## Blog Post

Here's a blog post with a quickstart guide: https://medium.com/unlayer-blog/creating-a-drag-n-drop-email-editor-with-react-db1e9eb42386

## Installation

The easiest way to use React Email Editor is to install it from NPM and include it in your own React build process.

```
npm install react-email-editor --save
```

## Usage

Require the EmailEditor component and render it with JSX:

```javascript
import React, { useRef } from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';

import EmailEditor, { EditorRef, EmailEditorProps } from 'react-email-editor';

const App = (props) => {
const emailEditorRef = useRef(null);

const exportHtml = () => {
const unlayer = emailEditorRef.current?.editor;

unlayer?.exportHtml((data) => {
const { design, html } = data;
console.log('exportHtml', html);
});
};

const onReady: EmailEditorProps['onReady'] = (unlayer) => {
// editor is ready
// you can load your template here;
// the design json can be obtained by calling
// unlayer.loadDesign(callback) or unlayer.exportHtml(callback)

// const templateJson = { DESIGN JSON GOES HERE };
// unlayer.loadDesign(templateJson);
};

return (



Export HTML



);
};

render(, document.getElementById('app'));
```

See the [example source](https://github.com/unlayer/react-email-editor/blob/master/demo/src/example/index.tsx) for a reference implementation.

### Methods

All unlayer methods are available in the editor instance (`emailEditorRef.current.editor`). See the [Unlayer Docs](https://docs.unlayer.com/) for more information, or log the object in the console to explore it. Here are the most used ones:

| method | params | description |
| -------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| **loadDesign** | `Object data` | Takes the design JSON and loads it in the editor |
| **saveDesign** | `Function callback` | Returns the design JSON in a callback function |
| **exportHtml** | `Function callback` | Returns the design HTML and JSON in a callback function |

### Properties

- `editorId` {`String`} HTML div id of the container where the editor will be embedded (optional)
- `minHeight` {`String`} minimum height to initialize the editor with (default 500px)
- `onLoad` {`Function`} called when the editor instance is created
- `onReady` {`Function`} called when the editor has finished loading
- `options` {`Object`} options passed to the Unlayer editor instance (default {})
- See the [Unlayer Docs](https://docs.unlayer.com/docs/getting-started#configuration-options) for all available options.
- `style` {`Object`} style object for the editor container (default {})

## Custom Tools

Custom tools can help you add your own content blocks to the editor. Every application is different and needs different tools to reach it's full potential. [Learn More](https://docs.unlayer.com/docs/custom-tools)
