Editor

Introduction

This class is a central building block of tiptap. It does most of the heavy lifting of creating a working ProseMirror editor such as creating the EditorView, setting the initial EditorState and so on.

List of available settings

Check out the API documentation to see all available options.

Element

The element specifies the HTML element the editor will be binded too. The following code will integrate tiptap with an element with the .element class:

import { Editor } from '@tiptap/core'
import { defaultExtensions } from '@tiptap/starter-kit'

new Editor({
  element: document.querySelector('.element'),
  extensions: defaultExtensions(),
})

Extensions

It’s required to pass a list of extensions to the extensions property, even if you only want to allow paragraphs.

import { Editor } from '@tiptap/core'
import { defaultExtensions } from '@tiptap/starter-kit'
import Document from '@tiptap/extension-document'
import Paragraph from '@tiptap/extension-paragraph'
import Text from '@tiptap/extension-text'
import Highlight from '@tiptap/extension-highlight'

new Editor({
  // Use the default extensions
  extensions: defaultExtensions(),

  // … or use specific extensions
  extensions: [
    Document,
    Paragraph,
    Text,
  ],

  // … or both
  extensions: [
    ...defaultExtensions(),
    Highlight,
  ],
})

Content

With the content property you can provide the initial content for the editor. This can be HTML or JSON.

import { Editor } from '@tiptap/core'
import { defaultExtensions } from '@tiptap/starter-kit'

new Editor({
  content: `<p>Example Text</p>`,
  extensions: defaultExtensions(),
})

Editable

The editable property determines if users can write into the editor.

import { Editor } from '@tiptap/core'
import { defaultExtensions } from '@tiptap/starter-kit'

new Editor({
  content: `<p>Example Text</p>`,
  extensions: defaultExtensions(),
  editable: false,
})

Autofocus

With autofocus you can force the cursor to jump in the editor on initialization.

import { Editor } from '@tiptap/core'
import { defaultExtensions } from '@tiptap/starter-kit'

new Editor({
  extensions: defaultExtensions(),
  autofocus: false,
})

Value	Description
`'start'`	Sets the focus to the beginning of the document.
`'end'`	Sets the focus to the end of the document.
`Number`	Sets the focus to a specific position in the document.
`true`	Enables autofocus.
`false`	Disables autofocus.
`null`	Disables autofocus.

Enable input rules

By default, tiptap enables all input rules. With enableInputRules you can disable that.

import { Editor } from '@tiptap/core'
import { defaultExtensions } from '@tiptap/starter-kit'

new Editor({
  content: `<p>Example Text</p>`,
  extensions: defaultExtensions(),
  enableInputRules: false,
})

Enable paste rules

By default, tiptap enables all paste rules. With enablePasteRules you can disable that.

import { Editor } from '@tiptap/core'
import { defaultExtensions } from '@tiptap/starter-kit'

new Editor({
  content: `<p>Example Text</p>`,
  extensions: defaultExtensions(),
  enablePasteRules: false,
})

Inject CSS

By default, tiptap injects a little bit of CSS. With injectCSS you can disable that.

import { Editor } from '@tiptap/core'
import { defaultExtensions } from '@tiptap/starter-kit'

new Editor({
  extensions: defaultExtensions(),
  injectCSS: false,
})

List of available methods

An editor instance will provide the following public methods. They’ll help you to work with the editor.
