# 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. ## Settings All of the listed settings can be set during initialization, read and updated during runtime. | Setting | Type | Default | Description | | ------------------ | --------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `autoFocus` | `Boolean` | `false` | Focus the editor on init. | | `content` | `Object|String` | `null` | The editor state object used by Prosemirror.
