Collaborative editing

Introduction

This example shows how you can use Tiptap to let multiple users collaborate in the same document in real-time.

It connects all clients to a WebSocket server and merges changes to the document with the power of Y.js. If you want to learn more about collaborative text editing, check out our guide on collaborative editing.

Example

Backend

In case you’re wondering what kind of sorcery you need on the server to achieve this, here is the whole backend code for the demo:

:::warning Request early access Our plug & play collaboration backend hocuspocus is still work in progress. If you want to give it a try, get early access. :::

import { Server } from '@hocuspocus/server'
import { RocksDB } from '@hocuspocus/extension-rocksdb'

const server = Server.configure({
  port: 80,
  extensions: [
    new RocksDB({ path: './database' }),
  ],
})

server.listen()
