This package provides a WYSIWYM Editor for HTML and Markdown. This editor can be used as a Field Plugin or as an Inline Field in websites built with TinaCMS.
Note: The
react-tinacms-editor
package is quite large. Whether you're using the Field Plugin or the Inline Field it is recommended that you use dynamic imports to reduce your JS bundle size.
yarn add react-tinacms-editor
This package provides two field plugins for TinaCMS: MarkdownFieldPlugin
and HtmlFieldPlugin
.
This is the simplest approach to registering plugins:
import { MarkdownFieldPlugin, HtmlFieldPlugin } from 'react-tinacms-editor'
cms.plugins.add(MarkdownFieldPlugin)
cms.plugins.add(HtmlFieldplugin)
The react-tinacms-editor
is a large package so it is recommended that load the plugins dynamicallyj:
import("react-tinacms-editor").then(
({ MarkdownFieldPlugin, HtmlFieldPlugin }) => {
cms.plugins.add(MarkdownFieldPlugin)
cms.plugins.add(HtmlFieldplugin)
}
)
interface Config {
component: 'markdown' | 'html'
name: string
label?: string
description?: string
}
Option | Description |
---|---|
component | The name of the plugin component. Either 'markdown' or 'html' . |
name | The path to some value in the data being edited. |
label | A human readable label for the field. Defaults to the name . (Optional) |
description | Description that expands on the purpose of the field or prompts a specific action. (Optional) |
Once registered you will be able to use the plugins in your Forms:
const formConfig = {
fields: [
{
name: "description",
label: "Description",
component: "html",
},
{
name: "body",
label: "Blog Body",
component: "markdown",
}
]
}
These will both show up in your sidebar looking roughly like this:
The InlineWysiwyg
is a React inline editing component for Markdown and HTML.
interface InlineWysiwygConfig {
name: string
children: any
sticky?: boolean
format?: 'markdown' | 'html'
imageProps?: WysiwysImageProps
}
interface WysiwygImageProps {
upload?: (files: File[]) => Promise<string[]>
previewUrl?: (url: string) => string
}
Key | Description |
---|---|
name | The path to some value in the data being edited. |
children | Child components to render. |
sticky? | A boolean determining whether the Wysiwyg Toolbar 'sticks' to the top of the page on scroll. |
format? | This value denotes whether Markdown or HTML will be rendered. |
imageProps? | Configures how images in the Wysiwyg are uploaded and rendered. |
Below is an example of how an InlineWysiwyg
field could be defined in an Inline Form.
import ReactMarkdown from 'react-markdown'
import { useForm, usePlugin } from 'tinacms'
import { InlineForm } from 'react-tinacms-inline'
import { InlineWysiwyg } from 'react-tinacms-editor'
// Example 'Page' Component
export function Page(props) {
const [data, form] = useForm(props.data)
usePlugin(form)
return (
<InlineForm form={form}>
<InlineWysiwyg name="markdownBody" format="markdown">
<ReactMarkdown source={data.markdownBody} />
</InlineWysiwyg>
</InlineForm>
)
}
The react-tinacms-editor
is a large package so it is recommended that you make sure it's only being loaded when necessary. The example below will make sure that the editor is only loaded if the CMS is actually enabled, saving the visistors to your website from the extra load time.
your-app/src/components/InlineWysiwyg.js
import React from 'react'
import { useCMS } from 'tinacms'
export function InlineWysiwyg(props) {
const cms = useCMS()
const [{ InlineWysiwyg }, setEditor] = React.useState({})
React.useEffect(() => {
if (!InlineWysiwyg && cms.enabled) {
import('react-tinacms-editor').then(setEditor)
}
}, [cms.enabled])
if (InlineWysiwyg) {
return (
<InlineWysiwyg {...props}/>
)
}
return props.children
}
Why do I have to load the editor dynamically myself?
Code splitting and dynamic imports are handled by the website's JavaScript bundlers (e.g. rollup, webpack, etc.). Since the package does not load itself into the application, it is unfortunately not possible to provide this behaviour in the package itself.
