How to use

Let's create a new AppFlowyEditor object

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

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:

git clone https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy.git
cd frontend/app_flowy/packages/appflowy_editor/example
flutter run
