react-md-editor

A simple markdown editor with preview, implemented with React.js and TypeScript. This React Component aims to provide a simple Markdown editor with syntax highlighting support. This is based on textarea encapsulation, so it does not depend on any modern code editors such as Acs, CodeMirror, Monaco etc.

Features

• 📑 Indent line or selected text by pressing tab key, with customizable indentation.
• ♻️ Based on textarea encapsulation, does not depend on any modern code editors.
• 🚧 Does not depend on the uiw component library.
• 🚘 Automatic list on new lines.
• 😻 GitHub flavored markdown support.
• 🌒 Support dark-mode/night-mode @v3.11.0+.
• 💡 Support next.js, Use examples in next.js.
• Line/lines duplication (Ctrl+D) and movement (Alt+UpArrow/DownArrow) @v3.24.0+.

Quick Start

npm i @uiw/react-md-editor

or

yarn add @uiw/react-md-editor

Using

import React from "react";
import MDEditor from '@uiw/react-md-editor';

export default function App() {
  const [value, setValue] = React.useState("**Hello world!!!**");
  return (
    <div className="container">
      <MDEditor
        value={value}
        onChange={setValue}
      />
      <MDEditor.Markdown source={value} style={{ whiteSpace: 'pre-wrap' }} />
    </div>
  );
}

Headless Mode

The package exposes the necessary utilities to build a headless markdown editor with your own UI. This example creates a simple textarea that supports markdown keyboard shortcuts and correct handling of newlines.

import React from "react";
import { 
  handleKeyDown, 
  shortcuts, 
  TextAreaCommandOrchestrator,
  getCommands,
} from '@uiw/react-md-editor';

export default function App() {
  const [value, setValue] = React.useState("**Hello world!!!**");
  const textareaRef = React.useRef(null);
  const orchestratorRef = React.useRef(null);
  
  React.useEffect(() => {
    if (textareaRef.current) {
      orchestratorRef.current = new TextAreaCommandOrchestrator(textareaRef.current);
    }
  }, []);

  const onKeyDown = (e) => {
    handleKeyDown(e, 2, false);
    if (orchestratorRef.current) {
      shortcuts(e, getCommands(), orchestratorRef.current);
    }
  };

  return (
    <textarea
      ref={textareaRef}
      value={value}
      onChange={(e) => setValue(e.target.value)}
      onKeyDown={onKeyDown}
      style={{ width: '100%', height: 200, padding: 10 }}
    />
  );
}

Special Markdown syntax

Supports for CSS Style

Use HTML comments <!--rehype:xxx--> to let Markdown support style customization.

## Title
<!--rehype:style=display: flex; height: 230px; align-items: center; justify-content: center; font-size: 38px;-->

Markdown Supports **Style**<!--rehype:style=color: red;-->

Ignore content display via HTML comments

Shown in GitHub readme, excluded in HTML.

# Hello World

<!--rehype:ignore:start-->Hello World<!--rehype:ignore:end-->

Good!

Output:

<h1>Hello World</h1>

<p>Good!</p>

Security

Please note markdown needs to be sanitized if you do not completely trust your authors. Otherwise, your app is vulnerable to XSS. This can be achieved by adding rehype-sanitize as a plugin.

import React from "react";
import MDEditor from '@uiw/react-md-editor';
import rehypeSanitize from "rehype-sanitize";

export default function App() {
  const [value, setValue] = React.useState(`**Hello world!!!** <IFRAME SRC=\"javascript:javascript:alert(window.origin);\"></IFRAME>`);
  return (
    <div className="container">
      <MDEditor
        value={value}
        onChange={setValue}
        previewOptions={{
          rehypePlugins: [[rehypeSanitize]],
        }}
      />
    </div>
  );
}

Remove Code Highlight

The following example can help you exclude code highlighting code from being included in the bundle. @uiw/react-md-editor/nohighlight component does not contain the rehype-prism-plus code highlighting package, highlightEnable, showLineNumbers and highlight line functions will no longer work. (#586)

import React from "react";
import MDEditor from '@uiw/react-md-editor/nohighlight';

const code = `**Hello world!!!**
\`\`\`js
function demo() {}
\`\`\`
`

export default function App() {
  const [value, setValue] = React.useState(code);
  return (
    <div className="container">
      <MDEditor
        value={value}
        onChange={setValue}
      />
      <MDEditor.Markdown source={value} style={{ whiteSpace: 'pre-wrap' }} />
    </div>
  );
}

Common Code Highlight

Use @uiw/react-md-editor/common to keep syntax highlighting while only including the rehype-prism-plus/common language subset. This is a middle ground between the default full-language build and nohighlight.

import React from "react";
import MDEditor from '@uiw/react-md-editor/common';

const code = `**Hello world!!!**
\`\`\`js
function greet(name) {
  console.log('hello', name);
}
\`\`\`
`

export default function App() {
  const [value, setValue] = React.useState(code);
  return (
    <div className="container">
      <MDEditor
        value={value}
        onChange={setValue}
      />
      <MDEditor.Markdown source={value} style={{ whiteSpace: 'pre-wrap' }} />
    </div>
  );
}

Placeholder & maxLength

"Below is an example that sets the placeholder for the editor and defines the maximum input character length as 10 characters."

import React from "react";
import MDEditor from '@uiw/react-md-editor';

export default function App() {
  const [value, setValue] = React.useState("");
  return (
      <MDEditor
        value={value}
        onChange={setValue}
        textareaProps={{
          placeholder: 'Please enter Markdown text',
          maxLength: 10
        }}
      />
  );
}

Custom Toolbars

List commands select a word by default. Custom commands can pass 'line' to makeList to select the entire line instead

import MDEditor, { commands } from '@uiw/react-md-editor';

const lineListCommand = {
  ...commands.unorderedListCommand,
  execute: (state, api) => commands.makeList(state, api, '- ', 'line'),
};

// <MDEditor commands={[lineListCommand]} />

import React, { useState } from "react";
import MDEditor, { commands } from '@uiw/react-md-editor';

const title3 = {
  name: 'title3',
  keyCommand: 'title3',
  buttonProps: { 'aria-label': 'Insert title3' },

      preview="edit"
      commands={[...commands.getCommands(), help]}
      onChange={(val) => setValue(val)}
    />
  );
}

Internationalization Example, You can refer to commands-cn for internationalization.

import React, { useContext } from "react";
import MDEditor, { commands } from "@uiw/react-md-editor";
import { getCommands, getExtraCommands } from "@uiw/react-md-editor/commands-cn";

export default function App() {
  const [value, setValue] = React.useState("**Hello world!!!**");
  return (
    <MDEditor
      value={value}
      preview="edit"
      commands={[...getCommands()]}
      extraCommands={[...getExtraCommands()]}
      onChange={(val) => setValue(val)}
    />
  );
}

Set to support editor only

import React, { useContext } from "react";
import MDEditor, { commands, EditorContext } from "@uiw/react-md-editor";

export default function App() {
  const [value, setValue] = React.useState("**Hello world!!!**");
  return (
    <div className="container">
      <MDEditor
        value={value}
        preview="edit"
        extraCommands={[commands.fullscreen]}
        onChange={(val) => setValue(val)}
      />
    </div>
  );
}

Editor Font Size

body .w-md-editor-text-pre > code,
body .w-md-editor-text-input {
  font-size: 23px !important;
  line-height: 24px !important;
}

Editor height adapts to text

The initial height can be adjusted through minHeight={100}. Dragbar will automatically expire. You can hide the drag button through visibleDragbar={false}

import React from "react";
import MDEditor from '@uiw/react-md-editor';

export default function App() {
  const [value, setValue] = React.useState("**Hello world!!!**");
  return (
    <div className="container">
      <MDEditor
        value={value}
        height="100%"
        // minHeight={50}
        visibleDragbar={false}
        onChange={setValue}
      />
    </div>
  );
}

Disallowed Elements

import React from "react";
import MDEditor from '@uiw/react-md-editor';

export default function App() {
  const [value, setValue] = React.useState("**Hello world!!!**  <style>body{display:none;}</style> ");
  return (
    <div className="container">
      <MDEditor
        value={value}
        height="100%"
        previewOptions={{
          disallowedElements: ['style'],
        }}
        visibleDragbar={false}
        onChange={setValue}
      />
    </div>
  );
}

Place the cursor at the end of the text

import React from "react";
import MDEditor from '@uiw/react-md-editor';

const textSample = `# Welcome to the Markdown Editor!

This is a sample of the **React Markdown Editor**.

## ✨ Features

Support Custom Mermaid Preview

Using mermaid to generation of diagram and flowchart from text in a similar manner as markdown

npm install mermaid

import React, { useState, useRef, useEffect, Fragment, useCallback } from "react";
import MDEditor from "@uiw/react-md-editor";
import { getCodeString } from 'rehype-rewrite';
import mermaid from "mermaid";

const mdMermaid = `The following are some examples of the diagrams, charts and graphs that can be made using Mermaid and the Markdown-inspired text specific to it. 

\`\`\`mermaid
graph TD
A[Hard] -->|Text| B(Round)
B --> C{Decision}
C -->|One| D[Result 1]
C -->|Two| E[Result 2]
\`\`\`

\`\`\`mermaid

loop Healthcheck
    John->>John: Fight against hypochondria
end
Note right of John: Rational thoughts!
John-->>Alice: Great!
John->>Bob: How about you?
Bob-->>John: Jolly good!
\`\`\`
`;

const randomid = () => parseInt(String(Math.random() * 1e15), 10).toString(36);
const Code = ({ inline, children = [], className, ...props }) => {
  const demoid = useRef(`dome${randomid()}`);
  const [container, setContainer] = useState(null);
  const isMermaid =
    className && /^language-mermaid/.test(className.toLocaleLowerCase());
  const code = children
    ? getCodeString(props.node.children)
    : children[0] || "";

  useEffect(() => {
    if (container && isMermaid && demoid.current && code) {
      mermaid
        .render(demoid.current, code)
        .then(({ svg, bindFunctions }) => {
          container.innerHTML = svg;
          if (bindFunctions) {
            bindFunctions(container);
          }
        })
        .catch((error) => {
          console.log("error:", error);
        });
    }
  }, [container, isMermaid, code, demoid]);

  const refElement = useCallback((node) => {
    if (node !== null) {
      setContainer(node);
    }
  }, []);

  if (isMermaid) {
    return (
      <Fragment>
        <code id={demoid.current} style={{ display: "none" }} />
        <code className={className} ref={refElement} data-name="mermaid" />
      </Fragment>
    );
  }
  return <code className={className}>{children}</code>;
};

export default function App() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState(mdMermaid);
  return (
    <MDEditor
      onChange={(newValue = "") => setValue(newValue)}
      textareaProps={{
        placeholder: "Please enter Markdown text"
      }}
      height={500}
      value={value}
      previewOptions={{
        components: {
          code: Code
        }
      }}
    />
  );
}

Support Nextjs

For Next.js App Router, see the working Next.js example (#682)

Install both packages so their published styles can be imported directly:

npm install @uiw/react-md-editor @uiw/react-markdown-preview

Load global styles from app/layout.tsx:

import '@uiw/react-md-editor/markdown-editor.css';
import '@uiw/react-markdown-preview/markdown.css';

In a client component, load the editor without server-side rendering:

'use client';
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic';
import { useState } from 'react';

const MDEditor = dynamic(() => import('@uiw/react-md-editor'), { ssr: false });

export default function Page() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState(['```js', 'const answer = 42;', '```'].join('\n'));
  return <MDEditor value={value} onChange={setValue} />;
}

If highlighting is missing with older Turbopack versions, try next dev without --turbopack

Support dark-mode/night-mode

By default, the dark-mode is automatically switched according to the system. If you need to switch manually, just set the data-color-mode="dark" parameter for body.

<html data-color-mode="dark">

document.documentElement.setAttribute('data-color-mode', 'dark')
document.documentElement.setAttribute('data-color-mode', 'light')

Inherit custom color variables by adding .wmde-markdown-var selector. Setting theme styles with data-color-mode="light".

<div data-color-mode="light">
  <div className="wmde-markdown-var"> </div>
  <MDEditor source="Hello World!" />
</div>
