django-tiptap-editor 0.4.0

Drop-in TipTap (ProseMirror) rich-text editor widget for Django forms and admin.

django-tiptap-editor

A reusable, pip-installable Django package providing a drop-in rich-text editor backed by TipTap (headless ProseMirror): a form Widget, an admin widget, a ModelAdmin mixin, a settings default, and vendored static assets — node-free for consumers.

What this is

A reusable rich-text editor for Django: a form Widget, an admin widget, a ModelAdmin mixin, a settings-driven config, and committed static assets — with a clean, options-object surface and its own config schema.

• Stored value is HTML (render it with |safe), never JSON.
• ProseMirror's schema is a sanitizer: scripts and unknown nodes are dropped on parse, and link/image protocols are allowlisted — so |safe is justified.
• Node-free for consumers: the editor ships as a committed, self-contained bundle. An optional glue-only ESM build lets you bring your own TipTap via CDN / import maps.
• Extensible without a build step: a runtime registry for custom extensions, toolbar buttons, and layered (CSS-variable) theming.
• Full toolbar (formatting, font size/family, colour, highlight, lists, alignment, links, images, tables, source view), image upload + library picker, merge tags, and en/sv i18n out of the box.

Installation

pip install django-tiptap-editor

Add the app to INSTALLED_APPS (it ships the static bundle):

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    "django_tiptap_editor",
]

Quickstart

from django import forms
from django_tiptap_editor.forms.fields import TipTapFormField

class ArticleForm(forms.Form):
    body = TipTapFormField()

In the admin:

from django.contrib import admin
from django_tiptap_editor.admin.mixin import TipTapModelAdminMixin

@admin.register(Article)
class ArticleAdmin(TipTapModelAdminMixin, admin.ModelAdmin):
    pass  # every TextField becomes a TipTap editor

Render the field with {{ form.media }} (or {% tiptap_media %}) in your template, and display the stored HTML with {{ article.body|safe }}. See the documentation for configuration, the upload/image-list contracts, theming, extension authoring, asset modes, and the migration guide.
