Add A Toolbar Button

Pass StrikethroughPlugin to MarkToolbarButton so the button uses the configured mark key.

import { StrikethroughIcon } from 'lucide-react';
import { StrikethroughPlugin } from '@platejs/basic-nodes/react';
 
import { MarkToolbarButton } from '@/components/editor/mark-toolbar-button';
 
export function StrikethroughToolbarButton() {
  return (
    <MarkToolbarButton
      plugin={StrikethroughPlugin}
      tooltip="Strikethrough"
    >
      <StrikethroughIcon />
    </MarkToolbarButton>
  );
}

Manual Usage

Install the mark package.

pnpm add @platejs/basic-nodes
pnpm add @platejs/basic-nodes

Add StrikethroughPlugin directly when you want the default <s> render.

import { StrikethroughPlugin } from '@platejs/basic-nodes/react';
import { createPlateEditor } from 'platejs/react';
 
export const editor = createPlateEditor({
  plugins: [StrikethroughPlugin],
});
import { StrikethroughPlugin } from '@platejs/basic-nodes/react';
import { createPlateEditor } from 'platejs/react';
 
export const editor = createPlateEditor({
  plugins: [StrikethroughPlugin],
});

Configure the input rule and shortcut when you want the same behavior as the kit.

import { StrikethroughRules } from '@platejs/basic-nodes';
import { StrikethroughPlugin } from '@platejs/basic-nodes/react';
 
export const strikethroughPlugin = StrikethroughPlugin.configure({
  inputRules: [StrikethroughRules.markdown()],
  shortcuts: { toggle: { keys: 'mod+shift+x' } },
});
import { StrikethroughRules } from '@platejs/basic-nodes';
import { StrikethroughPlugin } from '@platejs/basic-nodes/react';
 
export const strikethroughPlugin = StrikethroughPlugin.configure({
  inputRules: [StrikethroughRules.markdown()],
  shortcuts: { toggle: { keys: 'mod+shift+x' } },
});
