React SimpleMDE Markdown Editor

React component wrapper for SimpleMDE.

Only two dependencies, React and SimpleMDE.

New in v3

• The initialValue prop has been removed and replaced with a value prop, allowing direct changes to the value to be made after the component mounts.
• Updated in v3.6.8, if rendering server-side, you can set static ids to avoid errors in rendering synchronization.

New in v2

Version 1.0 did not have SimpleMDE options configured well, this readme reflects the changes made to better include options. This is still a very new project. Testing, feedback and PRs are welcome and appreciated.

Usage

View the demo code for a full example.

Not required, but useless without it, the onChange callback is the only option you need to set.

var React = require('react');
var SimpleMDE = require('react-simplemde-editor');

<SimpleMDE
  onChange={this.handleChange}
/>

Options

Set additional SimpleMDE options with an options prop.

Note - while SimpleMDE options has an initialValue option, this component only takes a value prop which is set as the initialValue on first render.

var React = require('react');
var SimpleMDE = require('react-simplemde-editor');

<SimpleMDE
  onChange={this.handleChange}
  value={this.state.textValue}
  options={{
    autofocus: true,
    spellChecker: false,
    // etc.
  }}
/>

You can include key maps using the extraKeys prop. Read more at https://codemirror.net/doc/manual.html#option_extraKeys

extraKeys = {
  Up: function(cm) {
    cm.replaceSelection(" surprise. ");
  },
  Down: function(cm) {
    cm.replaceSelection(" surprise again! ");
  }
};

<SimpleMDE
  onChange={this.handleChange}
  extraKeys={extraKeys}
/>
