textarea-editor

Simple markdown editor for textareas, without a UI. Inspired by Github's comment editor.

Usage

import TextareaEditor from 'textarea-editor';
const textarea = document.querySelector('textarea');
const editor = new TextareaEditor(textarea);

editor.insert('Hello world!');
editor.range([0, 5]);
editor.format('bold');
assert(textarea.value == '**Hello** world!');

editor.unformat('bold');
editor.format('italic');
assert(textarea.value == '_Hello_ world!');

For an example with a UI, see the example folder or run yarn start.

All default formats are exposed, and can easily be modified or extended.

Custom formats

A format should be an object with the following properties:

• block - (Optional) A boolean indicating whether or not this is a block, and should be newline separated from the rest of the text (e.g. code block).
• multiline - (Optional) A boolean indicating whether or not this is a multiline format (e.g. ordered list).
• prefix
  • value - A string or a function that generates a value (useful for prefixes that change based on line number, such as ordered lists). The function gets called for each line in the current selection (unless .multiline is false, in which case the entire selected text is passed), and is given the line, the line number, and any additional arguments passed to .format().
  • pattern - A string containing a pattern that identifies the prefix when used in a regular expression (double escape special chars).
  • antipattern - (Optional) A string containing a pattern that identifies prefixes that would be found by .pattern, but should be ignored because they are part of other prefixes (e.g ## would match parts of ###). This is a very ugly hack, should find a better way to solve this in the future.
• suffix
  • Same properties as .prefix, but gets inserted after the current selection.

Example

textarea.value = 'Hello\nWorld';

const orderedList = {
  block: true,
  multiline: true,
  prefix: {
    value: (line, no) => `${no}. `,
    pattern: '[0-9]+\\. '
  }
};

editor.range([0, textarea.value.length])
editor.format(orderedList);
assert(textarea.value == '1. Hello\n2. World');

Simple formats can be defined by giving .prefix and .suffix a string value.

textarea.value = 'Hello World';
editor.range([0, textarea.value.length]);
editor.format({ prefix: '#{', suffix: '}' });
assert(textarea.value == '#{Hello World}');
