FAQs
Q: What is TipTap?
A: TipTap is a headless rich text editor framework, which means it provides the logic for editing rich text content but does not come with a pre-built user interface, giving you full control over the editor’s appearance.
Q: How can I customize the editor’s appearance?
A: The editor is built with shadcn/ui components and styled with Tailwind CSS. You can customize its look by modifying the Tailwind CSS configuration and the shadcn/ui components within the project’s components/ui directory.
Q: Is the file upload feature production-ready?
A: The drag and drop interface is implemented, but you need to configure backend endpoints and security measures for production use. The current implementation provides the frontend interface for file handling.
