During upload:

• Loading Indicator - Spinner animation indicating upload in progress

• When using custom extensions, the image upload feature will not be available (toolbar won't show upload option)

:::

<script setup lang="ts">
import { VbenTiptap } from '@vben/plugins/tiptap';
import StarterKit from '@tiptap/starter-kit';
import Underline from '@tiptap/extension-underline';

const extensions = [
  StarterKit,
  Underline,
  // Other extensions...
];
</script>

<template>
  <VbenTiptap v-model="content" :extensions="extensions" />
</template>

::: warning Custom Extensions Note

When using custom extensions:

• Default extension configuration will not take effect
