Here's a blog post with a quickstart guide: https://medium.com/unlayer-blog/creating-a-drag-n-drop-email-editor-with-react-db1e9eb42386
The easiest way to use React Email Editor is to install it from NPM and include it in your own React build process.
npm install react-email-editor --save
Require the EmailEditor component and render it with JSX:
import React, { useRef } from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
import EmailEditor, { EditorRef, EmailEditorProps } from 'react-email-editor';
const App = (props) => {
const emailEditorRef = useRef<EditorRef>(null);
const exportHtml = () => {
const unlayer = emailEditorRef.current?.editor;
unlayer?.exportHtml((data) => {
const { design, html } = data;
console.log('exportHtml', html);
});
};
const onReady: EmailEditorProps['onReady'] = (unlayer) => {
// editor is ready
// you can load your template here;
// the design json can be obtained by calling
// unlayer.loadDesign(callback) or unlayer.exportHtml(callback)
// const templateJson = { DESIGN JSON GOES HERE };
// unlayer.loadDesign(templateJson);
};
return (
<div>
<div>
<button onClick={exportHtml}>Export HTML</button>
</div>
<EmailEditor ref={emailEditorRef} onReady={onReady} />
</div>
);
};
render(<App />, document.getElementById('app'));
See the example source for a reference implementation.
