## What it is
An official React component that embeds Unlayer's drag-and-drop email editor into any React application. It lets developers load and save email designs, listen to editor events, customize configuration, and export responsive HTML without building a visual editor from scratch.

## Use cases
- embed a drag-and-drop email builder in a react app
- let users create and edit email templates visually
- export responsive html emails that render in gmail and outlook
- add an ai-powered email template editor to a saas product
- save and load email designs as json in my application
- build an email marketing campaign editor without maintaining a wysiwyg editor

## When to choose
- you need a production-ready visual email builder inside a React app
- you want responsive email HTML export compatible with major email clients
- you want AI-assisted template creation and HTML import features
- you prefer embedding a maintained editor over building one in-house

## When to avoid
- you need a fully free, self-hosted editor with no vendor dependency - the underlying Unlayer editor is a commercial service with paid tiers
- your app is not React-based (Vue/Angular wrappers exist separately)
- you only need to send transactional emails rather than let users design templates
- you require deep customization of the editor internals beyond the exposed configuration API
