## 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.

## Installation
```
npm install tiptap
```
or
```
yarn add tiptap
```
## Basic Setup
```vue
Hi, I'm just a boring paragraph
```
## 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
Yay Headlines!
All these cool tags are working now.
```
### 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.$options`. |
| `get plugins()` | `Array` | `[]` | Define a list of [Prosemirror plugins](https://prosemirror.net/docs/guide/). |
| `get inputRules()` | `Array` | `[]` | Define a list of input rules. |
### Node|Mark Class
| **Method** | **Type** | **Default** | **Description** |
| --- | :---: | :---: | --- |
| `get name()` | `String` | `null` | Define a name for your node or mark. |
| `get defaultOptions()` | `Object` | `{}` | Define some default options. The options are available as `this.$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
get schema() {
return {
content: 'block+',
group: 'block',
defining: true,
draggable: false,
// this rule is for parsing pasted HTML
// so 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 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
