Extend a Markdown Input Box

Here is the translated markdown content:

Creating Directories

To facilitate management, we will put the newly extended components into a directory, which includes subdirectories for each extension component.

You can create directories in the following format:

src
└── extendElements
  └── index.ts
  └── Markdown
    └── attrSchema.ts
    └── Component.vue
    └── Icon.vue
    └── index.ts

Installing the Markdown Plugin

You can choose any open-source markdown plugin. Here, I have chosen md-editor-v3.

xml
npm install md-editor-v3

Wrapping the Markdown Component

The component needs to receive v-model to establish two-way data binding with the form!

Here, we utilize the new API defineModel introduced in vue3.4+ to quickly implement this!

vue
// src/extendElements/Markdown/Component.vue
<template>
  <MdEditor v-model="value" />
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
import { MdEditor } from 'md-editor-v3'
import 'md-editor-v3/lib/style.css'

const value = defineModel<string>()
</script>

Wrapping the Icon

Find a suitable icon on Ali Iconfont, copy the SVG code, and write it in a Vue file!

Of course, if you have an encapsulated Icon rendering component in your project, you can directly use it and skip this step!

vue
// src/extendElements/Markdown/Icon.vue
<template>
  <svg
    t="1726107434564"
    class="icon"
    viewBox="0 0 1024 1024"
    version="1.1"
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
    p-id="3897"
    width="20"
    height="20"

Configuration Item Form

Drag and drop through the designer to create a form that exports JsonSchema

ts
// src/extendElements/Markdown/attrSchema.ts
import type { FormSchema } from 'vue-form-craft'

export default {
  size: 'small',
  labelAlign: 'top',
  items: [
    { label: '标签', component: 'Input', name: 'label' },
    {
      label: '唯一标识',
      component: 'Input',
      name: 'name',
      help: "既是唯一标识,也是数据路径。比如输入【props.name】,数据就会保存为 { props: { name:'xxx' } }"
    },
    { label: '字段说明', component: 'Textarea', name: 'help' },
    {
      label: '占位提示',
      component: 'Input',
      name: 'props.placeholder',
      designKey: 'form-ekRL'
    },
    { label: '初始值', component: 'Input', name: 'initialValue' },
    {
      component: 'Grid',
      children: [
        { label: '是否必填', component: 'Switch', name: 'required' },
        { label: '是否只读', component: 'Switch', name: 'props.readonly' },
        { label: '是否禁用', component: 'Switch', name: 'props.disabled' },
        { label: '隐藏字段', component: 'Switch', name: 'hidden' },
        { label: '隐藏标签', component: 'Switch', name: 'hideLabel' }
      ],
      props: {
        columns: 3,
        'row-gap': 0,
        'column-gap': 20
      },
      designKey: 'form-R003',
      name: 'cNmCuu',
      style: {
        marginBottom: 0
      }
    },
    

  ]
} as FormSchema

Overall configuration

Merge the above files into a 'FormElement' object, which is a complete extension component!

ts
// src/extendElements/Markdown/index.ts
import type { FormElement } from 'vue-form-craft'
import component from './Component.vue'
import icon from './Icon.vue'
import attrSchema from './attrSchema'

export default {
  name: 'markdown',
  component,
  icon,
  type: 'basic',
  order: 11,
  initialValues: { label: 'markdown编辑器', component: 'Markdown' },
  attrSchema
} satisfies FormElement

Export, use

ts
// src/extendElements/index.ts
import Markdown from './Markdown'

export default {
    Markdown
}
ts
// main.ts
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import ElementPlus from 'element-plus'
import 'element-plus/dist/index.css'
import VueFormCraft from 'vue-form-craft'
import extendElements from './extendElements'

const app = createApp(App)

app.use(ElementPlus)
app.use(VueFormCraft, { extendElements })
app.mount('#app')
