Excalidraw

Create and insert Excalidraw drawings.

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 { Excalidraw, RichTextExcalidraw } from 'reactjs-tiptap-editor/excalidraw';
import { RichTextBubbleExcalidraw } from 'reactjs-tiptap-editor/bubble/excalidraw';
import 'reactjs-tiptap-editor/style.css';
import '@excalidraw/excalidraw/index.css';

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

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

  if (!editor) return null;

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

How to use

Load @excalidraw/excalidraw/index.css alongside the editor stylesheet. Open the toolbar dialog, create a drawing, and apply it. Mount RichTextBubbleExcalidraw for contextual actions. Install @excalidraw/excalidraw directly if needed to resolve its CSS import.
