Kit Usage

Installation

The fastest way to add date functionality is with the DateKit, which includes pre-configured DatePlugin with Plate UI components.

'use client';
 
import { DatePlugin } from '@platejs/date/react';
 
import { DateElement } from '@/components/ui/date-node';
 
export const DateKit = [DatePlugin.withComponent(DateElement)];

Add Kit

Add the kit to your plugins:

import { createPlateEditor } from 'platejs/react';
import { DateKit } from '@/components/editor/plugins/date-kit';
 
const editor = createPlateEditor({
  plugins: [
    // ...otherPlugins,
    ...DateKit,
  ],
});

Manual Usage

pnpm add @platejs/date

Add Plugin

import { DatePlugin } from '@platejs/date/react';
import { createPlateEditor } from 'platejs/react';
 
const editor = createPlateEditor({

    // ...otherPlugins,
    DatePlugin,
  ],
});

Configure Plugin

Configure the plugin with a custom component to render date elements.

import { DatePlugin } from '@platejs/date/react';
import { createPlateEditor } from 'platejs/react';
import { DateElement } from '@/components/ui/date-node';
 
const editor = createPlateEditor({
  plugins: [
    // ...otherPlugins,
    DatePlugin.withComponent(DateElement),
  ],
});
  • withComponent: Assigns DateElement to render inline date elements.
