React

Introduction

The following guide describes how to integrate Tiptap with your React project. We’re using Create React App 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 to create a new project with all the steps listed below completed already.

# install with npm
npx create-react-app my-tiptap-project --template tiptap

# install with Yarn
yarn 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 will set up everything we need.

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

# or if you prefer Yarn
yarn 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, which has the most popular extensions to get started quickly.

# install with npm
npm install @tiptap/react @tiptap/starter-kit

# install with Yarn
yarn add @tiptap/react @tiptap/starter-kit

If you followed step 1 and 2, you can now start your project with npm run start or yarn start, and open 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.

// 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.

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)
