Working with server side rendering (SSR)

The editor component will not work if the page is server side rendered using next.js. To get around this, dynamic import the editor component.

import dynamic from "next/dynamic";

const Editor = dynamic(() => import("@avp1598/react-beautiful-editor"), {
  ssr: false,
});

Working with tailwindCSS

Tailwind css overrides the default heading and list styles of the editor. To fix this, you can add the following to your global css file where your tailwind directives are defined.

@tailwind base;

@layer base {
  ul,
  ol {
    list-style: revert;
  }

  h1,
  h2 {
    font-size: revert;
    font-weight: revert;
  }
}
