MarkdownEditor is a powerful tool for working with Markdown, which combines WYSIWYG and Markup modes. This means that you can create and edit content in a convenient visual mode, as well as have full control over the markup.

• Support for the basic Markdown and YFM syntax.
• Extensibility through the use of ProseMirror and CodeMirror engines.
• The ability to work in WYSIWYG and Markup modes for maximum flexibility.

npm install @gravity-ui/markdown-editor

Please note that to start using the package, your project must also have the following installed: @diplodoc/transform, react, react-dom, @gravity-ui/uikit, @gravity-ui/components and some others. Check out the peerDependencies section of package.json for accurate information.

The markdown editor is supplied as a React hook to create an instance of editor and a component for rendering the view.
To set up styling and theme see UIKit docs.

import React from 'react';
import {useMarkdownEditor, MarkdownEditorView} from '@gravity-ui/markdown-editor';

function Editor({onSubmit}) {
  const editor = useMarkdownEditor({allowHTML: false});

  React.useEffect(() => {
    function submitHandler() {
      // Serialize current content to markdown markup
      const value = editor.getValue();
      onSubmit(value);
    }

    editor.on('submit', submitHandler);
    return () => {
      editor.off('submit', submitHandler);
    };
  }, [onSubmit]);

  return <MarkdownEditorView stickyToolbar autofocus editor={editor} />;
}

1. Install Nodejs environment, version is specified in .nvmrc file. We recommend using NVM or a similar tool.
2. Install pnpm, version is specified in package.json in "packageManager" property.
3. Install dependencies: pnpm i
4. Run storybook dev-server: pnpm start

To set up internationalization, you just need to use the configure:

import {configure} from '@gravity-ui/markdown-editor';

configure({
  lang: 'ru',
});

Don't forget to call configure() from UIKit and other UI libraries.

A dual-mode Markdown editor for React that combines a WYSIWYG mode (ProseMirror) and a raw markup mode (CodeMirror), with support for basic Markdown and YFM.

• Editing Markdown/YFM content with a switchable visual (WYSIWYG) and source (markup) view.
• You need an extensible editor: custom marks, nodes, toolbar items, and extensions (HTML, LaTeX, Mermaid, GPT) via the ProseMirror/CodeMirror engines.
• Rendering the editor UI: create the instance with useMarkdownEditor and render it with MarkdownEditorView.

• Read-only rendering of Markdown to HTML with no editing — transform it with @diplodoc/transform and render the output instead.
• Plain multiline text input — use TextArea from @gravity-ui/uikit.
• Rich-text that is not Markdown/YFM — this editor is Markdown-first.

• It is a hook plus a view, not one component. Create the instance with useMarkdownEditor(...) and pass it to <MarkdownEditorView editor={editor} />; there is no single <MarkdownEditor> you render directly.
• Read the value via the instance, not a controlled value prop. Call editor.getValue() (e.g. on the submit event) to serialize to Markdown; the editor manages its own state.
• Peer dependencies are required. Your project must provide @diplodoc/transform, @gravity-ui/uikit, @gravity-ui/components, react, and react-dom — check the peerDependencies in package.json.
• Styles and i18n come from uikit. Set up theming/styles per the uikit docs and call configure({lang}) from both this package and @gravity-ui/uikit.

Agent-readable documentation for the installed version is located in node_modules/@gravity-ui/markdown-editor/build/docs/INDEX.md.
