draftjs_exporter
Library to convert rich text from Draft.js raw ContentState to HTML
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no security vulnerabilities, zero runtime dependencies, and a permissive MIT license. Install it if you need to convert Draft.js ContentState to HTML in a Python environment—particularly in Wagtail or Django projects. The low friction and stable API make it a straightforward choice for this specific use case.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later; content_state must be a valid Draft.js ContentState object (typically a dict with 'blocks' and 'entityMap' keys).
- Low friction: pure Python wheel with no runtime dependencies.
- Actively maintained with a release 1 day old; supports Python 3.10 through 3.15 and passes mypy type checking.

What it is and what it does
draftjs_exporter is a Python library that translates Draft.js ContentState—the internal representation used by the Draft.js React editor—into HTML. Draft.js stores rich text in its own format rather than as HTML, so this exporter bridges that gap for Python backends, particularly in Wagtail/Django environments where you need to render Draft.js content server-side.
The library provides sensible defaults for common HTML elements (paragraphs, lists, emphasis, links) but is designed to be extended: you can define custom block and inline style maps, add decorators to transform line breaks, attach arbitrary attributes to elements, and create React-like custom components. It handles overlapping inline styles and nested lists automatically, converts entity data types (integers, booleans, style objects) to valid HTML attributes, and includes static type annotations throughout.
Use it for
- Render Draft.js editor content to HTML on a Wagtail or Django backend without re-implementing the editor in Python.
- Export rich text from a Draft.js-based frontend editor to a database or file system as semantic HTML.
- Generate server-side HTML previews of Draft.js content before it is published or stored.
- Customize HTML output by mapping Draft.js blocks and styles to domain-specific HTML elements or CSS classes.
- Build a content pipeline where Draft.js ContentState is processed, validated, and converted to HTML in a Python service.
