Markdown Editor

This repo contains two React-based editors:

1. A WYSIWYG Slate-based editor that edits rich text and calls an onChange callback with the modified Slate DOM.
2. A TextArea-based markdown editor that edits markdown text and calls an onChange callback with the modified markdown text.

The demo editor uses the markdown-transform package to transform Slate DOM to/from markdown text.

Using these editors you could allow people to either edit rich formatted text using markdown (and provide a WYSIWYG preview), or allow them to edit using a WYSIWYG editor and use markdown for persistence.

The editor includes a formatting toolbar.

This component is Apache-2 licensed Open Source. Contributors welcome!

Demo

Usage

npm install @accordproject/markdown-editor

You'll also need to be sure to install this package's peer dependencies:

npm install react react-dom slate slate-react styled-components

import { SlateAsInputEditor } from '@accordproject/markdown-editor';
import List from '@accordproject/markdown-editor/dist/plugins/list';
import Video from '@accordproject/markdown-editor/dist/plugins/video';
import { SlateTransformer } from '@accordproject/markdown-slate';

const plugins = [List()];
const slateTransformer = new SlateTransformer();

function storeLocal(slateValue) {
  const markdown = slateTransformer.toMarkdown(slateValue);
  localStorage.setItem('markdown-editor', markdown);
}

ReactDOM.render(<SlateAsInputEditor plugins={plugins} lockText={false} onChange={storeLocal}/>
, document.getElementById('root'));

Example

For an example React App see the ./examples/ folder.

A TextArea containing CommonMark synchronized with a MarkdownEditor component, rendered using Slate.
