Introduction

The following guide describes how to integrate tiptap with your Next.js project.

Requirements

  • Node installed on your machine
  • Experience with React

1. Create a project (optional)

If you already have an existing Next.js project, thats fine too. Just skip this step and proceed with the next step.

For the sake of this guide, lets start with a new Next.js project called tiptap-example. The following command sets up everything we need to get started.

# create a project
npx create-next-app tiptap-example

# change directory
cd tiptap-example

2. Install the dependencies

Now that we have a standard boilerplate set up we can get started on getting tiptap up and running! For this we will need to install two packages: @tiptap/react and @tipta/starter-kit which includes all the extensions you need 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 dev or yarn dev, and open http://localhost:3000/ in your favorite browser. This might be different, if youre working with an existing project.

3. Create a new component

To actually start using tiptap, youll need to add a new component to your app. To do this, first create a directory called components/. Now it's time to create our component which we'll call Tiptap. To do this put the following example code in components/Tiptap.js.

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

Now, lets replace the content of pages/index.js with the following example code to use our new Tiptap component in our app.

import Tiptap from '../components/Tiptap'

export default function Home() {
    return (
         <Tiptap />
    )
}

You should now see tiptap in your browser. Time to give yourself a pat on the back! :)
