🚀 Quick Start

To use the AppFlowy Web Editor, import the Editor and EditorProvider components from the package and wrap your app

Note: Using the editor requires the EditorProvider component. Therefore, each Editor component needs to be wrapped by the corresponding EditorProvider

import { Editor, EditorProvider } from '@appflowyinc/editor';

const App = () => {
  return <EditorProvider>
    <Editor/>
  </EditorProvider>
};

export default App;

🎨 Custom Toolbar

The AppFlowy Web Editor provides a toolbar with various options for editing content. You can customize the toolbar by passing the ToolbarComponent prop to the Editor component.

import { Editor, EditorProvider, FixedToolbar } from '@appflowyinc/editor';

const App = () => {
  return <EditorProvider>
    <Editor ToolbarComponent={FixedToolbar}/>
  </EditorProvider>;
};

export default App;

📚 Apply Data

You can get editor from the useEditor hook and apply data to the editor.

import { Editor, EditorProvider, useEditor, NodeType } from '@appflowyinc/editor';

const App = () => {
  const editor = useEditor();

  useEffect(() => {
    editor.applyData({
      type: NodeType.Paragraph,
      delta: [
        {
          insert: 'Hello, World!',
        },
      ],
      children: []
    });

    // or apply markdown
    editor.applyMarkdown('# Hello, World!');
  }, []);

  return
  <Editor/>;
};

const Main = () => {
  return <EditorProvider>
    <App/>
  </EditorProvider>;
};

export default App;

💡 Theme Switching

The AppFlowy Web Editor supports theme switching between light and dark modes. You can customize the themes by passing the theme prop to the Editor component.

import { Editor, EditorProvider } from '@appflowyinc/editor';

const App = () => {
  return <EditorProvider>
    <Editor theme={'dark'}/>
  </EditorProvider>;
};

export default App;

🌍 Multi-language Usage

The AppFlowy Web Editor supports multiple languages. You can customize the language by passing the language prop to the Editor component.

import { Editor, EditorProvider } from '@appflowyinc/editor';
// Optionally, you can import the language resources from the package
import zh from '@appflowyinc/editor/locales/zh-CN.json';

import hostI18n from 'i18next';

const App = () => {
  return <I18nextProvider i18n={hostI18n}>
    <EditorProvider>
      <Editor locale={{
        // The language code.
        lang: 'zh-CN',
        // Optionally, you can pass the language resources or let it use the default resources
        resources: zh,
      }}/>
    </EditorProvider>
  </I18nextProvider>;
};

export default App;
