@paiondata/lexical-react v0.12.2

@paiondata/lexical-react

This package provides a set of components and hooks for Lexical that allow for text editing in React applications.

Getting started

Install lexical and @paiondata/lexical-react:

npm install --save lexical @paiondata/lexical-react

Below is an example of a basic plain text editor using lexical and @paiondata/lexical-react (try it yourself).

import {$getRoot, $getSelection} from 'lexical';
import {useEffect} from 'react';

import {LexicalComposer} from '@paiondata/lexical-react/LexicalComposer';
import {PlainTextPlugin} from '@paiondata/lexical-react/LexicalPlainTextPlugin';
import {ContentEditable} from '@paiondata/lexical-react/LexicalContentEditable';
import {HistoryPlugin} from '@paiondata/lexical-react/LexicalHistoryPlugin';
import {OnChangePlugin} from '@paiondata/lexical-react/LexicalOnChangePlugin';
import {useLexicalComposerContext} from '@paiondata/lexical-react/LexicalComposerContext';

const theme = {
  // Theme styling goes here
  ...
}

// When the editor changes, you can get notified via the
// LexicalOnChangePlugin!
function onChange(editorState) {
  editorState.read(() => {
    // Read the contents of the EditorState here.
    const root = $getRoot();
    const selection = $getSelection();

    console.log(root, selection);
  });
}

// Lexical React plugins are React components, which makes them
// highly composable. Furthermore, you can lazy load plugins if
// desired, so you don't pay the cost for plugins until you
// actually use them.
function MyCustomAutoFocusPlugin() {
  const [editor] = useLexicalComposerContext();

  

useEffect(() => {
    // Focus the editor when the effect fires!
    editor.focus();
  }, [editor]);

  return null;
}

// Catch any errors that occur during Lexical updates and log them
// or throw them as needed. If you don't throw them, Lexical will
// try to recover gracefully without losing user data.
function onError(error) {
  throw error;
}

function Editor() {
  const initialConfig = {
    namespace: 'MyEditor',
    theme,
    onError,
  };

return (
    <LexicalComposer initialConfig={initialConfig}>
      <PlainTextPlugin
        contentEditable={<ContentEditable />}
        placeholder={<div>Enter some text...</div>}
      />
      <OnChangePlugin onChange={onChange} />
      <HistoryPlugin />
      <MyCustomAutoFocusPlugin />
    </LexicalComposer>
  );
}
