Overview

Building a rich text editor from scratch means handling cursor behavior, formatting, and document structure yourself. Tiptap is a headless, framework-agnostic rich text editor library built on the ProseMirror foundation. It ships without a user interface, so developers keep full design freedom over how the editor looks and behaves. Functionality is added through extensions, from simple text styling to block-based editing, with more than 100 available in the documentation and community. Developers can also define their own extensions and nodes. The library works with Vue, React and plain JavaScript, and collaborative editing can be added with the open-source Hocuspocus backend. Tiptap is aimed at web developers who need a customizable editor inside their own applications. It is released under the MIT license and can be installed as an npm package, with an agent skill available to help coding assistants set it up. What it solves: a flexible, extensible editing core you control, without locking your UI to someone else's design. It is distributed as an open-source library under the MIT license. It suits teams building editors into products. Tiptap is a popular choice for this job. See the documentation to get started quickly. Thanks for reading.

Tiptap Editor

The Tiptap Editor is a headless, framework-agnostic rich text editor that's customizable and extendable through extensions. Its headless nature means it comes without a set user interface, offering full design freedom (for a jumpstart, see linked UI templates below). Tiptap is based on the highly reliable ProseMirror library.

Tiptap Editor is complemented by the collaboration open-source backend Hocuspocus. Both the Editor and Hocuspocus form the foundation of the Tiptap Suite.

How does the Tiptap Editor work?

  • Headless Framework: Tiptap does not rely on a user interface. So there is no need for class overrides or code hacks. If you do need an example UI feel free to browse our UI templates linked below.
  • Framework-agnostic: The Tiptap Editor is designed to work across different frontend frameworks. This means whether you're using Vue, React, or plain JavaScript, Tiptap integrates without compatibility issues.
  • Extension based: Extensions in Tiptap allow for a tailored editing experience, from simple text styling to advanced features like drag-and-drop block editing. You have the option to choose from over 100 extensions available in the documentation and community to enhance your editor's functionality.
  • Customize your UX: The editor was built to give you control to define your own extensions and nodes.

Editor Pro Extensions

The Pro Extensions are a set of advanced functionalities that enhance the capabilities of the Tiptap Editor. They are additional features that can be integrated into the base editor to provide more sophisticated editing options.

Key functionalities include collaborative editing, commenting, versioning, document conversion and AI related features. Review the docs right here.

Pro Extensions need a valid subscription.
