Installation

# or
pnpm add tiptap-shadcn-editor

Usage

1. Import the Editor and CSS in your app:

import { RichTextEditor } from 'tiptap-shadcn-editor';
import 'tiptap-shadcn-editor/dist/index.css';

2. Use the editor in your component:

<RichTextEditor className="w-full" />

Tailwind CSS Setup

If you use Tailwind CSS, make sure your tailwind.config.js includes the editor package so that Tailwind classes are not purged:

content: [
  './node_modules/tiptap-shadcn-editor/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}',
];

Quick Start

import { RichTextEditor } from 'tiptap-shadcn-editor';
import 'tiptap-shadcn-editor/dist/index.css';

function App() {
  return (
    <RichTextEditor
      onUpdate={(content) => console.log(content)}
      placeholder="Start writing..."
    />
  );
}

Exporting CSS in Your Library (for maintainers)

Make sure your package.json includes the following in the exports field so consumers can import the CSS:

"exports": {
  ".": {
    "types": "./dist/index.d.ts",
    "import": "./dist/index.js",
    "require": "./dist/index.js",
    "default": "./dist/index.js"
  },
  "./dist/index.css": "./dist/index.css"
}

Troubleshooting

• Styles not applying?
  • Ensure you have imported the CSS file: import 'tiptap-shadcn-editor/dist/index.css';
  • Make sure your Tailwind config includes the editor package in the content array.
  • If you use custom CSS variables (e.g., --editor-text-orange), define them in your global CSS or in a parent class.
  • Restart your dev server after making changes to your config or after updating the package.
