Are you working with React Draft Wysiwyg and looking to enhance the look of your inline toolbar? If you find yourself wanting to replace the standard toolbar images with custom icons, like those available from React Icons, you’re in the right place. This guide will walk you through the process of achieving that, making your text editor not only functional but also visually appealing.

The Problem

When using the React Draft Wysiwyg library, many developers desire a more personalized experience. Specifically, you might want to swap out the default toolbar icons for custom ones that better match your brand or design preferences. The key question here is:

How can you replace the standard inline toolbar images with custom icons?

Initial Attempts

As many have discovered, simply trying to include custom icons using standard methods, such as importing the icons directly or using inline <img> tags, often does not yield the expected results.

The Solution: Using File Paths for Custom Icons

The answer to your question lies in utilizing proper file paths for your custom icons. Instead of trying to use JSX components as icons, you can directly reference the path to your icon file. Here’s how you can adjust your toolbar options accordingly.

Step-by-Step Guide

Choose Your Icons: First, select the SVG or any image file you wish to use as your custom icon. Make sure it’s accessible from your project structure.

Update Your Toolbar Options: Replace the JSX component or the image tag with the proper path string to your icon file. Here’s a revised snippet for your toolbar options:

Test Your Implementation: After making these changes, run your application to test if the custom icons display correctly in your inline toolbar.

Key Points to Remember

Ensure that the path you provide is correct and accessible within your project directory.

If using SVG files, remember to properly format how you access them in your code.

Always consider previewing your changes in a local development environment to ensure all icons load as expected.

Conclusion

By following the steps outlined above, you can easily replace the standard inline toolbar images in React Draft Wysiwyg with your custom icons. This not only helps in reflecting your unique design preferences but also enhances the overall user experience for your rich text editor.
