Simple setup
Here is a quick example of how to use the React Rich Text Editor
component for CKEditor 5 by using Vite!
1
Create a project
Create a project using a basic Vite template and change the working directory to a newly created project.
npm create vite@latest ckeditor5-react -- --template react && cd ckeditor5-react2
Install packages
Install dependencies to Rich Text Editor React Component and a chosen Editor Type
according to the editing experience of your preference. In this case, we use the classic one.
npm install ckeditor5 @ckeditor/ckeditor5-react3
Add a component
Replace contents of src/App.jsx with code responsible for importing and the initialization of the editor.
import { CKEditor } from '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-react';
import {
ClassicEditor,
Bold,
Essentials,
Heading,
Indent,
IndentBlock,
Italic,
Link,
List,
MediaEmbed,
Paragraph,
Table,
Undo
} from 'ckeditor5';
import 'ckeditor5/ckeditor5.css';
export default function App() {
return (
<CKEditor
editor={ ClassicEditor }
config={ {
toolbar: [
'undo', 'redo', '|',
'heading', '|', 'bold', 'italic', '|',
'link', 'insertTable', 'mediaEmbed', '|',
'bulletedList', 'numberedList', 'indent', 'outdent'
],
plugins: [
Bold,
Essentials,
Heading,
Indent,
IndentBlock,
Italic,
Link,
List,
MediaEmbed,
Paragraph,
Table,
Undo
],
initialData: '<h1>Hello from CKEditor 5!</h1>',
} }
/>
);
}
