        options={{
        projectId: ‘‘,
        signature: ““
    }}

Usage

Require the MailUiEditor component and render it with JSX:

import React, {useRef} from 'react';
import MailUiEditor, {MailUiEditorRef, MailUiEditorProps} from 'react-mailui-editor';

const ExampleComponent = () => {
    const ref = useRef < MailUiEditorRef > (null);

    const exportHtml = () => {
        const mailui = ref.current?.editor;

        mailui?.exportHtml((data) => {
            const {design, html} = data;
            console.log('exportHtml', html);
        });
    };

    const onReady: MailUiEditorProps['onReady'] = (mailui) => {
        // Editor is ready
        // You can load your template here;
        // The design JSON can be obtained by calling mailui.loadDesign(callback) or mailui.exportHtml(callback)

        // For example:
        // const templateJson = { DESIGN JSON GOES HERE };
        // mailui.loadDesign(templateJson);
    };

    return (
        <div>
            <div>
                <button onClick={exportHtml}>Export HTML</button>
            </div>

            <EmailEditor ref={emailEditorRef} onReady={onReady}/>
        </div>
    );
};

export default ExampleComponent;
