Image Extension

Customization

Customize the Image extension by passing options:

Note: The uploadFn must return the URL of the uploaded image. If you dont specify uploadFn, please enable the allowBase64 option.

Image.configure({
  allowedMimeTypes: ['image/jpeg', 'image/png', 'image/gif'],
  onImageRemove: handleImageRemove,
  maxFileSize: 5 * 1024 * 1024, // 5MB
  uploadFn: myCustomUploadFunction,
  onActionSuccess: handleActionSuccess,
  onActionError: handleActionError,
  onValidationError: handleValidationError
})

Handling Image Uploads

Provide a custom uploadFn to handle image uploads:

const myCustomUploadFunction = async (file: File, editor: Editor) => {
  // Implement your upload logic here
  // Return the URL of the uploaded image
  return 'https://example.com/uploaded-image.jpg'
}

Image.configure({
  uploadFn: myCustomUploadFunction
})

Error Handling

Implement error handling callbacks for a better user experience:

Image.configure({
  onActionError: (error, props) => {
    console.error('Image action failed:', error, props)
    // Show user-friendly error message
  },
  onValidationError: errors => {
    console.error('Image validation failed:', errors)
    // Show validation error to the user
  }
})

Toolbar Customization

Customize the toolbar using the activeActions, mainActionCount, size, and variant props in various sections:

<SectionOne editor={editor} activeLevels={[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]} variant="outline" />

<SectionTwo
  editor={editor}
  activeActions={['bold', 'italic', 'strikethrough', 'code', 'clearFormatting']}
  mainActionCount={2}
/>

<SectionFour editor={editor} activeActions={['orderedList', 'bulletList']} mainActionCount={0} />

<SectionFive editor={editor} activeActions={['codeBlock', 'blockquote', 'horizontalRule']} mainActionCount={0} />

To prevent focusing the Dropdown Menu Trigger after clicking a menu item, add:

onCloseAutoFocus={event => event.preventDefault()}

Key Behaviors

• Pressing Enter or creating a new block removes active formatting marks (bold, italic, strike, underline, code).
• Set shouldRerenderOnTransaction to false for performance, but this may affect toolbar state updates.

Other Projects

• React Fancy Switch
• React Confirm Dialog
