Getting Started

npm install @draft-js-plugins/editor
npm install @draft-js-plugins/static-toolbar
gettingStarted.js
// It is important to import the Editor which accepts plugins.
import Editor from '@draft-js-plugins/editor';
import createToolbarPlugin from '@draft-js-plugins/static-toolbar';
import React from 'react';

// Creates an Instance. At this step, a configuration object can be passed in
// as an argument.
const toolbarPlugin = createToolbarPlugin();

// The Editor accepts an array of plugins. In this case, only the toolbarPlugin
// is passed in, although it is possible to pass in multiple plugins.
const MyEditor = ({ editorState, onChange }) => (
  <Editor
    editorState={editorState}
    onChange={onChange}
    plugins={[toolbarPlugin]}
  />
);

export default MyEditor;

Importing the default styles

The plugin ships with a default styling available at this location in the installed package:  node_modules/@draft-js-plugins/static-toolbar/lib/plugin.css

Webpack Usage

  • 1. Install Webpack loaders:  npm i style-loader css-loader --save-dev
  • 2. Add the below section to Webpack config (if your config already has a loaders array, simply add the below loader object to your existing list.
    module.exports = {
  module: {
    loaders: [
      {
        test: /plugin\.css$/,
        loaders: ['style-loader', 'css'],
      },
    ],
  },
};
  • 3. Add the below import line to your component to tell Webpack to inject the style to your component.
    import '@draft-js-plugins/static-toolbar/lib/plugin.css';
  • 4. Restart Webpack.
