Draft.js to Markdown to Draft.js converter

Converts rich text content between Draft.js blocks and Markdown forked from draftjs-md-converter to support video embed from youtube and vimeo (at the moment).

npm i draftjs-md-converter-support-video

Support

The following inline styles are supported:

• bold
• italic
• H1 - H6

The following block styles are supported:

• ordered list
• unordered list
• block quote

The following media types are supported:

• images
• videos (youtube and vimeo embed urls)

Usage

Converting from Markdown to Draft.js

mdToDraftjs(markdown: String): RawDraftContentState

Use convertToRaw from the draft-js library to convert the resulting RawDraftContentState into a draft-js ContentState.

Converting from Draft.js to Markdown

draftjsToMd(rawData: RawDraftContentState): String

Use convertFromRaw from the draft-js library to get the raw RawDraftContentState to then pass into the converter.

Custom dictionaries

The default Markdown dictionary is

{
  BOLD: '__',
  ITALIC: '*'
};

The inline styles can be extended or overridden by passing a custom dictionary object as a second optional argument to draftjsToMd, e.g.

const myMdDict = {
  BOLD: '**',
  STRIKETHROUGH: '~~'
};
const markdown = draftjsToMd(blocks, myMdDict);

NOTE: at this point you cannot override block styles!

Example

[---]

import { mdToDraftjs, draftjsToMd } from 'draftjs-md-converter';
import { EditorState, ContentState, convertToRaw, convertFromRaw } from 'draft-js';

[---]

constructor(props) {
  super(props);

  // some default value in markdown
  const defaultValue = this.props.defaultValue;
  const rawData = mdToDraftjs(defaultValue);
  const contentState = convertFromRaw(rawData);
  const newEditorState = EditorState.createWithContent(contentState);

  this.state = {
    editorState: newEditorState,
  };
  this.onChange = (editorState) => {
    this.props.onChange(this.getMarkdown());
    this.setState({ editorState });
  };
}

[---]

getMarkdown() {
  const content = this.state.editorState.getCurrentContent();
  return draftjsToMd(convertToRaw(content));
}
