Using Vanilla JavaScript

import { Editor } from '@tiptap/core'

new Editor({
  extensions: [
    FloatingMenu.configure({
      element: document.querySelector('.menu'),
    }),
  ],
})

Custom logic

Customize the logic for showing the menu with the shouldShow option. For components, shouldShow can be passed as a prop.

FloatingMenu.configure({
  shouldShow: ({ editor, view, state, oldState }) => {
    // show the floating within any paragraph
    return editor.isActive('paragraph')
  },
})

Multiple menus

Use multiple menus by setting an unique pluginKey.

import { Editor } from '@tiptap/core'
import FloatingMenu from '@tiptap/extension-floating-menu'

new Editor({
  extensions: [
    FloatingMenu.configure({
      pluginKey: 'floatingMenuOne',
      element: document.querySelector('.menu-one'),
    }),
    FloatingMenu.configure({
      pluginKey: 'floatingMenuTwo',
      element: document.querySelector('.menu-two'),
    }),
  ],
})

Alternatively you can pass a ProseMirror PluginKey.

import { Editor } from '@tiptap/core'
import FloatingMenu from '@tiptap/extension-floating-menu'
import { PluginKey } from 'prosemirror-state'

new Editor({
  extensions: [
    FloatingMenu.configure({
      pluginKey: new PluginKey('floatingMenuOne'),
      element: document.querySelector('.menu-one'),
    }),
    FloatingMenu.configure({
      pluginKey: new PluginKey('floatingMenuOne'),
      element: document.querySelector('.menu-two'),
    }),
  ],
})
