Kit Usage

Installation

The fastest way to add the code plugin is with the BasicMarksKit, which includes pre-configured CodePlugin along with other basic marks and their Plate UI components.

'use client';
 
import {
  BoldPlugin,
  CodePlugin,
  HighlightPlugin,
  ItalicPlugin,
  KbdPlugin,
  StrikethroughPlugin,
  SubscriptPlugin,
  SuperscriptPlugin,
  UnderlinePlugin,
} from '@platejs/basic-nodes/react';
 
import { CodeLeaf } from '@/components/ui/code-node';
import { HighlightLeaf } from '@/components/ui/highlight-node';
import { KbdLeaf } from '@/components/ui/kbd-node';
 
export const BasicMarksKit = [
  BoldPlugin,
  ItalicPlugin,
  UnderlinePlugin,
  CodePlugin.configure({
    node: { component: CodeLeaf },
    shortcuts: { toggle: { keys: 'mod+e' } },
  }),
  StrikethroughPlugin.configure({
    shortcuts: { toggle: { keys: 'mod+shift+x' } },
  }),
  SubscriptPlugin.configure({
    shortcuts: { toggle: { keys: 'mod+comma' } },
  }),
  SuperscriptPlugin.configure({
    shortcuts: { toggle: { keys: 'mod+period' } },
  }),
  HighlightPlugin.configure({
    node: { component: HighlightLeaf },
    shortcuts: { toggle: { keys: 'mod+shift+h' } },
  }),
  KbdPlugin.withComponent(KbdLeaf),
];
  • CodeLeaf: Renders inline code elements.

Add Kit

Add the kit to your plugins:

import { createPlateEditor } from 'platejs/react';
import { BasicMarksKit } from '@/components/editor/plugins/basic-marks-kit';
 
const editor = createPlateEditor({
  plugins: [
    // ...otherPlugins,
    ...BasicMarksKit,
  ],
});

Manual Usage

Installation

pnpm add @platejs/basic-nodes

Add Plugin

Include CodePlugin in your Plate plugins array when creating the editor.

import { CodePlugin } from '@platejs/basic-nodes/react';
import { createPlateEditor } from 'platejs/react';
 
const editor = createPlateEditor({
  plugins: [
    // ...otherPlugins,
    CodePlugin,
  ],
});

Configure Plugin

You can configure the CodePlugin with a custom component and keyboard shortcuts.

import { CodePlugin } from '@platejs/basic-nodes/react';
import { createPlateEditor } from 'platejs/react';
import { CodeLeaf } from '@/components/ui/code-node';
 
const editor = createPlateEditor({
  plugins: [
    // ...otherPlugins,
    CodePlugin.configure({
      node: { component: CodeLeaf },
      shortcuts: { toggle: { keys: 'mod+e' } },
    }),
  ],
});
  • node.component: Assigns CodeLeaf to render inline code elements.
  • shortcuts.toggle: Defines a keyboard shortcut to toggle code formatting.

Add Toolbar Button

You can add MarkToolbarButton to your Toolbar to toggle code formatting.
