Code Block Syntax Highlighting

Code Block Syntax Highlighting

To enable code block syntax highlighting, you can use the codeBlock option in the useCreateBlockNote hook. This is excluded by default to reduce bundle size.

import { useCreateBlockNote } from "@blocknote/react";
// This packages some of the most used languages in on-demand bundle
import { codeBlock } from "@blocknote/code-block";
 
export default function App() {
  // Creates a new editor instance.
  const editor = useCreateBlockNote({
    codeBlock,
    initialContent: [
      {
        type: "codeBlock",
        props: {
          language: "typescript",

          {
            type: "text",
            text: "const x = 3 * 4;",
            styles: {},

        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: 'Click on "Typescript" above to see the different supported languages',
            styles: {},
          },
        ],
      },
      {
        type: "paragraph",
      },
    ],
  });
 
  // Renders the editor instance using a React component.
  return <BlockNoteView editor={editor} />;
