this api return a markdown content

MdEditor.getHtmlValue () => String

this api return a html text

Custom Markdown Parser

we recommend using markdown-it as markown parser, because it supports configurable syntax and has many community-written plugins.You can use any other parser instead of markdown-it.

npm install markdown-it --save

Basic Usage

Use markdown-it as markdown parser

'use strict';
import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import MdEditor from 'react-markdown-editor-lite'
import MarkdownIt from 'markdown-it'

const MOCK_DATA = "Hello.\n\n * This is markdown.\n * It is fun\n * Love it or leave it."
export default class Demo extends React.Component {
  mdParser = null
  constructor(props) {
    super(props)
    this.mdParser = new MarkdownIt(/* Markdown-it options */)
  }
  handleEditorChange ({html, text}) {    
    console.log('handleEditorChange', html, text)
  }
  render() {
    return (      
      <div style="height: 500px">
        <MdEditor
          value={MOCK_DATA}
          renderHTML={(text) => this.mdParser.render(text)}
          onChange={this.handleEditorChange} 
        />                
      </div>
    )
  }
}
