Markdown Editor for Compose Multiplatform

Wysiwyg editor component for Markdown text and components to build similar editors.

This repo contains 2 libraries and one app to demonstrate the libs' capabilities.

Usage

The libraries are hosted on Maven Central, so you can use them directly from there.

Gradle:

dependencies {
  api("me.okonecny:interactive-text:0.3.0") // You can omit this one if you only want the whole editor.
  api("me.okonecny:markdown-editor:0.3.0")
}

Interactive Text

Located in the interactive-text are the basic tools, that will enable you to create WYSIWYG editors for various text-based file formats.

InteractiveContainer

This is the glue that makes everything work. It has a few responsibilities:

• Handles cursor navigation using keyboard and pointer.
• Sends text input events.
• Manages visual selection (text that the user sees as selected).
• Contains the all components that constitute the document.
  • You can use any layout you like.
  • You can use any components and mix them with text editable through InteractiveText.

InteractiveText

This is the text, that is editable, if placed inside the InteractiveContainer. Supports InlineTextContent.

TextMapping

Mapping of the visual representation of the document to its source code (and vice-versa). This is the reason why only supports text-based formats are supported.

WysiwygEditor

Builds on top of all the above to give you a simple framework for building your editor. Most importantly it handles the source code editing. Just fill your view to render the document and start editing.

Markdown Editor

Component MarkdownEditor, that builds on the above WysiwygEditor, provides capabilities to edit strings in Markdown format using the fabulous flexmark-java library.

Features:

• Subset of Github-flavored Markdown - especially tables.
• Emoji via the :emoji-name: codes - e.g. :thumbsup: .
• Simple emoji autocompletion.
• Clickable links to anchors within the document.
• Web links.
• Toolbar with basic formatting tools.
• Embedded images, both local and from the web.
• User mentions with autocomplete.
• Customizable rendering of everything (you can write a custom renderer for a block or an inline).

To render the document, MarkdownEditor uses the MarkdownView component, which you can also use standalone to display documents that should not be editable.

Demo App

Demo app is located in the root project. To try it out and play around with MarkdownEditor, just run:

./gradlew :run
