Here's a blog post with a quickstart guide: https://medium.com/unlayer-blog/creating-a-drag-n-drop-email-editor-with-react-db1e9eb42386

The easiest way to use React Email Editor is to install it from NPM and include it in your own React build process.

npm install react-email-editor --save

Require the EmailEditor component and render it with JSX:

import React, { useRef } from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';

import EmailEditor, { EditorRef, EmailEditorProps } from 'react-email-editor';

const App = (props) => {
  const emailEditorRef = useRef<EditorRef>(null);

  const exportHtml = () => {
    const unlayer = emailEditorRef.current?.editor;

    unlayer?.exportHtml((data) => {
      const { design, html } = data;
      console.log('exportHtml', html);
    });
  };

  const onReady: EmailEditorProps['onReady'] = (unlayer) => {
    // editor is ready
    // you can load your template here;
    // the design json can be obtained by calling
    // unlayer.loadDesign(callback) or unlayer.exportHtml(callback)

    // const templateJson = { DESIGN JSON GOES HERE };
    // unlayer.loadDesign(templateJson);
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <div>
        <button onClick={exportHtml}>Export HTML</button>
      </div>

      <EmailEditor ref={emailEditorRef} onReady={onReady} />
    </div>
  );
};

render(<App />, document.getElementById('app'));

See the example source for a reference implementation.

All unlayer methods are available in the editor instance (emailEditorRef.current.editor). See the Unlayer Docs for more information, or log the object in the console to explore it. Here are the most used ones:

• editorId {String} HTML div id of the container where the editor will be embedded (optional)
• minHeight {String} minimum height to initialize the editor with (default 500px)
• onLoad {Function} called when the editor instance is created
• onReady {Function} called when the editor has finished loading
• options {Object} options passed to the Unlayer editor instance (default {})
  • See the Unlayer Docs for all available options.
• style {Object} style object for the editor container (default {})

Custom tools can help you add your own content blocks to the editor. Every application is different and needs different tools to reach it's full potential. Learn More
