@matrajs/solid

Solid bindings for Matra: createMatra, and a signal that follows the editor.

npm i @matrajs/core @matrajs/solid

import { starterKit } from '@matrajs/core'
import { createMatra } from '@matrajs/solid'

export function Editor() {
  const { editor, mount, state } = createMatra({
    extensions: starterKit,
    content: '<p>Hello</p>',
  })

  return (
    <>
      <button
        onClick={() => editor.commands.toggleBold()}
        aria-pressed={state().isActive('bold')}
      >
        Bold
      </button>
      <div ref={mount} />
    </>
  )
}

What it adds

Solid's reactivity is not a render loop, so there is no external-store shape to reach for. A signal that bumps on every change is enough: everything reading state() re-runs and nothing else does.

• state() returns the editor itself, not a copy. A toolbar asks isActive at render time, and cloning a document to answer that would be the expensive way to do nothing. What changes behind it is a version counter, because the editor is one object that never changes identity — a signal holding it directly would never notify.
• onCleanup destroys it, so the element is safe to reuse.
• mount is guarded, because a ref can run twice under a hot reload.

The editor is created immediately rather than on mount, so commands, getJSON() and getText() all work before anything is on screen — which is what SSR and a test both need.
