Draft.js is a JavaScript rich text editor framework, built for React and backed by an immutable model.
- Extensible and Customizable: We provide the building blocks to enable the creation of a broad variety of rich text composition experiences, from simple text styles to embedded media.
- Declarative Rich Text: Draft.js fits seamlessly into React applications, abstracting away the details of rendering, selection, and input behavior with a familiar declarative API.
- Immutable Editor State: The Draft.js model is built with immutable-js, offering an API with functional state updates and aggressively leveraging data persistence for scalable memory usage.
Learn how to use Draft.js in your own project.
Before getting started, please be aware that we recently changed the API of
Entity storage in Draft. The latest version, v0.10.0, supports both the old
and new API. Following that up will be v0.11.0 which will remove the old API.
If you are interested in helping out, or tracking the progress, please follow
issue 839.
Currently Draft.js is distributed via npm. It depends on React and React DOM which must also be installed.
npm install --save draft-js react react-dom
or
yarn add draft-js react react-dom
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import {Editor, EditorState} from 'draft-js';
class MyEditor extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {editorState: EditorState.createEmpty()};
this.onChange = (editorState) => this.setState({editorState});
}
render() {
return (
<Editor editorState={this.state.editorState} onChange={this.onChange} />
);
}
}
ReactDOM.render(
<MyEditor />,
document.getElementById('container')
);Because Draft.js supports unicode, you must have the following meta tag in the <head> </head> block of your HTML file:
<meta charset="utf-8" />Further examples of how Draft.js can be used are provided below.
Visit http://draftjs.org/ to try out a simple rich editor example.
The repository includes a variety of different editor examples to demonstrate some of the features offered by the framework.
To run the examples, first build Draft.js locally:
git clone https://github.com/facebook/draft-js.git
cd draft-js
npm install
npm run build
then open the example HTML files in your browser.
Draft.js is used in production on Facebook, including status and comment inputs, Notes, and messenger.com.
