Install

npm install docx-solid-viewer

Use the framework peers declared by this package: solid-js (^1.9.0). Existing framework apps normally already provide them.

The package bundles its editor UI and adapter. The core model and shared controls are installed as regular registry dependencies and the model API is re-exported. One viewer package is enough; no separate core install is required.

Quick start

import { createSignal } from 'solid-js';
import { createDocument, WordEditor } from 'docx-solid-viewer';

export function Editor() {
	const [model, setModel] = createSignal(createDocument());
	return <WordEditor documentModel={model()} onDocumentChange={setModel} />;
}

Mount in the browser and give the host a height. Use one editor package per application: each registers the same editor custom element.

Features

| Feature | Description | | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Editing | Shared ProseMirror editor, ribbon, dialogs and document change events. | | Files | Modern DOCX and limited legacy Word 97-2003 DOC loading through core. | | Model | createDocument, loadDocx, saveDocx and core types from the package entry. | | Frameworks | The same <docx-editor> UI behind six thin adapters. |

API

The shared props, event handlers, loadDocument and detectDocumentFormat helpers are available from the package. Framework handles expose load, save and download. The vanilla package supplies mountEditor(container, options) for framework-free lifecycle management. ProseMirror, docx-core, ooxml-core and ooxml-ui are regular dependencies; document and layout algorithms live in OOXML core.

Limitations

This is an early editor. It does not establish Microsoft Word layout parity or lossless saving for unsupported features. Legacy DOC support is limited to main-body text with constrained paragraph edits. SmartArt is display-only and charts render as placeholders.
