Question 1

Is RayEditor free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RayEditor is MIT licensed — free for personal and commercial use, forever. No paid tier, no vendor lock-in.

Question 2

What is a WYSIWYG editor?

Accepted Answer

WYSIWYG stands for 'What You See Is What You Get'. A WYSIWYG editor lets you format content visually — bold, headings, tables — and see the result immediately, without writing HTML. RayEditor is a free, open-source WYSIWYG HTML editor for JavaScript and TypeScript.

Question 3

Does RayEditor work with React?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RayEditor ships an official React wrapper with value/onChange props. Install @rohanyeole/ray-editor-react via npm and use the RayEditor component directly in your React app.

Question 4

Is RayEditor a good TinyMCE alternative?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RayEditor includes features that require a paid TinyMCE plan — dark mode, find & replace, tables, word count — all free and MIT licensed. Bundle size is also significantly smaller.

Question 5

Does RayEditor support Markdown?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RayEditor has a bidirectional Markdown mode. Toggle between rich text and raw Markdown at any time, or use importMarkdown() / exportMarkdown() via the JavaScript API.

Question 6

Does RayEditor work with Angular and Vue?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RayEditor ships official wrappers for React, Vue 3, Angular, and Svelte. Each wrapper provides two-way binding so you can integrate the rich text editor with your existing framework.
