Usage

Prequisites

To use dDocs, ensure your project is set up with Tailwind CSS and have a Tailwind configuration file.

Install & import

Add the following imports :

import { DdocEditor } from '@fileverse-dev/ddoc';
import '@fileverse-dev/ddoc/styles'; // in App.jsx/App.tsx

Peer Dependencies

This package requires the following peer dependencies to be installed in your project:

npm install @dnd-kit/core @dnd-kit/sortable @dnd-kit/utilities @fileverse/ui @fileverse/crypto viem framer-motion frimousse

These are externalized from the bundle to avoid duplication when your app already uses them. If you don't have them installed, npm (v7+) will auto-install them for you.

Update Tailwind Config

In your tailwind config, add this line to content array :

@fileverse-dev/ddoc/dist/index.es.js

You should now be set to use dDocs!

dDocProps Interface

The DdocProps interface is a TypeScript interface that defines the properties for a page-related component. It includes properties for handling preview mode, managing publishing data, and optionally storing metadata and content associated with the page.

UI/UX Props

Document Styling

The documentStyling prop allows you to customize the visual appearance of your document with three distinct styling areas:

interface ThemeVariantValue {
  light: string;
  dark: string;
}

interface DocumentStyling {
  /**
   * Background styling for the outer document area.
   * Supports CSS background values including gradients.
   * Example: "linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%)"
   */
  background?: string | ThemeVariantValue;

  /**
   * Background color for the editor canvas/content area.
   * Should be a solid color value.
   * Example: "#ffffff" or "rgb(255, 255, 255)"
   */
  canvasBackground?: string | ThemeVariantValue;

  /**
   * Text color for the editor content.
   * Example: "#333333" or "rgb(51, 51, 51)"
   */
  textColor?: string | ThemeVariantValue;

  /**
   * Font family for the editor content.
   * Example: "Inter, sans-serif" or "'Times New Roman', serif"
   */
  fontFamily?: string;
}

Usage Example

<DdocEditor
  documentStyling={{
    background: {
      light: 'linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%)',
      dark: 'linear-gradient(135deg, #2a3145 0%, #3a2f59 100%)',
    },
    canvasBackground: { light: '#ffffff', dark: '#1e1f22' },
    textColor: { light: '#333333', dark: '#e8ebec' },
    fontFamily: 'Inter, sans-serif',
  }}
  // ... other props
/>

Note: Document styling works in both regular editor mode and presentation mode. In presentation mode, only canvasBackground, textColor, and fontFamily are applied to maintain clean slide appearance.

Custom Fonts

The editor ships with a system-font baseline only (Arial, Calibri, Georgia, Times New Roman, etc.) and makes no third-party font requests — there is no Google Fonts @import. To offer additional fonts, pass a fonts catalog. Each font is self-hosted by your app and loaded on demand via the CSS Font Loading API: a font's woff2 is fetched only when it's selected in the picker or when a document (including a remote collaborator's change) actually renders text in it.

type FontDescriptor = {
  /** Display name shown in the picker, e.g. "Poppins". */
  name: string;
  /** CSS font-family stack stored in the content, e.g. "Poppins, sans-serif". */
  family: string;
  /**
   * woff2 source(s). Omit for a pure system font (no loading).
   *   - string: a single file covering all weights (e.g. a variable font).
   *   - Record<number, string>: a per-weight map, e.g. { 400: url400, 700: url700 }.
   */
  url?: string | Record<number, string>;
  /**
   * Optional SVG preview rendered in the picker. Any React node that renders an
   * <svg>. Falls back to the font name in the default font when absent.
   */
  preview?: React.ReactNode;
};

Usage Example

import { DdocEditor, FontDescriptor } from '@fileverse-dev/ddoc';
// Self-host the woff2 files however your bundler prefers (e.g. @fontsource/*).
import poppins400 from '@fontsource/poppins/files/poppins-latin-400-normal.woff2';
import poppins700 from '@fontsource/poppins/files/poppins-latin-700-normal.woff2';

const fonts: FontDescriptor[] = [
  {
    name: 'Poppins',
    family: 'Poppins, sans-serif',
    url: { 400: poppins400, 700: poppins700 },
    preview: <PoppinsPreview />, // optional SVG
  },
];

<DdocEditor fonts={fonts} /* ...other props */ />;

Notes:

• The picker lists the system baseline and your catalog together, sorted A–Z (with Default pinned to the top).
• The CSS face name is derived from the first token of family, so name is purely cosmetic and can differ (e.g. name: 'Poppins (Brand)', family: 'Poppins, sans-serif').
• The catalog also drives PDF/print export, which emits @font-face rules for the registered fonts.
• Host your woff2 files same-origin so they resolve in both the editor and the print iframe.
