# About

Cedit is a component for react that uses the [Content Editable](https://developer.mozilla.org/pt-BR/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/Editable_content) feature for free editing of content within an HTML element. It is light and minimalist and aims to make the most of this wonderful resource in a clean and performative way.


# Motivation

The `content editable` is an excellent and super useful feature that I needed to implement many times but I always faced some basic usage problems such as caret positioning, etc. And even with some components in the community implementing this feature, the same issues still exist! The objective of this implementation is to skip this step and deliver a simple component, at the same time powerful and with the basic functioning expected.


# Installation

Cedit is a lightweight package with 0 dependencies.


### Using NPM

```sh
npm i cedit
```

### Using Yarn

```sh
yarn add cedit
```


# Use

The component has a simple interface, you can import the `CeditProps` interface for better specification.

All handlers return a value of type `Maybe` with keys `text`, `html` and `event`.


## Cedit

You can check a practical example in [Demo](https://hiukky.github.io/cedit/).


```tsx
import { useState } from 'react'
import { Cedit, CeditProps, Maybe } from 'cedit'

const App: React.FC = () => {
const [value, setValue] = useState('')

return (
setValue(html)}
/>
)
}
```


## Provider

If you want to control more than one editor, you can use `CeditProvider` to wrap all components and take advantage of features like autofocus. For now the provider does not offer extra features, but it will be implemented in the future.


```tsx
import { Cedit, CeditProps, CeditProvider, Maybe } from 'cedit'

const App: React.FC = () => {
return (

{/* Editors */}

)
}
```
