Angular Tiptap Editor

[!IMPORTANT] ^v3.0.0 uses Tiptap v3. If you need to stay on Tiptap v2, please use version ^2.4.1.

A modern, customizable Angular rich-text editor, built with Tiptap.

High-performance Angular WYSIWYG editor. Built on top of Tiptap and powered by a native Signals architecture, it features a polished, professional design that feels, I think, clean and modern out of the box. Yet, I've worked to keep it fully customizable: you can easily configure the editor, tweak the UI, or even embed your own Angular components as interactive nodes.

✨ Features

• ⚡ Signal-Based: Native performance with ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush.
• 📋 Table of Contents: Notion-style floating or inline TOC component with level-adapted dash collapse.
• 🗂️ Global Editor Registry: Centralized AteEditorRegistry service to track, control, and switch between multi-editor instances.
• 🧩 Angular Nodes: Embed any Angular component as an interactive editor node.
• ⌨️ UX First: Slash commands (/) and context-aware bubble menus (Notion-like).
• ✅ Task Lists: GFM-style checklists with nested sub-tasks, a / slash command, an optional toolbar button and themable checkbox CSS tokens.
• 📊 Table Power: Advanced management with cell selection, merging, and sorting and filtering by column.
• 🖼️ Pro Media: Image resizing, auto-compression, and custom uploaders.
• 🌍 Built-in i18n: Support for English, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish out of the box.
• 📎 Office-Ready: Clean pasting from Word and Excel, with control over what is kept from other apps (paste: colors, highlights, transformHTML hook).
• 🎨 Highly Customizable: Easily configure toolbars, bubble menus, and slash command items.
• 🛠️ Extensible: Easily add custom Tiptap extensions and reactive state calculators.
• 🧩 Angular 18+ Support: Uses Angular 18's signals and esbuild for optimal performance.

📦 Installation

npm install @flogeez/angular-tiptap-editor

Add the styles to your angular.json:

{
  "styles": [
    ...
    "node_modules/@flogeez/angular-tiptap-editor/styles/index.css",
    ...
  ]
}

Icons

The library ships every icon it uses as inline SVG (Material Symbols, Apache 2.0): no icon font is required.

To use any Material Symbols name in your own toolbar items, bubble menus or slash commands, also load the font. Unregistered names fall back to it:

"node_modules/@fontsource/material-symbols-outlined/index.css",

Library icons are keyed by what they do, not by what they draw: bold, heading1, bulletList, link, unsetLink, addRowBefore, mergeCells, deleteTable, undo… (see the AteIconName type for the full list). Override any of them, use the built-in /ATE stroke set (ATE_STROKE_ICONS), or register your own icons with provideAteIcons at application bootstrap (app.config.ts / main.ts), or at runtime with inject(AteIconRegistry).register(...):

providers: [
  provideAteEditor(),
  provideAteIcons(ATE_STROKE_ICONS), // or pass a custom AteIcons map:
  provideAteIcons({
    bold: '<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2"><path d="…"/></svg>', // full <svg>: any viewBox, keeps its own fill/stroke
    rocket: '<path d="…"/>', // or inner markup: Material Symbols viewBox (0 -960 960 960), filled with currentColor
  }),
];

Custom toolbar items, bubble menu items and slash commands can then use icon: "rocket". Icons are sized with 1em. Use currentColor in a full <svg> (fill or stroke) so it follows the text color, like the library icons do. Use <ate-icon name="…" /> to render them in your own components.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Global Setup

Initialize the library in app.config.ts:

export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
  providers: [provideAteEditor()],
};

2. Basic Usage

import { AngularTiptapEditorComponent } from "@flogeez/angular-tiptap-editor";

@Component({
  selector: "app-example",
  standalone: true,
  imports: [AngularTiptapEditorComponent],
  template: `<angular-tiptap-editor
    [content]="content"
    (contentChange)="onContentChange($event)" />`,
})
export class ExampleComponent {
  content = "<p>Hello World!</p>";
  onContentChange(html: string) {
    console.log(html);
  }
}

3. Reactive Forms Integration

import { FormControl, ReactiveFormsModule } from "@angular/forms";

@Component({
  standalone: true,
  imports: [AngularTiptapEditorComponent, ReactiveFormsModule],
  template: ` <angular-tiptap-editor [formControl]="contentControl" /> `,
})
export class FormComponent {
  contentControl = new FormControl("<p>Initial content</p>");
}

⚙️ Configuration

The editor is fully configurable via the [config] input:

editorConfig: AteEditorConfig = {
  locale: "fr",
  placeholder: "Commencez à rédiger...",
  toolbar: { ...ATE_DEFAULT_TOOLBAR_CONFIG, highlight: true },
  slashCommands: { heading1: true, table: true },
};

See the API reference for the full list of inputs and configuration options.

🧩 Advanced Features

Image Upload Handler

Avoid base64 by providing a custom uploader (S3, Cloudinary, etc.):

The same handler is used for all file-based image insertions: toolbar picker, drag-and-drop, and clipboard paste.

uploadHandler: AteImageUploadHandler = ctx => {
  return this.http.post<any>("/api/upload", ctx.file).pipe(map(res => ({ src: res.url })));
};

Image URL Resolver

Images behind authentication? Use [imageSrcResolver] (or imageSrcResolver in [config]) to show a different URL (e.g. a blob: fetched with a token) while the document keeps the original src. See Images Behind Authentication.

🚀 More Advanced Capabilities

Looking for deeper integration patterns? Explore our Advanced Usage Guide:

• 🧩 Custom Angular Nodes: Embed any Angular component as interactive editor nodes.
• 📋 Table of Contents: Responsive, Notion-style floating or inline TOC.
• 🗂️ Global Editor Registry: Track and control multi-editor instances via DI.
• ⚡ Programmatic Control: Execute commands remotely via AteEditorCommandsService.
• ⌨️ Custom Slash Commands: Add custom actions and templates to the / menu.
• 🛠️ Tiptap Extensions & State Calculators: Extend schema and custom reactive state.

🌍 i18n & 🎨 Styling

• Languages: English (en), French (fr), German (de), Italian (it), Portuguese (pt, Brazilian wording) and Spanish (es) built-in. Detects browser language automatically (regional tags like pt-BR or es-MX resolve to their language). Set locale on one editor (input or config) to translate that instance only, with no effect on other editors or the global locale. Extend with AteI18nService.addTranslations().
• Styling: Customize via CSS variables (e.g., --ate-primary, --ate-border-radius, and much more).
  • Links follow --ate-primary and --ate-primary-hover by default. Set --ate-link-color and --ate-link-hover-color to give links their own colors without changing the primary color.
• Dark Mode: Works natively by adding .dark or [data-theme="dark"].
