# Editor This class is a central building block of tiptap. It does most of the heavy lifting of creating a working [ProseMirror](https://ProseMirror.net/) editor such as creating the [`EditorView`](https://ProseMirror.net/docs/ref/#view.EditorView), setting the initial [`EditorState`](https://ProseMirror.net/docs/ref/#state.Editor_State) and so on. ## Configuration All of the listed settings can be set before initialization, or read during runtime, or some of them even updated for a running instance (e. g. `editable`). | Setting | Type | Default | Description | | ------------------ | --------------- | ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `autoFocus` | `Boolean` | `false` | Focus the editor on init. | | `content` | `Object|String` | `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. | | `dropCursor` | `Object` | `{}` | Config for `prosemirror-dropcursor`. | | `editable` | `Boolean` | `true` | When set to `false` the editor is read-only. | | `editorProps` | `Object` | `{}` | A list of [Prosemirror editorProps](https://prosemirror.net/docs/ref/#view.EditorProps). | | `enableDropCursor` | `Boolean` | `true` | Enable/disable showing a cursor at the drop position when something is dragged over the editor. | | `enableGapCursor` | `Boolean` | `true` | Enable/disable a cursor at places that don’t allow regular selection (such as positions that have a leaf block node, table, or the end of the document both before and after them). | | `extensions` | `Array` | `[]` | A list of extensions used, by the editor. This can be `Nodes`, `Marks` or `Plugins`. | | `parseOptions` | `Object` | `{}` | A list of [Prosemirror parseOptions](https://prosemirror.net/docs/ref/#model.ParseOptions). | | `onBlur` | `Function` | `undefined` | Returns an object with the `event` and current `state` and `view` of Prosemirror on blur. | | `onFocus` | `Function` | `undefined` | Returns an object with the `event` and current `state` and `view` of Prosemirror on focus. | | `onInit` | `Function` | `undefined` | Returns an object with the current `state` and `view` of Prosemirror on init. | | `onUpdate` | `Function` | `undefined` | Returns an object with the current `state` of Prosemirror, a `json()` and `html()` function and the `transaction` on every change. |
