## Key Features
* Allow you to build rich, intuitive editors
* Design and modify it your way by customizing components, shortcut events, and many more coming soon including menu options and themes
* [Test-covered](https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/blob/main/frontend/app_flowy/packages/appflowy_editor/documentation/testing.md) and maintained by AppFlowy's core team along with a community of more than 1,000 builders
## Getting started
```shell
flutter pub add appflowy_editor
flutter pub get
```
## How to use
Let's create a new AppFlowyEditor object
```dart
final editorState = EditorState.empty(); // an empty state
final editor = AppFlowyEditor(
editorState: editorState,
keyEventHandlers: const [],
customBuilders: const {},
);
```
You can also create an editor from a JSON file
```dart
final json = ...;
final editorState = EditorState(StateTree.fromJson(data));
final editor = AppFlowyEditor(
editorState: editorState,
keyEventHandlers: const [],
customBuilders: const {},
);
```
To get a sense for how you might use it, run this example:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy.git
cd frontend/app_flowy/packages/appflowy_editor/example
flutter run
```
