Web Support (Experimental)

Web support is still experimental. APIs and behavior can change in future releases without a major version bump. Expect breaking changes until the web path is stabilized.

Enriched Text Input

What works

  • Inline marks: bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, inline code
  • Headings (h1-h6)
  • Blockquote, code block
  • Ordered lists, unordered lists, checkbox lists
  • Images (via setImage ref method and optional onPasteImages when pasting image data)
  • Manual links (via setLink ref method)
  • Mentions
  • Automatic link detection
  • getHTML, setValue, selection mapping
  • Core callbacks: onChange, onChangeState, onFocus, onBlur, onSelectionChange
  • Submit props: submitBehavior and onSubmitEditing. returnKeyType is only a hint, it maps to enterkeyhint (done, go, next, previous, search, send, default/enter). Not all values of ReturnKeyTypeOptions are supported, the behavior of this prop is heavily dependent on the browser's capabilities.
  • Input theming via placeholderTextColor, cursorColor and selectionColor props
  • Keyboard shortcuts for formatting
  • useHtmlNormalizer
  • Setting text alignment via setTextAlignment()

Keyboard shortcuts

See Web Keyboard Shortcuts for the up-to-date list of Web keyboard shortcuts.

Unsupported

  • returnKeyLabel: ignored on web, it's not possible to set it inside a browser.
  • Context menu: contextMenuItems is ignored.
  • RN layout ref methods: measure, measureInWindow, measureLayout, and setNativeProps are no-ops.
  • ViewProps: Props inherited from View beyond the implemented subset are not forwarded.
  • textShortcuts: ignored on web.

Enriched Text

What works

  • Customizing the styling using props: style, htmlStyle, selectionColor.
  • selectable prop
  • useHtmlNormalizer
  • onLinkPress and onMentionPress callbacks

Unsupported

  • ellipsizeMode: ignored on web.
  • numberOfLines: ignored on web.
  • RN layout ref methods: measure, measureInWindow, measureLayout, and setNativeProps are no-ops.

HTML sanitization

On web, HTML is sanitized automatically with DOMPurify on both input and output. This reduces XSS risk, but you should still treat untrusted HTML with caution and apply your own server-side sanitization.

  • EnrichedText sanitizes its children before rendering.
  • EnrichedTextInput sanitizes every HTML entry point — defaultValue, the setValue ref method, and pasted HTML — as well as its output from getHTML and the onChangeHtml callback.

Custom mention attributes

To attach custom data to a mention, use the data- prefix (e.g. data-user-id) to make sure they survive sanitization. Attributes passed to the setMention ref method are properly sanitized.
