How to insert an image using draft.js?

Question

Here is my code trying to insert an image in the draft.js editor. But I failed. When I clicked on the button, only several empty lines were inserted, what's the problem?

MyEditor.js

import React from 'react';
import {Editor, EditorState, AtomicBlockUtils} from 'draft-js';

export class MyEditor extends React.Component {

  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {editorState: EditorState.createEmpty()};
    this.onChange = (editorState) => this.setState({editorState});
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <Editor editorState={this.state.editorState} onChange={this.onChange}/>
        <button onClick={this.handleClick}>Insert an image</button>
      </div>
    );
  }

  handleClick = () => {
    const base64 =

Answer 1

You can add images without plugins, see official demo called "Media"

It uses blockRendererFn attribute of draft-js Editor component.

const Image = (props) => {
  return <img src={props.src} style={styles.media} />;
};

const Media = (props) => {
  const entity = props.contentState.getEntity(
    props.block.getEntityAt(0)
  );
  const {src} = entity.getData();
  const type = entity.getType();

  let media;
  if (type === 'image') {
    media = <Image src={src} />;
  }

  return media;
};

function mediaBlockRenderer(block) {
  if (block.getType() === 'atomic') {
    return {
      component: Media,
      editable: false,
    };
  }

  return null;
}

// . . . . .
<Editor
   blockRendererFn={mediaBlockRenderer}

Answer 2

For image support you should use a draft-js image plugin such as draft-js-image-plugin: https://www.draft-js-plugins.com/plugin/image

By default draft-js doesn't support plugins, so it's a good idea to use draft-js-plugins-editor, which extend draft-js functionality.

So your code would be:

import React from "react";
import { convertToRaw, EditorState, AtomicBlockUtils } from "draft-js";

import Editor from "draft-js-plugins-editor";
import createImagePlugin from "draft-js-image-plugin";

const imagePlugin = createImagePlugin();
const plugins = [imagePlugin];

export default class MyEditor extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = { editorState: EditorState.createEmpty() };
    this.onChange = editorState => this.setState({ editorState });
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <Editor
          editorState={this.state.editorState}
          onChange={this.onChange}
          plugins={plugins}
          ref={element => {
            this.editor = element;
          }}
        />
        <button onClick={this.handleClick}>Insert an image</button>
        <pre>
          {JSON.stringify(
            convertToRaw(this.state.editorState.getCurrentContent()),
            null,
            "  "
          )}
        </pre>
      </div>
    );
  }

  handleClick = () => {
    const base64 =

The latest versions of draft-js-image-plugin has an error, so you can use 2.0.1 version.

I'm using the latest draft-js version "draft-js": "0.10.5",, "draft-js-image-plugin": "2.0.1", and "draft-js-plugins-editor": "2.0.3",

Answer 3

As of 2021

draftjs v 0.11.2 integrated with react-draft-wysiwyg 1.14.7.

I was able to add an image doing the following.

const addImage = () => {

    // CREATE <img /> block
    const entityKey = editorState // from STATE
      .getCurrentContent()
      .createEntity('IMAGE', 'MUTABLE', {
        src:'some_img_url',
        height: '100px',
        width: '100px',
    }).getLastCreatedEntityKey();
     
    // NEW EDITOR STATE
    const newEditorState = AtomicBlockUtils.insertAtomicBlock(
      editorState,
      entityKey,
      ' '
    );

    // SETSTATE
    setEditorState(newEditorState);
}
