import type { SerializedEditorState } from "lexical";

const json: SerializedEditorState = {

};
const blob = await exportDocxFromJSON(json);

API

exportDocx(editor: LexicalEditor): Promise<Blob>

Reads the current editor state and returns a .docx Blob. Use this inside a React component where you have access to the LexicalEditor instance.

exportDocxFromJSON(json: SerializedEditorState): Promise<Blob>
