# React

## Introduction
The following guide describes how to integrate Tiptap with your [React](https://reactjs.org/) project. We’re using [Create React App](https://reactjs.org/docs/getting-started.html) here, but the workflow should be similar with other setups.

## Create React App

### Quickstart
If you just want to get up and running with Tiptap you can use the [Tiptap Create React App template by @alb](https://github.com/alb/cra-template-tiptap) to create a new project with all the steps listed below completed already.

```bash
npx create-react-app my-tiptap-project --template tiptap
```

### Step by step
All steps are listed below, but if you prefer to watch a video we’ve got something for you, too:

#### 1. Create a project (optional)
Let’s start with a fresh React project called `my-tiptap-project`. [Create React App](https://reactjs.org/docs/getting-started.html) will set up everything we need.

```bash
# create a project with npm
npx create-react-app my-tiptap-project

# change directory
cd my-tiptap-project
```

#### 2. Install the dependencies
Time to install the `@tiptap/react` package and our [`StarterKit`](/api/extensions/starter-kit), which has the most popular extensions to get started quickly.

```bash
npm install @tiptap/react @tiptap/starter-kit
```

:::warning Are you using Yarn, pNPM, npm 6 or less?
Unfortunately your package manager does not install peer dependencies automatically and you have to install them by your own. Please check the following links to find out what dependencies are needed and how to install them: [@tiptap/core](https://tiptap.dev/installation/peer-dependencies#tiptapcore), [@tiptap/starter-kit](https://tiptap.dev/installation/peer-dependencies#tiptapstarter-kit)
:::

If you followed step 1 and 2, you can now start your project with `npm run start`, and open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) in your browser.

#### 3. Create a new component
To actually start using Tiptap we need to create a new component. Let’s call it `Tiptap` and put the following example code in `src/Tiptap.jsx`.

```jsx
// src/Tiptap.jsx
import { useEditor, EditorContent } from '@tiptap/react'
import StarterKit from '@tiptap/starter-kit'

const Tiptap = () => {
  const editor = useEditor({
    extensions: [
      StarterKit,
    ],
    content: '<p>Hello World!</p>',
  })

  return (
    <EditorContent editor={editor} />
  )
}

export default Tiptap
```

#### 4. Add it to your app
Finally, replace the content of `src/App.js` with our new `Tiptap` component.

```jsx
import Tiptap from './Tiptap.jsx'

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <Tiptap />
    </div>
  )
}

export default App
```

You should now see a pretty barebones example of Tiptap in your browser.

#### 5. The complete setup (optional)
