Usage

View the demo code for a full example.

Not required, but useless without it, the onChange callback is the only option you need to set.

import React from 'react'
import SimpleMDE from '@amrn/react-simplemde'

<SimpleMDE
  onChange={this.handleChange}
/>

Options

Set additional SimpleMDE options with an options prop.

Note - while SimpleMDE options has an initialValue option, this component only takes a value prop which is set as the initialValue on first render.

import React from 'react'
import SimpleMDE from '@amrn/react-simplemde'

<SimpleMDE
  onChange={this.handleChange}
  value={this.state.textValue}
  options={{
    autofocus: true,
    spellChecker: false,
    // etc.
  }}
/>

You can include key maps using the extraKeys prop. Read more at https://codemirror.net/doc/manual.html#option_extraKeys

extraKeys = {
  Up: function(cm) {
    cm.replaceSelection(" surprise. ");
  },
  Down: function(cm) {
    cm.replaceSelection(" surprise again! ");
  }
};

<SimpleMDE
  onChange={this.handleChange}
  extraKeys={extraKeys}
/>
