap) [![](http://img.badgesize.io/https://unpkg.com/tiptap/dist/tiptap.min.js?compression=gzip&label=size&colorB=000000)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/tiptap) ## Why I built tiptap I was looking for a text editor for [Vue.js](https://github.com/vuejs/vue) and found some solutions that didn't really satisfy me. The editor should be easy to extend and not based on old dependencies such as jQuery. For React there is already a great editor called [Slate.js](https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate), which impresses with its modularity. I came across [Prosemirror](https://github.com/prosemirror) and decided to build on it. Prosemirror is a toolkit for building rich-text editors that is already in use at many well-known companies such as *Atlassian* or *New York Times*. ## Examples To check out some live examples, visit [tiptap.scrumpy.io](https://tiptap.scrumpy.io/). ## Installation ``` npm install tiptap ``` or ``` yarn add tiptap ``` ## Basic Setup ```vue ``` ## Editor Properties | **Property** | **Type** | **Default** | **Description** | | --- | :---: | :---: | --- | | `editable` | `Boolean` | `true` | When set to `false` the editor is read-only. | | `doc` | `Object` | `null` | The editor state object used by Prosemirror. You can also pass HTML to the `content` slot. When used both, the `content` slot will be ignored. | | `extensions` | `Array` | `[]` | A list of extensions used, by the editor. This can be `Nodes`, `Marks` or `Plugins`. | | `@update` | `Function` | `undefined` | This will return the current `state` of Prosemirror on every change. | ## Extensions By default the editor will only support some boring paragraphs. Other nodes and marks are available as **extensions**. There is a package called `tiptap-extensions` with the most basic nodes, marks and plugins. ### Available Extensions ```vue ``` ### Create Custom Extensions The most powerful feature of tiptap is that you can create you own extensions. There are 3 basic types of extensions. | **Type** | **Description** | | --- | --- | | `Extension` | The most basic type. It's useful to register some [Prosemirror plugins](https://prosemirror.net/docs/guide/) or some input rules. | | `Node` | Add a custom node. Nodes are basically block elements like a headline or a paragraph. | | `Mark` | Add a custom mark. Marks are used to add extra styling or other information to inline content like a strong tag or links. | ### Extension Class | **Method** | **Type** | **Default** | **Description** | | --- | :---: | :---: | --- | | `get name()` | `String` | `null` | Define a name for your extension. | | `get defaultOptions()` | `Object` | `{}` | Define some default options. The options are available as `this.$options`. | | `get plugins()` | `Array` | `[]` | Define a list of [Prosemirror plugins](https://prosemirror.net/docs/guide/). | | `keys({ schema })` | `Object` | `null` | Define some keybindings. | | `inputRules({ schema })` | `Array` | `[]` | Define a list of input rules. | ### Node|Mark Class | **Method** | **Type** | **Default** | **Description** | | --- | :---: | :---: | --- | | `get name()` | `String` | `null` | Define a name for your node or mark. | | `get defaultOptions()` | `Object` | `{}` | Define some default options. The options are available as `this.$options`. | | `get schema()` | `Object` | `null` | Define a [schema](https://prosemirror.net/docs/guide/#schema). | | `get view()` | `Object` | `null` | Define a node view as a vue component. | | `keys({ type, schema })` | `Object` | `null` | Define some keybindings. | | `command({ type, schema, attrs })` | `Object` | `null` | Define a command. This is used for menus to convert to this node or mark. | | `inputRules({ type, schema })` | `Array` | `[]` | Define a list of input rules. | | `get plugins()` | `Array` | `[]` | Define a list of [Prosemirror plugins](https://prosemirror.net/docs/guide/). | ### Create a Node Let's take a look at a real example. This is basically how the default `blockquote` node from [`tiptap-extensions`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/tiptap-extensions) looks like. ```js import { Node } from 'tiptap' import { wrappingInputRule, setBlockType, wrapIn } from 'tiptap-commands' export default class BlockquoteNode extends Node { // choose a unique name get name() { return 'blockquote' } // the prosemirror schema object // take a look at https://prosemirror.net/docs/guide/#schema for a detailed explanation get schema() { return { content: 'block+', group: 'block', defining: true, draggable: false, // define how the editor will detect your node from pasted HTML // every blockquote tag will be converted to this blockquote node parseDOM: [ { tag: 'blockquote' }, ], // this is how this node will be rendered // in this case a blockquote tag with a class called `awesome-blockquote` will be rendered // the '0' stands for its text content inside toDOM: () => ['blockquote', { class: 'awesome-blockquote' }, 0], } } // this command will be called from menus to add a blockquote // `type` is the prosemirror schema object for this blockquote // `schema` is a collection of all registered nodes and marks command({ type, schema }) { return wrapIn(type) } // here you can register some shortcuts // in this case you can create a blockquote with `ctrl` + `>` keys({ type }) { return { 'Ctrl->': wrapIn(type), } } // a blockquote will be created when you are on a new line and type `>` followed by a space inputRules({ type }) { return [ wrappingInputRule(/^\s*>\s$/, type), ] } } ``` ### Create a Node as a Vue Component The real power of the nodes comes in combination with Vue components. Lets build a iframe node, where you can change its url (this can also be found in our [examples](https://github.com/heyscrumpy/tiptap/tree/master/examples/Components/Routes/Embeds)). ```js import { Node } from 'tiptap' export default class IframeNode extends Node { get name() { return 'iframe' } get schema() { return { // here you have to specify all values that can be stored in this node attrs: { src: { default: null, }, }, group: 'block', selectable: false, // parseDOM and toDOM is still required to make copy and paste work parseDOM: [{ tag: 'iframe', getAttrs: dom => ({ src: dom.getAttribute('src'), }), }], toDOM: node => ['iframe', { src: node.attrs.src, frameborder: 0, allowfullscreen: 'true', }], } } // return a vue component // this can be an object or an imported component get view() { return { // there are some props available // `node` is a Prosemirror Node Object // `updateAttrs` is a function to update attributes defined in `schema` // `editable` is the global editor prop whether the content can be edited props: ['node', 'updateAttrs', 'editable'], data() { return { // save the iframe src in a new variable because `this.node.attrs` is immutable url: this.node.attrs.src, } }, methods: { onChange(event) { this.url = event.target.value // update the iframe url this.updateAttrs({ src: this.url, }) }, }, template: `
`, } } } ``` ## Contributing Please see [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md) for details. ## Credits - [Philipp Kühn](https://github.com/philippkuehn) - [All Contributors](../../contributors) ## License The MIT License (MIT). Please see [License File](LICENSE.md) for more information.
