import PluginEditor from "draft-js-plugins-editor";
import createListPlugin from "draft-js-list-plugin";
// ...

const listPlugin = createListPlugin();
const plugins = [listPlugin];

export default class Editor extends Component {
  // ...

  render() {
    const { editorState } = this.state;

    return (
      <PluginEditor
        // ...
        editorState={editorState}
        plugins={plugins}
      />
    );
  }
}

See Editor.tsx for a full example.
