Bold

Apply bold emphasis to selected text, or enable bold before typing.

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 { Bold, RichTextBold } from 'reactjs-tiptap-editor/bold';
import 'reactjs-tiptap-editor/style.css';

const extensions = [Document, Paragraph, Text, Bold];

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

  if (!editor) return null;

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

How to use

Select a word and click Bold. Click again to remove the mark. Use editor.chain().focus().toggleBold().run() to trigger it from your own control.

Options

shortcutKeys

Type: string[]
Default: ['mod', 'B']

Shortcut labels shown by the controls. See keyboard shortcut configuration to change actual key bindings.
