@eigenpal/docx-js-editor

⚠️ @eigenpal/docx-js-editor is deprecated. It has been renamed to @eigenpal/docx-editor-react, with breaking API changes (component renames, a removed prop, new i18n imports), so it is not a drop-in find/replace. This 0.x line receives critical fixes only.

Install the new package: npm install @eigenpal/docx-editor-react, then follow the migration guide before upgrading.

Open-source WYSIWYG .docx editor for React with canonical OOXML, tracked changes, and real-time collaboration. Agent-ready. Live demo | Documentation

Quick Start

npm install @eigenpal/docx-js-editor

import { useRef } from 'react';
import { DocxEditor, type DocxEditorRef } from '@eigenpal/docx-js-editor';
import '@eigenpal/docx-js-editor/styles.css';

function Editor({ file }: { file: ArrayBuffer }) {
  const editorRef = useRef<DocxEditorRef>(null);
  return <DocxEditor ref={editorRef} documentBuffer={file} mode="editing" onChange={() => {}} />;
}

Next.js / SSR: Use dynamic import — the editor requires the DOM.
