docx-editor

Open-source WYSIWYG DOCX editor for the browser. No server required. Live demo | Documentation

• WYSIWYG editing with Word fidelity — formatting, tables, images, hyperlinks
• Track changes (suggestion mode) with accept/reject
• Comments with replies, resolve/reopen, scroll-to-highlight
• Internationalization (i18n) - community-contributed translations welcome
• Plugin system, undo/redo, find & replace, print preview
• Client-side only, zero server dependencies

Quick Start

npm install @eigenpal/docx-js-editor

import { useRef } from 'react';
import { DocxEditor, type DocxEditorRef } from '@eigenpal/docx-js-editor';
import '@eigenpal/docx-js-editor/styles.css';

function Editor({ file }: { file: ArrayBuffer }) {
  const editorRef = useRef<DocxEditorRef>(null);
  return <DocxEditor ref={editorRef} documentBuffer={file} mode="editing" onChange={() => {}} />;
}

Next.js / SSR: Use dynamic import — the editor requires the DOM.
