reactjsHow do I use a ReactJS Markdown editor?


To use a ReactJS Markdown editor you will need to install the React Markdown Editor package.

Once installed, you can use the following code to render the editor:

import React from 'react';
import ReactMarkdownEditor from 'react-markdown-editor';

class MyEditor extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <ReactMarkdownEditor />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

The editor will appear as a text area with a toolbar above it. The toolbar contains buttons for formatting text, creating links, and inserting images.

The editor also supports live preview of the Markdown text. To enable this feature, pass a preview prop to the ReactMarkdownEditor component:

<ReactMarkdownEditor preview />

You can also customize the editor's appearance by passing a styles prop to the ReactMarkdownEditor component:

const styles = {
  editor: {
    fontFamily: '"Fira code", "Fira Mono", monospace',
    fontSize: 16
  }
};

<ReactMarkdownEditor styles={styles} />
