A React Component for SunEditor
$ npm install --save suneditor-reactimport React from 'react';
import SunEditor from 'suneditor-react';
import 'suneditor/dist/css/suneditor.min.css'; // Import Sun Editor's CSS File
const MyComponent = props => {
return (
<div>
<p> My Other Contents </p>
<SunEditor />
</div>
);
};
export default MyComponent;lang
Language of editor
//...
render() {
return <SunEditor lang="en" />
// Default is en
// lang prop can be one of the strings provided in this array ["en", "da", "de", "es", "fr", "ja", "ko", "pt_br", "ru", "zh_cn"]
// Alternatively, an object of your language can be passed to this prop. To learn how to do it refer to the bottom of the page
}width
Set Editor's width
//...
// Accepts number representing px
// or percentage string
// eg width={100} or width="100%"
// default is 100%
render() {
return <SunEditor width="100%" />
}placeholder
Set Editor's placeholder
//...
render() {
return <SunEditor placeholder="Please type here..." />
}autoFocus
Should editor focus when initialized
//...
render() {
return <SunEditor autoFocus={true} />
}setOptions
Set Options (Settings) for the editor Click to see all options available
import SunEditor,{buttonList} from "suneditor-react";
/*
buttonList.basic = basic buttons for wordprocessing
buttonList.formatting = most tools used for formatting - This is the default option
buttonList.complex = contains most of the buttons
Note that you do not need to pass plugins explicitly from the suneditor package. suneditor-react handles it behind the scenes
*/
//...
render() {
return <SunEditor setOptions={{
height: 200,
buttonList: buttonList.formatting // Or Array of button list, eg. [['font', 'align'], ['image']]
// Other option
}} />
}setContents
Set Editor's Initial Content
Note setContents is used to set the initial contents of the editor. If you are setting the contents with a state variable, make sure that you are not using the same variable to handle the onChange event.
//...
render() {
return <SunEditor setContents="My contents" />
}appendContents
Append Editor Content
//...
render() {
return <SunEditor appendContents="My contents" />
}Note: This prop is now dynamic! Which means that, the Boolean passed to the Editor's status prop (like enable, disable, show, hide) can be used to toggle the Editor Status.
This is really useful when you are building an app that requires validation.
enable
Enable Editor
//...
render() {
return <SunEditor enable={true} />
}disable
Disable Editor
//...
render() {
return <SunEditor disable={true} />
}hide
Hide Editor
//...
render() {
return <SunEditor hide={true} />
}show
Show Editor
//...
render() {
return <SunEditor show={true} />
}showToolbar
Show Editor Toolbar
//...
render() {
return <SunEditor showToolbar={true} />
}enableToolbar
Enable Editor Toolbar
//...
render() {
return <SunEditor enableToolbar={true} />

Note that you need to bind the function passed to the event in the constructor if you are using a class Component, or use arrow functions instead. This is just how react works. Otherwise it won't work. This documentation assumes you bind all your functions to the constructor. Eg below:
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this)
}onChange
Note onChange is used to handle changes to the editor. Make sure that you are not using the same variable for setContents.
Has the content inside the editor been changed?
handleChange(content){
console.log(content); //Get Content Inside Editor
}
render() {
return <SunEditor onChange={handleChange} />
}onScroll
Has the editor been scrolled?
handleScroll(event){
console.log(event); //Get the scroll event
}
render() {
return <SunEditor onScroll={handleScroll} />
}onClick
Has the editor been clicked?
handleClick(event){
console.log(event); //Get the click event
}
render() {
return <SunEditor onClick={handleClick} />
}onKeyUp
Has the key been released up in the editor?
handleKeyUp(event){
console.log(event); //Get the keyup event
}
render() {
return <SunEditor onKeyUp={handleKeyUp} />
}onKeyDown
Has the key been pressed down in the editor?
handleKeyDown(event){
console.log(event); //Get the keydown event
}
render() {
return <SunEditor onKeyDown={handleKeyDown} />
}onDrop
Has something been dropped into the editor?
handleDrop(event){
console.log(event); //Get the drop event
}
render() {
return <SunEditor onDrop={handleDrop} />
}onImageUpload
Has an image been uploaded into the editor?
handleImageUpload(targetImgElement, index, state, imageInfo, remainingFilesCount){
console.log(targetImgElement, index, state, imageInfo, remainingFilesCount)
}
render() {
return <SunEditor onImageUpload={handleImageUpload} />
}onPaste
_Has something been pasted into the suneditor?
handlePaste(e, cleanData, maxCharCount){
console.log(e, cleanData, maxCharCount)
}
render() {
return <SunEditor onPaste={handlePaste} />
}onImageUploadError
Has an image uploaded to the editor resulted in an error?
handleImageUploadError(errorMessage, result){
console.log(errorMessage, result)
}
render() {
return <SunEditor onImageUploadError={handleImageUploadError} />
