This React component provides a straightforward implementation of a rich text editor utilizing the react-quill
library. Designed for web applications requiring robust text formatting capabilities, this example demonstrates how to integrate QuillEditor
into a functional React component.
The Editor
component leverages React’s useState
hook to manage the editor’s content, allowing for dynamic updates and interaction. The QuillEditor
component itself is imported from react-quill
, a popular and powerful rich text editor for React.
Styling for the editor is handled by importing both a local CSS module (./styles.module.css
) for custom wrapper and label styles, and the default “snow” theme styles from react-quill
(react-quill/dist/quill.snow.css
) to provide a complete visual appearance.
Within the component’s JSX, a div
acts as a wrapper, enclosing a label
for accessibility and a QuillEditor
instance. Key props passed to QuillEditor
include:
* className
: Applies custom styling defined in the local CSS module.
* theme="snow"
: Activates the “snow” theme for the editor’s interface.
* value={value}
: Binds the editor’s content to the value
state variable.
* onChange={(value) => setValue(value)}
: Updates the component’s value
state whenever the editor’s content changes, ensuring a controlled component pattern.
This setup offers a clear and efficient way to embed a fully functional rich text editor into any React application, providing users with a familiar and feature-rich content creation experience.
