mui-rte
The Material-UI Rich Text Editor and Viewer
NOTE: This is a fork of a fork to get rid of MUIv4 dependencies
mui-rte is a complete text editor and viewer for the MUI library (formerly Material-UI) based on draft-js
and written in Typescript. It is ready to use out of the box yet supports user defined blocks, styles, autocomplete strategies, async/sync custom atomic blocks, callbacks, and decorators as well as toolbar and theme customization to enhance the editor to all needs.
Installation
npm install mui-rte --save
Install the peer dependencies: @mui/material
, @mui/icons-material
, tss-react
, react
and react-dom
. Also you will need to install the peer dependencies for MUI: @emotion/react
and @emotion/styled
.
Demo
Usage
import { createTheme, ThemeProvider } from "@mui/material/styles";
import MUIRichTextEditor from "mui-rte";
const myTheme = createTheme({
// Set up your custom MUI theme here
});
ReactDOM.render(
<ThemeProvider theme={myTheme}>
<MUIRichTextEditor label="Start typing..." />
</ThemeProvider>,
document.getElementById("root")
);
You can load default content as the following example. The value should be a stringified RawDraftContentState
object:
import MUIRichTextEditor from "mui-rte";
const data = getContentStateAsStringFromSomewhere();
ReactDOM.render(
<ThemeProvider theme={myTheme}>
<MUIRichTextEditor defaultValue={data} label="Start typing..." />
</ThemeProvider>,
document.getElementById("root")
);
Material-UI v4 compatibility
mui-rte
version 2.x is compatible with MUI (v5) only. You can still use version 1.x for Material-UI v4. Current code using mui-rte
version 1.x should be compatible with version 2.x, the only breaking change is that it requires to be wrapped on a ThemeProvider
as shown in the examples.
Examples
Check the examples directory for more.
Custom Controls
You can define your custom inline styles, blocks, atomic blocks and callback actions to the editor. Just select an icon from @mui/icons-material
or create your own FunctionComponent
and define your rules.
Adding a custom inline style
This sample adds a control to change the background color and font color of the typed or selected text:
import MUIRichTextEditor from "mui-rte";
import InvertColorsIcon from "@mui/icons-material/InvertColors";
<MUIRichTextEditor
controls={["my-style"]}
customControls={[
{
name: "my-style",
icon: <InvertColorsIcon />,
type: "inline",
inlineStyle: {
backgroundColor: "black",
color: "white",
},
},
]}
/>;
Adding a custom block
This sample adds a block to the editor based on a React Element
:
import MUIRichTextEditor from "mui-rte";
import TableChartIcon from "@mui/icons-material/TableChart";
const MyBlock = (props) => {
return (
<div
style={{
padding: 10,
backgroundColor: "#ebebeb",
}}
>
My Block content is:
{props.children}
</div>
);
};
<MUIRichTextEditor
controls={["my-block"]}
customControls={[
{
name: "my-block",
icon: <TableChartIcon />,
type: "block",
blockWrapper: <MyBlock />,
},
]}
/>;
Adding a custom atomic block (Async)
It is possible to insert custom blocks based on asynchronous behavior using the insertAtomicBlockAsync
API. The above example shows an example on how to upload an image and use the MUIRichTextEditor
default image control for further edition. You can use this behavior to upload a file when dropping it inside the editor and render it as an image entity after upload.
Check this other sample that shows how to add a @mui/material
Card with asynchronous downloaded content.
Adding a custom atomic block (Sync)
Check this sample that shows how to create a control to add a @mui/material
Card component to the editor.
Adding a custom callback control
This sample adds a control that will trigger a custom callback function to clear the editor state:
import MUIRichTextEditor from "mui-rte";
import DoneIcon from "@mui/icons-material/Done";
import { EditorState } from "draft-js";
<MUIRichTextEditor
controls={["my-callback"]}
customControls={[
{
name: "my-callback",
icon: <DoneIcon />,
type: "callback",
onClick: (editorState, name, anchor) => {
console.log(`Clicked ${name} control`);
return EditorState.createEmpty();
},
},
]}
/>;
Autocomplete strategies
You can define autocomplete strategies to present suggested content lists based on the text input. Just set your trigger character, add some search keys and the content to insert and the editor will do everything for you. You can navigate through suggestions using the keyboard arrows and finally press 'Enter' to insert your content into the editor.
Simple strategy example
This is an example to show emoji suggestions when the user start typing a text like ':face', ':joy', or ':grin':
import MUIRichTextEditor from 'mui-rte'
const emojis = [
{
keys: ["face", "grin"],
value: "😀",
content: "😀",
},
{
keys: ["face", "joy"],
value: "😂",
content: "😂",
},
{
keys: ["face", "sweat"],
value: "😅",
content: "😅",
}
]
<MUIRichTextEditor
autocomplete={{
strategies: [
{
items: emojis,
triggerChar: ":"
}
]
}}
/>
Check this sample that shows how to add multiple autocomplete strategies to a single editor.
Custom Decorators
You can define custom decorators to apply styles and/or functionality based on a provided regular expression.
Adding custom functionality with a decorator
To add some functionality when a user inputs a #hashtag
use the following example. In this case, everytime the user inputs a word starting with a #
character it will be automatically converted into a styled link:
import MUIRichTextEditor from "mui-rte";
const MyHashTagDecorator = (props) => {
const hashtagUrl = "http://myurl/" + props.decoratedText;
return (
<a
href={hashtagUrl}
style={{
color: "green",
}}
>
{props.children}
</a>
);
};
<MUIRichTextEditor
label="Type something here..."
decorators={[
{
component: MyHashTagDecorator,
regex: /\#[\w]+/g,
},
]}
/>;
Inline toolbar
The editor includes an inline toolbar option which renders a pop-up inside the editor area when the user makes a selection. The inline toolbar supports user defined controls. Notice that only inline
type controls will be rendered. The controls displayed on the main toolbar can be different from the ones in the inline toolbar. You can also hide the main toolbar and just enable the inline toolbar.
import MUIRichTextEditor from "mui-rte";
<MUIRichTextEditor label="Type something here..." inlineToolbar={true} />;
Styling the editor
You can style the editor using the Material-UI
theming feature. First create a theme with createMuiTheme
and override classes such as root
, container
, editor
, and editorContainer
. Check the examples directory for more.
import { createMuiTheme, MuiThemeProvider } from '@mui/material/styles'
import MUIRichTextEditor from 'mui-rte'
const defaultTheme = createMuiTheme()
Object.assign(defaultTheme, {
overrides: {
MUIRichTextEditor: {
root: {
marginTop: 20,
width: "80%"
},
editor: {
borderBottom: "1px solid gray"
}
}
}
})
<MuiThemeProvider theme={defaultTheme}>
<MUIRichTextEditor
label="Type something here..."
/>
</MuiThemeProvider>
