Getting started with Vue

Requires Vue >= 3.2.0.

Install lexical and lexical-vue:

npm install lexical lexical-vue # or pnpm or yarn

Below is an example of a basic plain text editor using lexical and lexical-vue.

<script setup lang="ts">
import { $getRoot, $getSelection } from 'lexical'

import {
  LexicalAutoFocusPlugin,
  LexicalComposer,
  LexicalContentEditable,
  LexicalHistoryPlugin,
  LexicalOnChangePlugin,
  LexicalPlainTextPlugin,
} from 'lexical-vue'

const config = {
  editable: true,
  theme: {
    // Theme styling goes here
  },
}

function onError(error) {
  throw error
}

// When the editor changes, you can get notified via the
// LexicalOnChangePlugin!
function onChange(editorState) {
  editorState.read(() => {
    // Read the contents of the EditorState here.
    const root = $getRoot()
    const selection = $getSelection()

    console.log(root, selection)
  })
}
</script>

<template>
  <LexicalComposer :initial-config="config" @error="onError">
    <LexicalPlainTextPlugin>
      <template #contentEditable>
        <LexicalContentEditable />
      </template>
      <template #placeholder>
        <div>
          Enter some text...
        </div>
      </template>
    </LexicalPlainTextPlugin>
    <LexicalOnChangePlugin @change="onChange" />
    <LexicalHistoryPlugin />
    <LexicalAutoFocusPlugin />
  </LexicalComposer>
</template>
