Vanilla JavaScript

Are you using plain JavaScript or a framework that isn't listed? No worries, we provide everything you need.

Hint

If you don't use a bundler like Webpack or Rollup, please follow the CDN guide instead. Since Tiptap is built in a modular way, you will need to use <script type="module"> in your HTML to get our CDN imports working.

Install dependencies

For the following example, you will need @tiptap/core (the actual editor), @tiptap/pm (the ProseMirror library), and @tiptap/starter-kit. The StarterKit doesn't include all extensions, only the most common ones.

npm install @tiptap/core @tiptap/pm @tiptap/starter-kit

Add markup

Add the following HTML where you'd like to mount the editor:

<div class="element"></div>

Initialize the editor

Everything is in place, so let's set up the editor. Add the following code to your JavaScript:

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

new Editor({
  element: document.querySelector('.element'),
  extensions: [StarterKit],
  content: '<p>Hello World!</p>',
})

Open your project in the browser to see Tiptap in action. Good work!
