How can I manage HTML tags in Tiptap?

Handling HTML tags in Tiptap, a rich text editor built on Prosemirror, involves understanding how Tiptap manages its content and schema. Here’s a guide to effectively work with HTML tags in Tiptap:

1. Install Tiptap

If you haven’t already, make sure to install Tiptap in your project:

#bash
npm install @tiptap/core @tiptap/starter-kit

2. Basic Setup

Set up Tiptap in your component:

#javascript
import { Editor } from '@tiptap/core';
import StarterKit from '@tiptap/starter-kit';

const editor = new Editor({
  content: '<p>Hello World!</p>', // Initial content
  extensions: [StarterKit],
});

3. Handling HTML Content

You can set and get HTML content in Tiptap using the getHTML() and setContent() methods.

Get HTML Content

To retrieve the current content as HTML:

#javascript
const html = editor.getHTML();
console.log(html); // Outputs: <p>Hello World!</p>

Set HTML Content

To set content using HTML:

#javascript
editor.setContent('<h1>Welcome</h1><p>This is Tiptap!</p>');

4. Custom HTML Tags

If you want to handle custom HTML tags or elements, you need to extend Tiptap’s schema:

Create a Custom Node

Here’s an example of how to create a custom node:

#javascript
import { Node, mergeAttributes } from '@tiptap/core';

const CustomNode = Node.create({
  name: 'customNode',

  inline: true, // Set to true for inline nodes
  group: 'inline', // Grouping of the node

  // Define how the node is rendered in HTML
  toHTML({ node }) {
    return `<custom-tag>${node.content.map((n) => n.text).join('')}</custom-tag>`;
  },

  // Define how to parse the HTML
  parseHTML() {
    return [
      {
        tag: 'custom-tag',
      },
    ];
  },
});

Use the Custom Node

Add the custom node to your editor:

#javascript
const editor = new Editor({
  content: '<custom-tag>Hello Custom Node!</custom-tag>',
  extensions: [StarterKit, CustomNode],
});

5. Handling Output

When you need to handle the output HTML (e.g., saving or displaying), you can get the HTML and use it as needed:

#javascript
const outputHTML = editor.getHTML();
// Use outputHTML as needed

Note:

Handling HTML tags in Tiptap involves using built-in methods to get and set content, as well as extending the schema for custom tags. This approach provides flexibility for creating rich text editing experiences tailored to your requirements.
