This example exports the current document (all blocks) as Markdown and displays it below the editor.
Try it out: Edit the document to see the Markdown representation!

import { BlockNoteView, useCreateBlockNote } from "@blocknote/react";

import { useState } from "react";
import "./styles.css";
export default function App() {
// Stores the editor's contents as Markdown.
const [markdown, setMarkdown] = useState<string>("");
// Creates a new editor instance with some initial content.
const editor = useCreateBlockNote({
initialContent: [
{
type: "paragraph",
content: [
"Hello, ",
{
type: "text",
text: "world!",
styles: {
bold: true,
},
},
],
},
],
});
const onChange = async () => {
// Converts the editor's contents from Block objects to Markdown and store to state.
const markdown = await editor.blocksToMarkdownLossy(editor.document);
setMarkdown(markdown);
};
// Renders the editor instance, and its contents as Markdown below.
return (
<div className={"wrapper"}>
<div>Input (BlockNote Editor):</div>
<div className={"item"}>
<BlockNoteView editor={editor} onChange={onChange} />
