Migrating existing HTML data to y.js format for collaborative editing

1

Thank you for creating such a wonderful library.

I am trying to add y.js to a Tiptap project that currently doesn’t support collaborative editing. Since this is an existing project, the database contains data in HTML format, and I would like to enable collaborative editing using that data. (The backend uses Rails’ Action Cable for websockets.) In this use case, how can I convert the existing HTML data to a format suitable for collaborative editing (Uint8Array)?

Hi @ryota ,

You can transform the ProseMirror-JSON to a Yjs document. The functionality is documented in the y-prosemirror project, which is the underlying foundation for collaborative editing in TipTap.
