Usage

EdiText is highly customizable. You can see more examples here. Here is a basic usage:

import EdiText from 'react-editext'

class Example extends Component {
  onSave = val => {
    console.log('Edited Value -> ', val)
  }
  render () {
    return (
      <div className="container">
        <EdiText
          type="text"
          value='What is real? How do you define real?'
          onSave={this.onSave}
        />
      </div>
    )
  }
}

You can customize almost everything based on your needs. Please navigate to Props section. I mean, just scroll down.

Styling with `styled-components`

You can style your <EdiText/> components with styled-components or similar libraries. You can either target internal HTML elements by their type ( or order) , or you can select them by attribute values.

Each customizable HTML element has a editext=xxx attribute. Use below as a reference table:

Attr. Value	Description
`view-container`	the container in `view` mode
`edit-container`	the container in `edit` mode
`button-container`	the container for the `save` and `cancel` buttons
`edit-button`	use this to style the edit button
`save-button`	use this to style the save button
`cancel-button`	use this to style the cancel button
`input`	There is only one input. You can select it directly or just use this attr value.
`hint`	To style the hint container.

Usage:

 button[editext="cancel-button"] {
    &:hover {
      background: crimson;
      color: #fff;
    }
  }

  div[editext="view-container"] {
    background: #6293C3;
    padding: 15px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    color: #fff;
  }

  input, textarea { /** or input[editext="input"] {} */
    background: #1D2225;
    color: #F4C361;
    font-weight: bold;
    border-radius: 5px;
  }

See the example code.
