DraftJS: Import Element to ContentState

This is a module for DraftJS that will convert an HTML DOM Element to editor content.

It was extracted from React-RTE and placed into a separate module for more general use. Hopefully it can be helpful in your projects.

Installation

npm install --save draft-js-import-element

This project is still under development. If you want to help out, please open an issue to discuss or join us on Slack.

Usage

stateFromElement takes a DOM node element and returns a DraftJS ContentState.

import {stateFromElement} from 'draft-js-import-element';
const contentState = stateFromElement(element);

Options

You can optionally pass a second Object argument to stateFromElement with the following supported properties:

Option key	Option Description
elementStyles	HTML element name as key, DraftJS style string as value.
customStyleMap	Custom style mapping object, similar to the customStyleMap the draft-js Editor receives.

Example of options usage:

import {stateFromElement} from 'draft-js-import-element';
let options = {
  elementStyles: {
    // Support `<sup>` (superscript) tag as style:
    'sup': 'SUPERSCRIPT'
  },
  customStyleMap: {
    RED: { color: 'red' }
  }
};
const contentState = stateFromElement(element, options);
