Bubble Menu

Version Downloads

This extension will make a contextual menu appear near a selection of text. Use it to let users apply marks to their text selection.

As always, the markup and styling is totally up to you.

Installation

npm install @tiptap/extension-bubble-menu

Settings

element

The DOM element that contains your menu.

Type: HTMLElement

Default: null

updateDelay

The BubbleMenu debounces the update method to allow the bubble menu to not be updated on every selection update. This can be controlled in milliseconds. The BubbleMenuPlugin will come with a default delay of 250ms. This can be deactivated, by setting the delay to 0 which deactivates the debounce.

Type: Number

Default: undefined

tippyOptions

Under the hood, the BubbleMenu uses tippy.js. You can directly pass options to it.

Type: Object

Default: {}

pluginKey

The key for the underlying ProseMirror plugin. Make sure to use different keys if you add more than one instance.

Type: string | PluginKey

Default: 'bubbleMenu'

shouldShow

A callback to control whether the menu should be shown or not.

Type: (props) => boolean

Usage

JavaScript

import { Editor } from '@tiptap/core'
import BubbleMenu from '@tiptap/extension-bubble-menu'

new Editor({
  extensions: [
    BubbleMenu.configure({
      element: document.querySelector('.menu'),
    }),
  ],
})

Frameworks

Custom logic

Customize the logic for showing the menu with the shouldShow option. For components, shouldShow can be passed as a prop.

BubbleMenu.configure({
  shouldShow: ({ editor, view, state, oldState, from, to }) => {
    // only show the bubble menu for images and links
    return editor.isActive('image') || editor.isActive('link')
  },
})

Multiple menus

Use multiple menus by setting an unique pluginKey.

import { Editor } from '@tiptap/core'
import BubbleMenu from '@tiptap/extension-bubble-menu'

new Editor({
  extensions: [
    BubbleMenu.configure({
      pluginKey: 'bubbleMenuOne',
      element: document.querySelector('.menu-one'),
    }),
    BubbleMenu.configure({
      pluginKey: 'bubbleMenuTwo',
      element: document.querySelector('.menu-two'),
    }),
  ],
})

Alternatively you can pass a ProseMirror PluginKey.

import { Editor } from '@tiptap/core'
import BubbleMenu from '@tiptap/extension-bubble-menu'
import { PluginKey } from '@tiptap/pm/state'

new Editor({
  extensions: [
    BubbleMenu.configure({
      pluginKey: new PluginKey('bubbleMenuOne'),
      element: document.querySelector('.menu-one'),
    }),
    BubbleMenu.configure({
      pluginKey: new PluginKey('bubbleMenuTwo'),
      element: document.querySelector('.menu-two'),
    }),
  ],
})
