Styling the editor

Remirror requires styles for the editor to function correctly across different browsers. These styles can be added in the following ways:

In order to use the styled-components or emotion variants you will need to also install @remirror/styles.

With plain css make sure to wrap your editor with the class .remirror-theme. This adds the CSS variables with their default values to the dom, for consumption by any editors within this area.

Then import the styles from the remirror/styles endpoint as shown below.

import 'remirror/styles/all.css';

The following options assume you have the peer dependencies already installed.

Or with @emotion/styled:

import React from 'react';
import { ThemeProvider } from '@remirror/react';
import { AllStyledComponent } from '@remirror/styles/emotion';

import { MyEditor } from './my-editor';

// Wrap your editor with the component.
const App = () => {
return (
<AllStyledComponent>
<ThemeProvider>
<MyEditor />
</ThemeProvider>
</AllStyledComponent>
);
};

Or with styled-components:

import React from 'react';
import { ThemeProvider } from '@remirror/react';
import { AllStyledComponent } from '@remirror/styles/styled-components';

import { MyEditor } from './my-editor';

// Wrap your editor with the component.
const App = () => {
return (
<AllStyledComponent>
<ThemeProvider>
<MyEditor />
</ThemeProvider>
</AllStyledComponent>
);
};

Or with emotion and the DOM.

// Or with `emotion` using the DOM
import { THEME } from 'remirror';
import { addStylesToElement, allStyles } from '@remirror/styles/dom';

const wrapperElement = document.createElement('div');
wrapperElement.classList.add(THEME); // Add the css variables to the dom.
addStylesToElement(wrapperElement, allStyles);
