MarkdownEditor

We use react-simplemde-editor as a base with the following changes:

• We've added simple styles around it to keep it consistent with our other form fields
• We've made the toolbar icons more flexible (see below)
• The toolbar is sticky for when your Markdown gets really long
• You can insert emojis! 💃

Install and import

yarn add @welcome-ui/markdown-editor @xstyled/styled-components @xstyled/system prop-types react react-dom styled-components

Toolbar

You can send an array of toolbar items with the shape:

{ name: 'bold', icon: <i className="fa fa-bold" />, action={item => { // Do something with item }}, title: 'Bold 🌴' }.

For example, in the toolbar below we're using icons from:

• FontAwesome (bold, italic)
• Material Design Iconic Font: (strikethrough, link)
• our own Icons: (code, quote)
• and plain text (emoji)

Note: to use FontAwesome or Material Design icons (or any other 3rd-party icon font), you'll have to include the font stylesheet somewhere in your app.

The default toolbar uses Welcome UI icons with the following items:

[
  { name: 'bold', title: 'Bold' },
  { name: 'italic', title: 'Italic' },
  { name: 'strikethrough', title: 'Strikethrough' },
  { name: 'link', title: 'Link' },
  { name: 'divider' },
  { name: 'heading_1', title: 'Heading 1' },
  { name: 'heading_2', title: 'Heading 2' },
  { name: 'divider' },
  { name: 'unordered_list', title: 'Unordered list' },
  { name: 'ordered_list', title: 'Ordered list' },
  { name: 'divider' },
  { name: 'code', title: 'Code' },
  { name: 'quote', title: 'Quote' },
  { name: 'divider' },
  { name: 'emoji', icon: '🙂', title: 'Emoji' }
]

Actions

You can add some actions on the bottom of the textarea with actions childrens. We calculate automatically the height of actions.
