# 🧠 @ecodrix/richtext

A lightweight, modular **Rich Text Editor** for React and Next.js — powered by an isolated iframe runtime for true sandboxed editing.

---

## ⚙️ Installation

Install using your preferred package manager:

```bash
npm install @ecodrix/richtext
# or
yarn add @ecodrix/richtext
# or
pnpm add @ecodrix/richtext
```

🎨 Import Styles

The package includes built-in Tailwind-based styles. You must import them once in your global layout (e.g. layout.tsx or _app.tsx):

import "@ecodrix/richtext/styles";

💡 Make sure your Tailwind setup is working — these styles rely on TailwindCSS utilities.

🚀 Basic Usage

Here’s the simplest way to use the rich text editor in your React or Next.js project:

"use client";
import React from "react";
import { RichtextEditor } from "@ecodrix/richtext";

export default function Example() {
  return (
    <RichtextEditor
      initialContent="<p>Hello, world!</p>"
      onChange={(editor) => {
        console.log("HTML Output:", editor.toHTML());
        console.log("JSON Output:", editor.toJSON());
      }}
    />
  );
}

🧩 Add Toolbar Support

To include the built-in toolbar with text formatting, headings, alignment, and lists:

"use client";
import React from "react";
import { RichtextEditor } from "@ecodrix/richtext";

export default function EditorWithToolbar() {
  return (
    <RichtextEditor
      initialContent="<h2>Start typing...</h2><p>This is a sandboxed editor.</p>"
      toolbar={{ format: true }}
      onChange={(editor) => {
        console.log(editor.toHTML());
      }}
    />
  );
}

🪶 Working with Editor Output

You can easily get both HTML and structured JSON:

onChange={(editor) => {
  const html = editor.toHTML();
  const json = editor.toJSON();

  console.log("HTML:", html);
  console.log("JSON:", JSON.stringify(json, null, 2));
}}

🧱 Styling the Editor

By default, the editor body is styled with:

body {
  font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, sans-serif;
  line-height: 1.6;
  color: #111;
  background: #fff;
  padding: 0.75rem;
}
blockquote {
  border-left: 3px solid #ddd;
  padding-left: 1em;
  color: #555;
}
pre {
  background: #f6f6f6;
  padding: 0.6em;
  border-radius: 6px;
}

To customize further, wrap the editor in your own styled container:

<div className="border border-gray-300 rounded-md shadow-sm p-2 bg-white">
  <RichtextEditor initialContent="<p>Custom styled editor</p>" />
</div>

🔗 Accessing Editor Instance

If you want direct access to the editor core (e.g. to run commands or serialize manually):

import React, { useRef } from "react";
import { RichtextEditor, useEditor } from "@ecodrix/richtext";

export default function ControlledEditor() {
  const { core } = useEditor();

  const handleSave = () => {
    if (core) {
      console.log(core.toHTML());
    }
  };

  return (
    <>
      <RichtextEditor initialContent="<p>Edit here...</p>" />
      <button onClick={handleSave}>Save</button>
    </>
  );
}

🧠 Key Features

• Iframe runtime isolation (secure & sandboxed editing)
• Chainable commands (e.g. editor.chain.bold().run())
• Undo/Redo, Tables, Headings, Lists, Colors, Alignment
• JSON + HTML output
• Fully typed API (TypeScript ready)
• Plug-and-play setup — no extra configuration needed

🧩 Example Chain Commands

editor.chain.bold().italic().underline().run();
editor.chain.heading(2).run();
editor.chain.alignCenter().run();
editor.chain.insertTable(3, 4).run();
editor.chain.color("#ff0077").run();

💡 Tips

• Works with Next.js 14+, React 18/19
• Automatically handles undo/redo states
• Fully SSR-safe (initializes only on client)
• You can use editor.toHTML() or editor.toJSON() for database storage

🛠️ Development Commands

Would you like me to add a small **“Next.js setup snippet”** (showing how to import Tailwind + styles into `layout.tsx` and ensure client-only rendering)?
That’s usually the final piece for smooth usage in production.
