Getting Started

Add the AppFlowy editor Flutter package to your environment.

flutter pub add appflowy_editor
flutter pub get

Creating Your First Editor

Start by creating a new empty AppFlowyEditor object.

final editorState = EditorState.blank(withInitialText: true); // with an empty paragraph
final editor = AppFlowyEditor(
  editorState: editorState,
);

You can also create an editor from a JSON object in order to configure your initial state. Or you can create an editor from Markdown or Quill Delta.

final json = jsonDecode('YOUR INPUT JSON STRING');
final editorState = EditorState(document: Document.fromJson(json));
final editor = AppFlowyEditor(
  editorState: editorState,
);

Note: The parameters localizationsDelegates need to be assigned in MaterialApp widget

MaterialApp(
  localizationsDelegates: const [
    AppFlowyEditorLocalizations.delegate,
  ]，
);

To get a sense of how the AppFlowy Editor works, run our example:

git clone https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/appflowy-editor.git
flutter pub get
flutter run
