Attachment

Insert a downloadable file card with an application-provided upload handler.

Setup

Start with the packages in Getting Started. This complete example registers the feature and renders its UI. In an existing editor, merge the imports and extension entries into your setup, and place the controls inside your existing RichTextProvider.

tsx

'use client';

import { EditorContent, useEditor } from '@tiptap/react';
import { Document } from '@tiptap/extension-document';
import { Paragraph } from '@tiptap/extension-paragraph';
import { Text } from '@tiptap/extension-text';
import { RichTextProvider } from 'reactjs-tiptap-editor';
import { Attachment, RichTextAttachment } from 'reactjs-tiptap-editor/attachment';
import 'reactjs-tiptap-editor/style.css';

async function uploadAttachment(file: File): Promise<string> {
  const body = new FormData();
  body.append('file', file);
  const response = await fetch('/api/attachments', { method: 'POST', body });
  if (!response.ok) throw new Error('Attachment upload failed');
  const data = await response.json();
  if (typeof data.url !== 'string' || !data.url) {
    throw new Error('Upload response must contain a URL');
  }
  return data.url;
}

const extensions = [Document, Paragraph, Text, Attachment.configure({ upload: uploadAttachment })];

export default function AttachmentExample() {
  const editor = useEditor({
    extensions,
    content: '<p>Try this feature here.</p>',
    immediatelyRender: false,
  });

  if (!editor) return null;

  return (
    <RichTextProvider editor={editor}>
      <RichTextAttachment />
      <EditorContent editor={editor} />
    </RichTextProvider>
  );
}

How to use

Click the attachment button to add a placeholder, then choose a file in that card. The upload callback receives one File and must resolve with its download URL. The endpoint in this example is yours to implement; it must return { "url": "https://..." }. Save the document after uploading completes.
