Install with npm

Add Document Authoring to your application with npm. The library is available through the npm registry(opens in a new tab).

Requirements

• The latest stable version of Node.js(opens in a new tab).
• A package manager compatible with npm(opens in a new tab). This guide contains examples for Yarn(opens in a new tab), pnpm(opens in a new tab), the npm CLI(opens in a new tab), and Bun(opens in a new tab). Node.js installs the npm CLI by default.

You need Node.js to complete this guide, but in general, Node.js isn’t a requirement for using the Document Authoring library.

Type definitions and module systems

The package includes type definitions and support for CommonJS, ESM, AMD, and a global DocAuth object. Your build tools resolve these automatically from its package.json file.

Adding to your project

npm i @nutrient-sdk/document-authoring

pnpm add @nutrient-sdk/document-authoring

yarn add @nutrient-sdk/document-authoring

bun add @nutrient-sdk/document-authoring

Integrating into your project

1. Add an empty <div> element with a non-static position and a defined width and height. This is the target DOM element where the editor loads:

   <div id="editor" style="position: relative; width: 100%; height: 100vh;"></div>

2. Import @nutrient-sdk/document-authoring into your application and initialize the editor:

   import DocAuth from '@nutrient-sdk/document-authoring';
   
   const system = await DocAuth.createDocAuthSystem();
   
   const editor = await system.createEditor(document.getElementById('editor'), {
     document: await system.createDocumentFromPlaintext('Hello, world!'),
   });

   For licensed deployments, pass your license key as the licenseKey property when you call createDocAuthSystem(). The key is optional for evaluation builds.
