A lightweight, pluggable Markdown editor React component with editor/preview panes, synced scrolling, image upload, and custom parser support (e.g., markdown-it). Written in TypeScript and distributed via npm.

Use cases

• add a markdown editor to a react app
• markdown editor with live html preview
• let users write and preview markdown in a form
• support image upload and drag-drop in a markdown editor
• customize markdown parsing in an editor component
• show only the editor pane or only the preview pane
• use a markdown editor in next.js with client-side rendering

When to choose

• you need a lightweight react markdown editor component
• you want pluggable toolbar buttons and configurable UI
• you need synced scrolling between editing and preview
• you want to plug in your own markdown parser like markdown-it

When to avoid

• you are not using react
• you need a full wysiwyg rich-text editor rather than markdown source editing
• you need a standalone desktop or cli markdown editor
