TipTap editor

@mantine/tiptap provides a UI for Tiptap. RichTextEditor component works with Editor instance of tiptap. This means that you have full control over the editor state and configuration with useEditor hook.

In other words, RichTextEditor component does not manage state for you, controls just execute operations on the Editor instance. If you want to implement something that is related to state or component value (e.g. controlled mode, value transforms to HTML/Markdown), you should look for documentation on tiptap.dev website.

function Demo() {
const editor = useEditor({
extensions: [
Link,
// ... other extensions
],
});
return <RichTextEditor editor={editor}>{/* content */}</RichTextEditor>;
}

Text color

To use text color you will need to install additional packages:

yarn add @tiptap/extension-color @tiptap/extension-text-style
npm install @tiptap/extension-color @tiptap/extension-text-style

You can use the following controls to change text color:

  • RichTextEditor.ColorPicker – allows to pick colors from given predefined color swatches and with ColorPicker component
  • RichTextEditor.Color – allows to apply given color with one click
  • RichTextEditor.UnsetColor – clears color styles
import { useEditor } from '@tiptap/react';
import { IconColorPicker } from '@tabler/icons-react';
import { Color } from '@tiptap/extension-color';
import TextStyle from '@tiptap/extension-text-style';
import StarterKit from '@tiptap/starter-kit';
import { RichTextEditor } from '@mantine/tiptap';
function Demo() {
const editor = useEditor({

</RichTextEditor.ControlsGroup>
<RichTextEditor.UnsetColor />
</RichTextEditor.Toolbar>
<RichTextEditor.Content />
</RichTextEditor>
);
}

Code highlight

To use code highlight you will need to install additional packages:

yarn add lowlight @tiptap/extension-code-block-lowlight
npm install lowlight @tiptap/extension-code-block-lowlight
import { RichTextEditor } from '@mantine/tiptap';
import { useEditor } from '@tiptap/react';
import StarterKit from '@tiptap/starter-kit';
import CodeBlockLowlight from '@tiptap/extension-code-block-lowlight';
import { lowlight } from 'lowlight';
import tsLanguageSyntax from 'highlight.js/lib/languages/typescript';
// register languages that your are planning to use
lowlight.registerLanguage('ts', tsLanguageSyntax);
function escapeHtml(unsafe: string) {
return unsafe
.replace(/&/g, '&amp;')
.replace(/</g, '&lt;')
.replace(/>/g, '&gt;')
.replace(/"/g, '&quot;')
.replace(/'/g, '&#039;');
}
const codeExample =
escapeHtml(`// Valid braces Kata – https://www.codewars.com/kata/5277c8a221e209d3f6000b56
const pairs: Record<string, string> = {
'[': ']',
'{': '}',
'(': ')',
};
const openBraces = Object.keys(pairs);
export function validBraces(braces: string) {
const opened: string[] = [];
for (let i = 0; i < braces.length; i += 1) {
const brace = braces[i];
if (openBraces.includes(brace)) {
opened.push(brace);
continue;
}
if (pairs[opened[opened.length - 1]] !== brace) {
return false
}
opened.pop();
}
return opened.length === 0;
}`);
function Demo() {
const editor = useEditor({
extensions: [
StarterKit,
CodeBlockLowlight.configure({
lowlight,
}),
],
content: `<p>Regular paragraph</p><pre><code>${codeExample}</code></pre>`,
});
return (
<RichTextEditor editor={editor}>
<RichTextEditor.Toolbar>
<RichTextEditor.ControlsGroup>
<RichTextEditor.CodeBlock />
</RichTextEditor.ControlsGroup>
</RichTextEditor.Toolbar>
<RichTextEditor.Content />
</RichTextEditor>
);
}

Code highlight styles

You can change code highlight styles using Styles API:

Typography styles

By default, RichTextEditor renders content with TypographyStylesProvider and some additional styles. You can disable these styles by setting withTypographyStyles={false}:

import { RichTextEditor } from '@mantine/tiptap';
import { useEditor } from '@tiptap/react';
function Demo() {
const editor = useEditor({
extensions: [
// ... your extensions
],
});
return (
<RichTextEditor editor={editor} withTypographyStyles={false}>
{/* content */}
</RichTextEditor>
);
}

Then you will be able to add your own styles either with global styles or with Styles API:

// ...
<RichTextEditor
editor={editor}
withTypographyStyles={false}
styles={{
content: {
'& p': {
color: 'silver',
},
},
}}
>
{/* content */}
</RichTextEditor>

Bubble menu

You can use BubbleMenu component with any RichTextEditor controls. Bubble menu will appear near a selection of text:

import { useEditor, BubbleMenu } from '@tiptap/react';
import StarterKit from '@tiptap/starter-kit';
import { RichTextEditor, Link } from '@mantine/tiptap';
function Demo() {
const editor = useEditor({
extensions: [StarterKit, Link],
content: '<p>Select some text to see bubble menu</p>',
});
return (
<RichTextEditor editor={editor}>
{editor && (
<BubbleMenu editor={editor}>
<RichTextEditor.ControlsGroup>
<RichTextEditor.Bold />
<RichTextEditor.Italic />
<RichTextEditor.Link />
</RichTextEditor.ControlsGroup>
</BubbleMenu>
)}
<RichTextEditor.Content />
</RichTextEditor>
);
}

Floating menu

You can use FloatingMenu component with any RichTextEditor controls. Floating menu will appear in an empty line:

import { useEditor, FloatingMenu } from '@tiptap/react';
import StarterKit from '@tiptap/starter-kit';
import { RichTextEditor, Link } from '@mantine/tiptap';
function Demo() {
const editor = useEditor({
extensions: [StarterKit, Link],
content: '<p>Enter a new line to see floating menu</p>',
});
return (
<RichTextEditor editor={editor}>
{editor && (
<FloatingMenu editor={editor}>
<RichTextEditor.ControlsGroup>
<RichTextEditor.H1 />
<RichTextEditor.H2 />
<RichTextEditor.BulletList />
</RichTextEditor.ControlsGroup>
</FloatingMenu>
)}
<RichTextEditor.Content />
</RichTextEditor>
);
}

Sticky toolbar

Set sticky prop on RichTextEditor.Toolbar component to make toolbar sticky, control top property with stickyOffset. For example, on mantine.dev documentation website there is a header with 60px height (converted to rem), in this case we will need to set stickyOffset={60} to make sticky position correctly with fixed positioned element.

Editor context

Use useRichTextEditorContext hook to get Editor from the context. This hook can be used to create custom control or run any operations supported by the Tiptap editor API.

import { useRichTextEditorContext } from '@mantine/tiptap';
import { Button } from '@mantine/core';
function Demo() {
const { editor } = useRichTextEditorContext();
return <Button onClick={() => editor?.chain().focus().toggleBold().run()}>Make bold</Button>;
}

Custom controls

Use RichTextEditor.Control component to create custom controls. It supports all props supported by button element and has active prop to indicate active state. Note that you will need to set aria-label attribute to make control visible for screen readers.

import { useEditor } from '@tiptap/react';
import StarterKit from '@tiptap/starter-kit';
import { RichTextEditor, useRichTextEditorContext } from '@mantine/tiptap';
import { IconStar } from '@tabler/icons-react';
function InsertStarControl() {
const { editor } = useRichTextEditorContext();
return (
<RichTextEditor.Control
onClick={() => editor?.commands.insertContent('⭐')}
aria-label="Insert star emoji"
title="Insert star emoji"
>
<IconStar stroke={1.5} size="1rem" />
</RichTextEditor.Control>
);
}
function Demo() {
const editor = useEditor({
extensions: [StarterKit],
content: '<p>Click control to insert star emoji</p>',
});
return (
<RichTextEditor editor={editor}>
<RichTextEditor.Toolbar>
<InsertStarControl />
</RichTextEditor.Toolbar>
<RichTextEditor.Content />
</RichTextEditor>
);
}

Change icons

You can change icon of control by setting icon prop. It accepts a component that must handle size prop:

import { useEditor } from '@tiptap/react';
import StarterKit from '@tiptap/starter-kit';
import { RichTextEditor } from '@mantine/tiptap';
import { IconBold, IconItalic } from '@tabler/icons-react';
const BoldIcon = () => <IconBold size="1rem" stroke={3.5} />;
const ItalicIcon = () => <IconItalic size="1rem" stroke={3.5} />;
function Demo() {
const editor = useEditor({
extensions: [StarterKit],
content: '<p>Customize icons with icon prop</p>',
});
return (
<RichTextEditor editor={editor}>
<RichTextEditor.Toolbar>
<RichTextEditor.ControlsGroup>
<RichTextEditor.Bold icon={BoldIcon} />
<RichTextEditor.Italic icon={ItalicIcon} />
</RichTextEditor.ControlsGroup>
</RichTextEditor.Toolbar>
<RichTextEditor.Content />
</RichTextEditor>
);
}

Labels and localization

RichTextEditor supports changing labels for all controls with labels prop:

import { RichTextEditor } from '@mantine/tiptap';
import { useEditor } from '@tiptap/react';
function Demo() {
const editor = useEditor({
extensions: [
// ... your extensions
],
});
return (
<RichTextEditor
editor={editor}
labels={{
boldControlLabel: 'Make text bold',
italicControlLabel: 'Make text bold',
// ...other labels
}}
>
{/* content */}
</RichTextEditor>
);
}

Most labels are used to add aria-label and title attributes to controls, some of the labels can be a function that returns string. If you do not provide all labels, then they will be merged with the default labels.

All available labels:

// RichTextEditorLabels type can be imported from @mantine/tiptap package
