CKEditor 4 React integration 2.0.0 with React 17 support
We are happy to announce the release of the native integration of CKEditor 4, a full-featured WYSIWYG editor, with React, one of the most popular JavaScript frameworks. It provides deep integration of CKEditor 4 and React that lets you use the native features of the WYSIWYG editor inside a React component. This v2.0.0 release brings three most important changes:
- React v17.x support,
- React hooks support,
- TypeScript support and typings.
Compared to v1.x integration which supports React versions lower than 17.x, this stable release also brings the following changes:
- ESM, CJS and UMD package format support.
- Support for setting the editor’s initial data as both JSX and HTML string.
- Ready-to-use, forkable samples for easier testing and bootstrapping.
- Updated dependencies.
React hooks in CKEditor 4
While the support for the new versions of React is a natural process that ensures security and stability, the introduction of React hooks is something more. Hooks are the modern way of abstracting business logic in a React app and may be used for smoother development. Moving to hooks or functional components gets in line with modern React design patterns and opens new possibilities.
Refer to the React integration v2 user guide to check the changes. Make sure to read the migration section of the guide with important information on how to implement this new package in your environment. You can also refer to the ready editor samples to see it working.
