README
A simple markdown editor with preview, implemented with React.js and TypeScript. This React Component aims to provide a simple Markdown editor with syntax highlighting support. This is based on `textarea` encapsulation, so it does not depend on any modern code editors such as Acs, CodeMirror, Monaco etc.
### Features
- ๐ Indent line or selected text by pressing tab key, with customizable indentation.
- โป๏ธ Based on `textarea` encapsulation, does not depend on any modern code editors.
- ๐ง Does not depend on the [`uiw`](https://github.com/uiwjs/uiw) component library.
- ๐ Automatic list on new lines.
- ๐ป GitHub flavored markdown support.
- ๐ Support dark-mode/night-mode **@v3.11.0+**.
- ๐ก Support [next.js](https://github.com/uiwjs/react-md-editor/issues/52#issuecomment-848969341), [Use examples](#support-nextjs) in [next.js](https://nextjs.org/).
- Line/lines duplication (Ctrl+D) and movement (Alt+UpArrow/DownArrow) **@v3.24.0+**.
### Quick Start
```bash
npm i @uiw/react-md-editor
```
or
```bash
yarn add @uiw/react-md-editor
```
### Using
[](https://codesandbox.io/embed/markdown-editor-for-react-izdd6?fontsize=14&hidenavigation=1&theme=dark)
[](https://uiwjs.github.io/react-md-editor/)
[](https://uiw.gitee.io/react-md-editor/)
```jsx mdx:preview
import React from "react";
import MDEditor from '@uiw/react-md-editor';
export default function App() {
const [value, setValue] = React.useState("**Hello world!!!**");
return (
);
}
```
### Special Markdown syntax
**Supports for CSS Style**
Use HTML comments `` to let Markdown support style customization.
```markdown
## Title
Markdown Supports **Style**
```
**Ignore content display via HTML comments**
Shown in GitHub readme, excluded in HTML.
```markdown
# Hello World
Hello World
Good!
```
Output:
```html
Hello World
Good!
```
### Security
Please note markdown needs to be sanitized if you do not **completely trust** your authors.
Otherwise, your app is vulnerable to XSS. This can be achieved by adding [rehype-sanitize](https://github.com/rehypejs/rehype-sanitize) as a plugin.
```jsx mdx:preview
import React from "react";
import MDEditor from '@uiw/react-md-editor';
import rehypeSanitize from "rehype-sanitize";
export default function App() {
const [value, setValue] = React.useState(`**Hello world!!!** `);
return (
);
}
```
### Remove Code Highlight
The following example can help you _exclude code highlighting code_ from being included in the bundle. `@uiw/react-md-editor/nohighlight` component does not contain the ~~`rehype-prism-plus`~~ code highlighting package, ~~`highlightEnable`~~, ~~`showLineNumbers`~~ and ~~`highlight line`~~ functions will no longer work. ([#586](https://github.com/uiwjs/react-md-editor/issues/586))
```jsx mdx:preview
import React from "react";
import MDEditor from '@uiw/react-md-editor/nohighlight';
const code = `**Hello world!!!**
\`\`\`js
function demo() {}
\`\`\`
`
export default function App() {
const [value, setValue] = React.useState(code);
return (
);
}
```
### Placeholder & maxLength
"Below is an example that sets the `placeholder` for the editor and defines the maximum input character length as `10` characters."
```jsx mdx:preview
import React from "react";
import MDEditor from '@uiw/react-md-editor';
export default function App() {
const [value, setValue] = React.useState("");
return (
);
}
```
### Custom Toolbars
[](https://codesandbox.io/embed/react-md-editor-custom-toolbars-m2n10?fontsize=14&hidenavigation=1&theme=dark)
```jsx mdx:preview
import React, { useState } from "react";
import MDEditor, { commands } from '@uiw/react-md-editor';
const title3 = {
name: 'title3',
keyCommand: 'title3',
buttonProps: { 'aria-label': 'Insert title3' },
icon: (
),
execute: (state, api) => {
let modifyText = `### ${state.selectedText}\n`;
if (!state.selectedText) {
modifyText = `### `;
}
api.replaceSelection(modifyText);
},
};
const title2 = {
name: 'title2',
keyCommand: 'title2',
render: (command, disabled, executeCommand) => {
return (
{
// evn.stopPropagation();
executeCommand(command, command.groupName)
}}
>
)
},
execute: (state, api) => {
let modifyText = `## ${state.selectedText}\n`;
if (!state.selectedText) {
modifyText = `## `;
}
api.replaceSelection(modifyText);
},
}
function SubChildren({ close, execute, getState, textApi, dispatch }) {
const [value, setValue] = useState('')
const insert = () => {
console.log('value:::', value)
textApi.replaceSelection(value)
}
return (
My Custom Toolbar
setValue(e.target.value)} />
{
dispatch({ $value: '~~~~~~' })
console.log('> execute: >>>>>', getState())
}}
>
State
Insert
close()}>Close
execute()}>Execute
);
}
const subChild = {
name: 'update',
groupName: 'update',
icon: (
),
children: (props) => ,
execute: (state, api) => {
console.log('>>>>>>update>>>>>', state)
},
buttonProps: { 'aria-label': 'Insert title'}
}
export default function App() {
const [value, setValue] = React.useState("Hello Markdown! `Tab` key uses default behavior");
return (
);
}
```
Customize the toolbar with `commands` and `extraCommands` props.
```jsx mdx:preview
import React from "react";
import MDEditor, { commands } from '@uiw/react-md-editor';
export default function App() {
const [value, setValue] = React.useState("Hello Markdown! `Tab` key uses default behavior");
return (
),
children: ({ close, execute, getState, textApi }) => {
return (
My Custom Toolbar
console.log('> execute: >>>>>', getState())}>State
close()}>Close
execute()}>Execute
);
},
execute: (state, api) => {
console.log('>>>>>>update>>>>>', state)
},
buttonProps: { 'aria-label': 'Insert title'}
}),
commands.divider, commands.fullscreen
]}
/>
);
}
```
re-render `toolbar` element.
```jsx mdx:preview
import React from "react";
import MDEditor, { commands } from '@uiw/react-md-editor';
export default function App() {
const [value, setValue] = React.useState("Hello Markdown! `Tab` key uses default behavior");
return (
{
if (command.keyCommand === 'code') {
return (
{
evn.stopPropagation();
executeCommand(command, command.groupName)
}}
>
Code
)
}
}
}}
/>
);
}
```

const randomid = () => parseInt(String(Math.random() * 1e15), 10).toString(36);
const Code = ({ inline, children = [], className, ...props }) => {
const demoid = useRef(`dome${randomid()}`);
const [container, setContainer] = useState(null);
const isMermaid =
className && /^language-mermaid/.test(className.toLocaleLowerCase());
const code = children

```js
// next.config.js
const removeImports = require('next-remove-imports')();
module.exports = removeImports({});
```
```jsx
import "@uiw/react-md-editor/markdown-editor.css";
import "@uiw/react-markdown-preview/markdown.css";
import dynamic from "next/dynamic";
import { useState } from "react";
import * as commands from "@uiw/react-md-editor/commands"
const MDEditor = dynamic(
() => import("@uiw/react-md-editor"),
{ ssr: false }
);
function HomePage() {
const [value, setValue] = useState("**Hello world!!!**");
return (
);
}
export default HomePage;
```
### Support dark-mode/night-mode
By default, the [`dark-mode`](https://github.com/jaywcjlove/dark-mode/) is automatically switched according to the system. If you need to switch manually, just set the `data-color-mode="dark"` parameter for body.
```html
```
```js
document.documentElement.setAttribute('data-color-mode', 'dark')
document.documentElement.setAttribute('data-color-mode', 'light')
```
Inherit custom color variables by adding [`.wmde-markdown-var`](https://github.com/uiwjs/react-markdown-preview/blob/a53be1e93fb1c2327649c4a6b084adb80679affa/src/styles/markdown.less#L1-L193) selector. Setting theme styles with `data-color-mode="light"`.
```html
```
