prosemirror-docx-web

This is a fork from prosemirror-docx

Export a prosemirror document to a Microsoft Word file, using docx.

Overview

prosemirror-docx has a similar structure to prosemirror-markdown, with a DocxSerializerState object that you write to as you walk the document. It is a light wrapper around https://docx.js.org/, which actually does the export. Currently prosemirror-docx is write only (i.e. can export to, but can’t read from *.docx), and has most of the basic nodes covered (see below).

Basic usage

import { defaultDocxSerializer, writeDocx } from 'prosemirror-docx';
import { EditorState } from 'prosemirror-state';
import { writeFileSync } from 'fs'; // Or some other way to write a file

// Set up your prosemirror state/document as you normally do
const state = EditorState.create({ schema: mySchema });

// If there are images, we will need to preload the buffers
const opts = {
  getImageBuffer(src: string) {
    return anImageBuffer;
  },
};

// Create a doc in memory, and then write it to disk
const wordDocument = defaultDocxSerializer.serialize(state.doc, opts);

writeDocx(wordDocument, (buffer) => {
  writeFileSync('HelloWorld.docx', buffer);
});

Extended usage

Instead of using the defaultDocxSerializer you can override or provide cusome serializers.

import { DocxSerializer, defaultNodes, defaultMarks } from 'prosemirror-docx';

const nodeSerializer = {
  ...defaultNodes,
  my_paragraph(state, node) {
    state.renderInline(node);
    state.closeBlock(node);
  },
};

export const myDocxSerializer = new DocxSerializer(nodeSerializer, defaultMarks);

The state is the DocxSerializerState and has helper methods to interact with docx.
