React Markdown Editor
A Markdown Editor for React.js, built with CodeMirror.
This is a work in progress. Format application and removal is not very robust, some formats are missing.
Demo & Examples
Live demo: JedWatson.github.io/react-md-editor
To build the examples locally, run:
npm install
npm start
Then open localhost:8000
in a browser.
Installation
The easiest way to use codemirror is to install it from NPM and include it in your own React build process (using Browserify, Webpack, etc).
You can also use the standalone build by including dist/codemirror.js
in your page. If you use this, make sure you have already included React, and it is available as a global variable.
npm install codemirror --save
Usage
var React = require('react'),
Editor = require('react-md-editor');
var App = React.createClass({
getInitialState: function() {
return {
code: "# Markdown"
};
},
updateCode: function(newCode) {
this.setState({
code: newCode
});
},
render: function() {
return <Editor value={this.state.code} onChange={this.updateCode} />
}
});
React.render(<App />, document.getElementById('app'));
