I would like to properly render a docx file in React JS with the correct formatting, as it would appear in Word or a similar service. Currently, when displaying the text, all formatting is removed and appears as plain text. I obtain the file from the server, and process it, by:
const url = "http://localhost:8080/files/aboutme.docx";
axios.get(url, {
responseType: 'arraybuffer',
}).then(response => {
var doc = new Docxtemplater(new PizZip(response.data), {delimiters: {start: 'ran', end: 'ran'}});
var text = doc.getFullText();
setAboutMe(text);
})
I am using the Docxtemplater and PizZip libraries.

If you need to render a docx file I think you should use react-doc-viewer. Then you could write something like:
import DocViewer from "react-doc-viewer";
function App() {
const doc = [{ uri: "http://localhost:8080/files/aboutme.docx" }];
return <DocViewer documents={doc} />;
}
