Price: Freemium
Description
TipTap is a modern, framework-agnostic rich text editor that provides a robust and highly extensible foundation for building custom content editing interfaces on the web. Unlike traditional WYSIWYG editors, TipTap operates as a 'headless' editor, meaning it handles the core editing logic, content state management, and functionality, while developers retain complete control over the user interface and user experience. Built upon the powerful ProseMirror toolkit, it offers exceptional extensibility through a plugin-based architecture, allowing for the creation of custom nodes, marks, and extensions to support unique editing features, including advanced AI integrations. TipTap is ideally suited for developers building applications that require sophisticated, highly customizable text editing capabilities, such as advanced content management systems, collaborative editors, or innovative AI-powered writing tools. It empowers developers to craft deeply tailored editing experiences that seamlessly integrate with their application's specific design and functionality requirements.
How to Use
1.Install TipTap in your web project using npm (e.g., `npm install @tiptap/react @tiptap/core`).
2.Import the core editor and desired extensions (e.g., `StarterKit`, `Paragraph`, `Bold`) into your component.
3.Initialize the editor in your component, specifying the extensions to use and optionally providing initial content.
4.Render the editor's content and UI using a dedicated `Content` component (e.g., `EditorContent` for React).
5.Implement custom extensions for unique features, such as integrating AI writing assistants or custom content blocks.
6.Manage content changes and the editor's state programmatically through TipTap's API, saving or updating as needed.
