sv5tiptap - A simple rich editor for svelte 5

This component library is not a perfect editor, and compared to other open-source projects, its features are quite limited. The main goal of this small project is to provide a basic rich editor for your Svelte development or testing with Tiptap.

sv5tiptap is primarily based on Svelte 5, Tiptap 2, Tailwind 4, DaisyUI 5, Lucide icons and was developed using the latest versions of these frameworks, as detailed in the package.json. It does not rely on many custom extensions; only two existing open-source extensions were used to implement image and font size functionality. If you need more features, you are welcome to develop extensions yourself. Tiptap provides detailed documentation for this, though it can be a time-consuming challenge.

Currently, there is no user manual, and the code lacks comments, as I haven’t had enough time to complete this yet. However, I plan to continue optimizing it and add clear documentation after using it for a short period in my project. Although there are no official documents yet, most of the code follows the basic usage of Svelte, Tiptap, and Tailwind.

At this moment, sv5tiptap may not be perfect, but for me and many users, it indeed fills the need for a simple CMS editor within Svelte projects. I hope it proves useful to you or at least inspires you.

svelte 5 Usage

<script lang="ts">

	import type { EditorType } from '@lux-ok/sv5tiptap';
	import { onMount } from 'svelte';

	 * If content is set to undefined, sv5tiptap will load the demo content.
	 * or you only need blank content: content = ‘’
	 */
	let content = undefined;
	let editor = $state<EditorType>();
	let html = $state<string>();

	onMount(() => {
		// This is not necessary, you can use getJSON() or getHTML() anytime like save json to database
		html = jsonToHtml(jsonContent);
		editor?.on('update', () => {
			// callback on editor update
			console.log('updated');
			html = jsonToHtml(editor?.getJSON());
		});
	});
</script>
