nostr-editor

CI Checks

nostr-editor is a collection of Tiptap extensions designed to enhance the user experience when creating and editing nostr notes. It also provides tools for parsing existing notes into a structured content schema.

What is tiptap?

Tiptap is a headless wrapper around ProseMirror, offering a more developer-friendly API for building rich text editors. nostr-editor uses Tiptap to simplify integration with frameworks like React and Svelte, making it easy to create customized nostr-compatible editors.

What is prosemirror?

ProseMirror is the underlying core framework that powers Tiptap and other WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) editors.

Features

  • Fully customizable extensions
  • Parse existing nostr events, including imeta tags (NIP-94)
  • Automatically convert nostr links to their appropriate nodes during paste operations (nostr:nevent1, nostr:nprofile1, nostr:naddr, nostr:npub, nostr:note1)
  • Handle file uploads to a NIP-96 or blossom compatible server
  • Supports markdown long-form content
  • Supports bolt11 invoices
  • Supports youtube and tweet links
  • Automatically rejects and alerts if the user mistakenly pastes an nsec1 key.

Usage

React

Here's a basic setup example using React:

import { Editor } from '@tiptap/core'
import { useEditor, EditorContent, ReactNodeViewRenderer } from '@tiptap/react'
import StarterKit from '@tiptap/starter-kit'

function MyEditor() {
  const editor = useEditor({
    autofocus: true,
    extensions: [
      StarterKit,
      NostrExtension.configure({
        extend: {
          nprofile: { addNodeView: () => ReactNodeViewRenderer(MyReactMentionComponent) },
          nevent: { addNodeView: () => ReactNodeViewRenderer(MyReactNEventComponent) },
          naddr: { addNodeView: () => ReactNodeViewRenderer(MyReactNaddrComponent) },
          image: { addNodeView: () => ReactNodeViewRenderer(MyReactImageComponent) },
          video: { addNodeView: () => ReactNodeViewRenderer(MyReactVideoComponent) },
          tweet: { addNodeView: () => ReactNodeViewRenderer(MyReactTweetComponent) },
        },
        link: { autolink: true }
      }),
    ],
    onUpdate: () => {
      const contentSchema = editor.getJSON()
      const contentText = editor.getText()
    },
  })

  return (
    <EditorContent editor={editor} />
  )
}

svelte

<script lang="ts">
  import { onMount } from 'svelte'
  import type { Readable } from 'svelte/store'
  import { createEditor, type Editor, EditorContent, SvelteNodeViewRenderer } from 'svelte-tiptap'
  import StarterKit from '@tiptap/starter-kit'
  import { NostrExtension } from 'nostr-editor'

  let editor: Readable<Editor>

  onMount(() => {
    editor = new Editor({
      extensions: [
        StarterKit,
        NostrExtension.configure({
          extend: {
            nprofile: { addNodeView: () => SvelteNodeViewRenderer(MySvelteMentionComponent) },
            nevent: { addNodeView: () => SvelteNodeViewRenderer(MySvelteNEventComponent) },
            naddr: { addNodeView: () =>  SvelteNodeViewRenderer(MySvelteNaddrComponent) },
            image: { addNodeView: () => SvelteNodeViewRenderer(MySvelteImageComponent) },
            video: { addNodeView: () => SvelteNodeViewRenderer(MySvelteVideoComponent) },
            tweet: { addNodeView: () => SvelteNodeViewRenderer(MySvelteTweetComponent) },
          },
        }),
      ],
      content: '',
      onUpdate: () => {
        contentSchema = $editor.getJSON()
        contentText = $editor.getText()
      },
    })
  })
</script>

<main>
  <EditorContent editor={$editor} />
</main>

Rendering node views

nostr-editor is framework-agnostic and does not ship with pre-built components (yet). You should provide your own React or Svelte components for each extension.

NostrExtension.configure({
  extend: {
    nprofile: { addNodeView: () => ReactNodeViewRenderer(MyReactMentionComponent) },
    ...
  },
}),
import type { NodeViewProps } from '@tiptap/core'
import { NodeViewWrapper } from '@tiptap/react'

export function MyReactMentionComponent(props: NodeViewProps) {
  const { pubkey, relays } = props.node.attrs
  const { getProfile } = useNDK() // nostr-tools or other nostr client library
  return (
    <NodeViewWrapper as='span'>
      @{getProfile(pubkey).display_name}
    </NodeViewWrapper>
  )
}

Image Upload

To handle image uploads with nostr-editor, you can configure the extension as follows:

NostrExtension.configure({
  image: {
    defaultUploadUrl: 'https://nostr.build',
    defaultUploadType: 'nip96', // or blossom
  },
  video: {
    defaultUploadUrl: 'https://nostr.build',
    defaultUploadType: 'nip96', // or blossom
  },
  fileUpload: {
    immediateUpload: true, // It will automatically upload when a file is added to the editor, if false, call `editor.commands.uploadFiles()` manually
    sign: async (event) => {
      if ('nostr' in window) {
        const nostr = window.nostr as NostrExtension
        return await nostr.signEvent(event)
      }
    },
    onDrop() {
      // File added to the editor
    },
    onComplete() {
      // All files were successfully uploaded
    },
  },
}),

Trigger a input type='file' popup

Parsing existing notes

You can set the editor an existing nostr event in order to parse it's contents

const event = {
  kind: 1,
  content: 'Hello nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcprfmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuem9w3skccne9e3k7mf0wccsqgxxvqas78x0a339m8qgkaf7fam5atmarne8dy3rzfd4l4x6w2qpncmfs8zh'
  ...
}

editor.commands.setEventContent(event)
editor.getJSON()

Response

{
  "type": "doc",
  "content": [
    {
      "type": "paragraph",
      "content": [
        { "type": "text", "text": "Hello " },
        {
          "type": "nprofile",
          "attrs": {
            "nprofile": "nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcprfmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuem9w3skccne9e3k7mf0wccsqgxxvqas78x0a339m8qgkaf7fam5atmarne8dy3rzfd4l4x6w2qpncmfs8zh",
            "pubkey": "c6603b0f1ccfec625d9c08b753e4f774eaf7d1cf2769223125b5fd4da728019e",
            "relays": ["wss://nos.lol/", "wss://relay.damus.io/", "wss://relay.getalby.com/v1"]
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Parsing existing long-form content notes

The same thing as a normal note, just make sure your added the Markdown extension from tiptap-markdown

import { Markdown } from 'tiptap-markdown'

const editor = useEditor({
  autofocus: true,
  extensions: [
    StarterKit,
    Markdown.configure({
      transformCopiedText: true,
      transformPastedText: true,
    }),
    NostrExtension.configure({
      link: { autolink: true }, // needed for markdown links
    }),
  ],
})

Commands

nostr-editor provides several commands to insert various types of content and manage media uploads.

insertNevent

editor.commands.insertNEvent({ nevent: 'nostr:nevent1...' })

insertNprofile

editor.commands.insertNProfile({ nprofile: 'nostr:nprofile1...' })

insertNAddr

editor.commands.insertNAddr({ naddr: 'nostr:naddr1...' })

insertBolt11

editor.commands.insertBolt11({ lnbc: 'lnbc...' })

selectFiles

Triggers a input type='file' click

editor.commands.selectFiles()

uploadFiles

Upload all pending images and videos,

editor.commands.uploadFiles()

This command returns true when the upload starts, not when the upload is completed. You can use onComplete() callback in the fileUpload extension options.

const editor = useEditor({
  extensions: [
    NostrExtension.configure({
      fileUpload: {
        onComplete: () => console.log('All files uploaded'),
      },
    }),
  ],
})

Note: all nostr: prefixes are optional

Roadmap

  • Add support for Asciidoc
  • Issue #2
  • Implement collaborative editing features with Yjs
