<RichTextInput>

<RichTextInput> is the ideal component to let users edit HTML content. It is powered by TipTap.

Usage

Note: Due to its size, <RichTextInput> is not bundled by default with react-admin. You must install it first, using npm:

npm install ra-input-rich-text
# or
yarn add ra-input-rich-text

Use it as you would any react-admin inputs:

import { Edit, SimpleForm, TextInput } from 'react-admin';
import { RichTextInput } from 'ra-input-rich-text';

export const PostEdit = (props) => (
	<Edit {...props}>
		<SimpleForm>
			<TextInput source="title" />
			<RichTextInput source="body" />
		</SimpleForm>
	</Edit>
);

Props

Prop Required Type Default Description
editorOptions Optional Object - Options object to pass to the underlying TipTap editor.
toolbar Optional ReactNode - The toolbar to use. If not set, the default toolbar is used.

<RichTextInput> also accepts the common input props.

editorOptions

You might want to add more Tiptap extensions. The <RichTextInput> component accepts an editorOptions prop which is the object passed to Tiptap Editor.

If you just want to add extensions, don’t forget to include those needed by default for our implementation. Here’s an example to add the HorizontalRule node:

import {
    DefaultEditorOptions,
    RichTextInput,
    RichTextInputToolbar,
    LevelSelect,
    FormatButtons,
    AlignmentButtons,
    ListButtons,
    LinkButtons,
    QuoteButtons,
    ClearButtons,
    useTiptapEditor,  
} from 'ra-input-rich-text';
import HorizontalRule from '@tiptap/extension-horizontal-rule';
import Remove from '@mui/icons-material/Remove';
import { ToggleButton } from '@mui/material';

const MyRichTextInputToolbar = ({ size, ...props }) => {
    const editor = useTiptapEditor();
  
    return (
        <RichTextInputToolbar {...props}>
            <LevelSelect size={size} />
            <FormatButtons size={size} />
            <AlignmentButtons size={size} />
            <ListButtons size={size} />
            <LinkButtons size={size} />
            <QuoteButtons size={size} />
            <ClearButtons size={size} />
            <ToggleButton
                aria-label="Add an horizontal rule"
                title="Add an horizontal rule"
                value="left"
                onClick={() =>
                    editor.chain().focus().setHorizontalRule().run()
                }
                selected={editor && editor.isActive('horizontalRule')}
            >
                <Remove fontSize="inherit" />
            </ToggleButton>
        </RichTextInputToolbar>
    );
}

const MyRichTextInput = ({ size, ...props }) => (
    <RichTextInput
        editorOptions={MyEditorOptions}
        toolbar={<MyRichTextInputToolbar size={size} />}
        label="Body"
        source="body"
        {...props}
    />
);

export const MyEditorOptions = {
	...DefaultEditorOptions,
	extensions: [
		...DefaultEditorOptions.extensions,
        HorizontalRule,
	],
};

toolbar

The <RichTextInput> component has a toolbar prop that accepts a ReactNode. But default, it uses the <RichTextInputToolbar> component.

You can leverage the tollbar prop to change the buttons size:

import { Edit, SimpleForm, TextInput } from 'react-admin';
import { RichTextInput, RichTextInputToolbar } from 'ra-input-rich-text';

export const PostEdit = () => (
	<Edit>
		<SimpleForm>
			<TextInput source="title" />
			<RichTextInput source="body" toolbar={<RichTextInputToolbar size="large" />} />
		</SimpleForm>
	</Edit>
);

Or to remove some prebuilt components like the <AlignmentButtons>:

import {
	RichTextInput,
	RichTextInputToolbar,
	LevelSelect,
	FormatButtons,
	ListButtons,
	LinkButtons,
	QuoteButtons,
	ClearButtons,
} from 'ra-input-rich-text';

const MyRichTextInput = ({ size, ...props }) => (
	<RichTextInput
		toolbar={
			<RichTextInputToolbar>
				<LevelSelect size={size} />
				<FormatButtons size={size} />
				<ListButtons size={size} />
				<LinkButtons size={size} />
				<QuoteButtons size={size} />
				<ClearButtons size={size} />
			</RichTextInputToolbar>
		}
		label="Body"
		source="body"
		{...props}
	/>
);
