Strapi TipTap Editor

A drop-in replacement for the strapi editor.

Notice!

This project isn't actively maintained, as I want to move away from Strapi. If you are interested in taking over this project, feel free to contact me.

What is this?

It's a dead simple, and easy to use drop-in replacement for the built-in strapi WYSIWYG editor. It's build upon the TipTap editor. It saves as plain HTML, making it easy to use with various frontends.

Why make this?

The main reason was, that I thought that the built-in WYSIWYG editor in strapi could be better. I needed to support tables and css columns. Another requirement was also make it outputted pure html, and has a nice and easy to user interface. I don't want to keep toggling between editor mode and preview mode, just to see what I'm making.

Requirements

It's build for Strapi v4.

It has been tested to work with v4.5.5 and I assume it should keep working with later versions.

Cool! But how do I use it?

Luckily it's very easy to use. Just follow these instructions:

# Install the dependency
npm install strapi-tiptap-editor

# Add the following to the webpack config (/src/admin/webpack.config.js)
# This is due to tippy.js doesn't have an ES6 module, and a tiptap depencency imports it (thanks for the help @giu1io)
config.plugins.push(new webpack.NormalModuleReplacementPlugin(
  /^tippy\.js$/,
  'tippy.js/dist/tippy-bundle.umd.min.js'
))

# Build the Strapi Admin
npm run build

You are now using the new editor!

You can verify it, by looking at the plugins page inside Strapi
