## Introduction

[Novel](https://novel.sh/) is a Notion-style WYSIWYG editor with AI-powered autocompletions.

https://github.com/steven-tey/novel/assets/28986134/2099877f-4f2b-4b1c-8782-5d803d63be5c


## Installation

To use Novel in a project, you can run the following command to install the `novel` [NPM package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/novel):

```
npm i novel
```

Then, you can use it in your code like this:

```jsx
import { Editor } from "novel";

export default function App() {
return ;
}
```

The `Editor` is a React component that takes in the following props:

| Prop | Type | Description | Default |
| --------------------- | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `completionApi` | `string` | The API route to use for the OpenAI completion API. | `/api/generate` |
| `className` | `string` | Editor container classname. | `"relative min-h-[500px] w-full max-w-screen-lg border-stone-200 bg-white sm:mb-[calc(20vh)] sm:rounded-lg sm:border sm:shadow-lg"` |
| `defaultValue` | `JSONContent` or `string` | The default value to use for the editor. | [`defaultEditorContent`](https://github.com/steven-tey/novel/blob/main/packages/core/src/ui/editor/default-content.tsx) |
| `extensions` | `Extension[]` | A list of extensions to use for the editor, in addition to the [default Novel extensions](https://github.com/steven-tey/novel/blob/main/packages/core/src/ui/editor/extensions/index.tsx). | `[]` |
| `editorProps` | `EditorProps` | Props to pass to the underlying Tiptap editor, in addition to the [default Novel editor props](https://github.com/steven-tey/novel/blob/main/packages/core/src/ui/editor/props.ts). | `{}` |
| `onUpdate` | `(editor?: Editor) => void` | A callback function that is called whenever the editor is updated. | `() => {}` |
| `onDebouncedUpdate` | `(editor?: Editor) => void` | A callback function that is called whenever the editor is updated, but only after the defined debounce duration. | `() => {}` |
| `debounceDuration` | `number` | The duration (in milliseconds) to debounce the `onDebouncedUpdate` callback. | `750` |
| `storageKey` | `string` | The key to use for storing the editor's value in local storage. | `novel__content` |
| `disableLocalStorage` | `boolean` | Enabling this option will prevent read/write content from/to local storage. | `false` |

> **Note**: Make sure to define an API endpoint that matches the `completionApi` prop (default is `/api/generate`). This is needed for the AI autocompletions to work. Here's an example: https://github.com/steven-tey/novel/blob/main/apps/web/app/api/generate/route.ts

## Setting Up Locally

To set up Novel locally, you'll need to clone the repository and set up the following environment variables:

- `OPENAI_API_KEY` – your OpenAI API key (you can get one [here](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys))

If you've deployed this to Vercel, you can also use [`vc env pull`](https://vercel.com/docs/cli/env#exporting-development-environment-variables) to pull the environment variables from your Vercel project.

To run the app locally, you can run the following commands:

```
pnpm i
pnpm build
pnpm dev
```
