A fully functional Rich Text Editor for both Android and iOS
yarn add react-native-pell-rich-editor
or
npm i react-native-pell-rich-editor
Also, follow instructions here to add the native react-native-webview
dependency.
The editor component. Simply place this component in your view hierarchy to receive a fully functional Rich text Editor.
RichEditor
takes the following optional props:
-
initialContentHTML
HTML that will be rendered in the content section on load.
-
editorInitializedCallback
A function that will be called when the editor has been initialized.
-
useContainer
A boolean value that determines if a View container is wrapped around the WebView. The default value is true. If you are using your own View to wrap this library around, set this value to false.
RichEditor
also has methods that can be used on its ref
to set:
setContentHTML(html:string)
insertImage(url:string)
setContentFocusHandler(handler: Function)
blurContentEditor()
focusContentEditor()
This method registers a function that will get called whenver the cursor position changes or a change is made to the styling of the editor at the cursor's position., The callback will be called with an array of actions
that are active at the cusor position, allowing a toolbar to respond to changes.
registerToolbar(listener: Function)
<RichEditor
ref={(r) => this.richtext = r}
initialContentHTML={'Hello <b>World</b> <p>this is a new paragraph</p> <p>this is another new paragraph</p>'}
editorInitializedCallback={() => this.onEditorInitialized()}
/>
This is a Component that provides a toolbar for easily controlling an editor. It is designed to be used together with a RichEditor
component.
The RichToolbar
has one required property:
getEditor()
Which must provide a function that returns a ref
to a RichEditor
component.
This is because the ref
is not created until after the first render, before which the toolbar is rendered. This means that any ref
passed directly will inevitably be passed as undefined
.
Other props supported by the RichToolbar
component are:
-
actions
An
array
ofactions
to be provided by this toolbar. The default actions are:actions.insertImage
actions.setBold
actions.setItalic
actions.insertBulletsList
actions.insertOrderedList
actions.insertLink
-
onPressAddImage
Functions called when the
addImage
actions are tapped. -
selectedButtonStyle
-
iconTint
-
selectedIconTint
-
unselectedButtonStyle
These provide options for styling action buttons.
-
iconSize
Defines the size of the icon in pixels. Default is 50.
-
renderAction
Altenatively, you can provide a render function that will be used instead of the default, so you can fully control the tollbar design.
-
iconMap
RichTextToolbar
comes with default icons for the default actions it renders. To override those, or to add icons for non-default actions, provide them in a dictionary to this prop.
<RichToolbar getEditor={() => this.richtext}/>
