tiptap-rs

Wasm Bindings for Tiptap — Type-safe Rust bindings for the Tiptap headless rich text editor. This crate's API is designed to reflect Tiptap's original JavaScript API as faithfully as possible, while also providing a more idiomatic Rust experience.

📦 Installation

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
tiptap-rs = "0.1.2"

Setup

Add the following script to your HTML <head> tag to make Tiptap available to your Wasm module:

<script type="module">
    import * as Tiptap from "https://esm.sh/@tiptap/core";
    import StarterKit from "https://esm.sh/@tiptap/starter-kit";

    window.Tiptap = Tiptap;
    window.StarterKit = StarterKit;
</script>

🧪 Usage

1. Basic Editor Setup

Create a Tiptap editor:

use tiptap_rs::prelude::*;
use web_sys::*;

let document = gloo::utils::document();
let element = document.query_selector(".editor").unwrap().unwrap();

let options = EditorOptions {
    element,
    content: "<p>Hello from Rust!</p>".to_string(),
    extensions: vec![StarterKit],
};

let editor = Editor::new(options);

2. Using Chained Commands

Tiptap's original API is faithfully mirrored to provide a seamless transition from JS:

// Toggle bold formatting
editor.chain().focus().toggle_bold().run();

// Toggle italic formatting
editor.chain().focus().toggle_italic().run();

Some methods deviate from their original counterparts for ease of use, e.g.:

// Toggle heading level
// Note: One method per level, original is `.toggleHeading({ level: 1 })`
editor.chain().focus().toggle_h1().run();

3. Handling Button Events

Connect editor commands to UI buttons:

use wasm_bindgen::prelude::*;

let editor_clone = editor.clone();
let callback = Closure::wrap(Box::new(move |_| {
    editor_clone.chain().focus().toggle_bold().run();
}) as Box<dyn FnMut(_)>);

let bold_button = document.query_selector(".bold-button").unwrap().unwrap();
bold_button.add_event_listener_with_callback("click", callback.as_ref().unchecked_ref()).unwrap();
callback.forget();

4. Supported Extensions

The following Tiptap extensions have Rust bindings:

Text Formatting: Bold, Italic, Strike-through
Lists: Bullet lists, Ordered lists
Headings: H1 through H6
Basic Blocks: Paragraphs
StarterKit: Complete bundle of common extensions

📐 API Reference
