dotenv VS TinyMCE

This is the second part of my Test Driving a Rails API series. In Part 1 we set up our development environment, generated a Rails API-only application, installed dotenv to easily store configuration values in the environment, and installed and configured PostgreSQL version 16 as our database.

Storing environment variables for a Rails app can be problematic. The dotenv gem will automatically, when Rails boots, load environment variables from .env files into the Rails ENV. This is a great way to store private information that varies per developer or deployment environment, such as your development database configuration. Rails Encrypted Credentials is a great way to store private information, like API keys, etc, but I wouldn’t use it for storing my local development environment’s database information. The Encrypted Credentials file is checked into the git repository and would, therefore, be shared by all developers on the project. dotenv allows each developer or deployment environment to store their own information in .env files that are ignored by git.

Install the dotenv gem.

Yeah, now that I think of it, it does require a gem. I have used this in most projects https://github.com/bkeepers/dotenv

TinyMCE provided a bit more information about this change in a GitHub discussion thread here: https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce/discussions/9496

As I posted there, this directly affects my open source project which is heavily tied to TinyMCE so I may end up forking, and reducing down to what my project needs to reduce maintenance scope & burden.

TinyMCE have been jumping around with their licensing. They were under LGPL, with some (what I believe were) misleading guidance into meeting the LGPL (they specified rules about keeping specific branding elements). They then jumped to MIT, and since moved some of the open plugins to their commercial offering. Now they're making this change.

TinyMCE 7 includes fixes for 17 bug fixes reported by the community. See the changelog for details.

TinyMCE - rich text editing API. Core features are free for unlimited usage.

Any idea how i could replace the current classic editor with the newest tinymce wyswig editor: https://www.tiny.cloud/ it looks so modern and clean and i would love to use it but the default wordpress classic editor is so old and is some really old version of tinymce and I'm unsure of how to change it, any plugins or scripts to do this?

Any idea how i could disable the default crappy wordpres ugtenbergs block and instead replace it with the newest tinymce wyswig editor: https://www.tiny.cloud/ it looks so modern and clean and i would love to use it but the default wordpress classic editor is so old and honestly makes me sick, any plugins or scripts to do this?

Luckily, implementing a basic text editor in your React application is a fairly straightforward process. In this article I will show you how to implement a rich text editor using TinyMCE.

I'm using TinyMCE as the rich text editor, you can replace it with something else, or simply use a if you wish.
