## Markdown wysiwyg and markup editor

MarkdownEditor is a powerful tool for working with Markdown, which combines WYSIWYG and Markup modes. This means that you can create and edit content in a convenient visual mode, as well as have full control over the markup.

### 🔧 Main features

- Support for the basic Markdown and [YFM](https://ydocs.tech) syntax.
- Extensibility through the use of ProseMirror and CodeMirror engines.
- The ability to work in WYSIWYG and Markup modes for maximum flexibility.

## Install

```shell
npm install @gravity-ui/markdown-editor
```

### Required dependencies

Please note that to start using the package, your project must also have the following installed: `@diplodoc/transform`, `react`, `react-dom`, `@gravity-ui/uikit`, `@gravity-ui/components` and some others. Check out the `peerDependencies` section of `package.json` for accurate information.

## Getting started

The markdown editor is supplied as a React hook to create an instance of editor and a component for rendering the view.\
To set up styling and theme see [UIKit docs](https://github.com/gravity-ui/uikit?tab=readme-ov-file#styles).

```tsx
import React from 'react';
import {useMarkdownEditor, MarkdownEditorView} from '@gravity-ui/markdown-editor';

function Editor({onSubmit}) {
  const editor = useMarkdownEditor({allowHTML: false});

  React.useEffect(() => {
    function submitHandler() {
      // Serialize current content to markdown markup
      const value = editor.getValue();
      onSubmit(value);
    }

    editor.on('submit', submitHandler);
    return () => {
      editor.off('submit', submitHandler);
    };
  }, [onSubmit]);

  return <MarkdownEditorView stickyToolbar autofocus editor={editor} />;
}
```
