## 💡 Introduction

[Vditor](https://b3log.org/vditor) is a browser-side Markdown editor, Support WYSIWYG, instant rendering (similar to Typora) and split-screen preview mode. It is implemented using TypeScript and supports native JavaScript and frameworks such as Vue, React, Angular, and Svelte..

Welcome to [Vditor Official Site](https://b3log.org/vditor) to learn more.

## 🗺️ Background

With the popularization of Markdown typesetting methods, more and more applications begin to integrate the Markdown editor. The current status of mainstream integrable Markdown editors is as follows:

* Some only support split-screen preview, that is, the editing area and preview area are separated
* Some support WYSIWYG and split-screen previews at the same time, but they cannot fully support Markdown syntax typesetting in WYSIWYG mode
* There is almost no instant rendering similar to Typora

These three points correspond to three application scenarios:

* Split screen preview: adapt to the traditional Markdown usage scene, suitable for editing and typesetting on a large screen
* WYSIWYG: Friendly to users who are not familiar with Markdown, users who are familiar with Markdown can also use it seamlessly
* Instant rendering: In theory, this is the most elegant Markdown editing method, allowing users familiar with Markdown to focus more on content creation

Therefore, a Markdown editor that can **adapt to application scenarios** is essential, it needs to consider:

* Use scenes of traditional Markdown users, providing split screen preview
* Rich text editing users' usage scenarios, providing WYSIWYG
* High-end Markdown users' use scenes, providing instant rendering

Vditor has made efforts in these areas, hoping to make some contributions to the modern general Markdown editing field.

### Instant Rendering

*Instant Rendering* mode should not be unfamiliar to users who are familiar with Typora. In theory, this is the most elegant Markdown editing method.

#### options.upload

* The data structure of the file upload is as follows. When the data structure returned by the backend is inconsistent, you can use `format` for conversion.

// return data

 "msg": "",

 "errFiles": ['filename', 'filename2'],
 "succMap": {
   "filename3": "filepath3",
   "filename3": "filepath3"
   }
 }
}
```

* In order to prevent the off-site pictures from being invalid, `linkToImgUrl` can transfer the off-site picture addresses in the clipboard to the server for saving and processing. The data structure is as follows:

```js
// POST data
xhr.send(JSON.stringify({url: src})); // src is the address of the image outside the station

#### static methods

* When no editing operation is required, just introduce [`method.min.js`](https://unpkg.com/vditor/dist/) and directly call

```js
Vditor.mermaidRender(document)
```

```js
import VditorPreview from 'vditor/dist/method.min'
VditorPreview.mermaidRender(document)
```

* When you need to render Markdown on the page, you can directly call the `preview` method with the following parameters:

```ts
previewElement: HTMLDivElement,   // Use this element for rendering
markdown: string,  // The original markdown to be rendered
options?: IPreviewOptions {
  mode: "dark" | "light";
  anchor?: number;  // 0: no render, 1: render left, 2: render right
  customEmoji?: { [key: string]: string };    // Custom emoji, default is {}
  lang?: (keyof II18nLang);    // Language, default is 'zh_CN'
  emojiPath?: string;    // Emoji picture path
  hljs?: IHljs; // Refer to options.preview.hljs
  speech?: {  // Read the selected content
    enable?: boolean,
  };
  math?: IMath; // Math formula rendering configuration
  transform?(html: string): string; // Callback method before rendering
  after?(); // Callback method after rendering
  cdn?: string; // Self-built CDN address
  lazyLoadImage?: string; // use "https://unpkg.com/vditor/dist/images/img-loading.svg" to lazy load image
  markdown?: options.preview.markdown;
  renderers?: ILuteRender; // Custom rendering method https://ld246.com/article/1588412297062
}
```

* ⚠️`method.min.js` and` index.min.js` cannot be introduced at the same time

* [Lute is a Markdown engine optimized for Chinese context, supports Go and JavaScript](https://ld246.com/article/1567047822949)

### Environment

1. Install [node](https://nodejs.org/) LTS version
2. [Download](https://github.com/Vanessa219/vditor/archive/master.zip) latest code and unzip
3. Run `npm install` in the root directory
4. `npm run start` Start the local server, open http: // localhost: 9000
5. Modify the code
6. `npm run build` package code to dist directory

### CDN switch

Due to the on-demand loading mechanism, the default CDN is [https://unpkg.com/vditor](https://unpkg.com/vditor)@version number

If the code is modified or you need to use a self-built CDN, you can follow the steps below:

* The initial `options` and` IPreviewOptions` need to add `cdn` configuration
* `highlightRender`,` mathRender`, `abcRender`,` chartRender`, `mermaidRender` methods need to add cdn parameter
* Copy the dist directory in the successful build or [jsDelivr](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/vditor?path=dist) to the correct location

### Upgrade

Please read [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/Vanessa219/vditor/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) carefully when upgrading the version.

## 📽️ History

In the initial stage of developing [Sym](https://github.com/88250/symphony), we directly used WYSIWYG rich text editor. At that time, HTML-based editors were very popular, and it was very convenient to quote them in the project, which also conformed to the usage habits of users at that time.

Later, the rise of Markdown gradually changed everyone's typography. In addition, several of our other projects are for programmer users, so it is also a general trend to migrate to md. We chose [CodeMirror](https://github.com/codemirror/CodeMirror), which is an excellent editor, it provides a rich programming interface for developers, and is also compatible with various browsers. it is good.

Later, as the business needs of our projects have precipitated, using CodeMirror sometimes feels more "cumbersome." For example, to implement @automatically complete the user name list, insert Emoji, upload files, etc., it requires more in-depth secondary development, and these business requirements are precisely common and necessary in many project scenarios.

Finally, we decided to start implementing the editor ourselves in Sym. With the iterations of several versions, Sym's editor has matured. In the community [LianDi](https://ld246.com) that we operate, people have asked us if we can separate the editor for everyone to use. At the same time, our front-end main programmer [V](https://ld246.com/member/Vanessa) also felt a little bit overwhelmed with maintaining the editors scattered in various projects, plus a good impression of TypeScript, so I decided Use ts to implement a new browser-side md editor.

So, Vditor was born.
