React wrapper for simplemde markdown editor

Primary LanguageJavaScript

React SimpleMDE Markdown Editor

NPM version

React component wrapper for SimpleMDE.

Contribute

This is a WIP, if you find this component useful, contributions are appreciated, see issues.

New in version 3.0

The initialValue prop has been removed and replaced with a value prop, allowing direct changes to the value to be made after the component mounts.

New in version 2.0

Version 1.0 did not have SimpleMDE options configured well, this readme reflects the changes made to better include options. This is still a very new project. Testing, feedback and PRs are welcome and appreciated.

Usage

View the demo code for a full example.

Not required, but useless without it, the onChange callback is the only option you need to set.

var React = require('react');
var SimpleMDE = require('react-simplemde-editor');

<SimpleMDE
  onChange={this.handleChange}
/>

Options

Set additional SimpleMDE options with an options prop.

Note - while SimpleMDE options has an initialValue option, this component only takes a value prop which is set as the initialValue on first render.

var React = require('react');
var SimpleMDE = require('react-simplemde-editor');

<SimpleMDEReact
  onChange={this.handleChange}
  options={{
    autofocus: true,
    spellChecker: false,
    value: this.state.textValue
    // etc.
  }}
/>
