flutter-quill VS react-quill

Two months ago I decided to fork the Quill rich text editor because the architecture is extremely difficult to follow. Since I desperately need for my own project, a strong rich text editor that can be easily extended with more features I took the decision to byte the bullet and refactor Quill from the ground up. There are numerous extremely good features in Quill yet the overall architecture was a total train wreck. In this article I'll be explaining in detail what were the issues and how I attempted to improve them. You can find the source code at Visual Editor Github. I've documented the entire process and I'll be releasing deep dive Flutter architecture episodes at Visual Coding YouTube. Enough shameless plugs, let's get going.

On top of any other points you could make about the project's philosophy or code quality, they just don't communicate very well, as exhibited by this recent issue.

I've noticed that on the slack community nobody seems to be online and almost no answers are given (several months in). It's a pity, Quill is by far the best tool for rich text editing in the flutter ecosystem. However, all help request that I've wrote went unanswered by the maintainer(s?). I've wrote multiple times on their slack an no answers were given. Many other users seem to have the same issue. If I look at the github tickets many tickets get closed without answers or resolution.

There are three that I know: - SuperEditor. - zefyr -- not sure if it's still maintained. - flutter-quill -- similar to zefyr in implementation.

(Disclaimer: I work on Notion)

It looks like desktop software built with Flutter. Their editor is based on https://github.com/singerdmx/flutter-quill which also has a web version, so maybe they’ll be able to target web in the future. For now I don’t think they support multi-user sharing or collaboration yet, and I didn’t see web features listed on their roadmap either.

I like https://github.com/singerdmx/flutter-quill. It makes a cross-platform editor. And it helps me to build my own project: AppFlowy

You're right. There are this thing: https://github.com/singerdmx/flutter-quill (latest commit 5 days ago).

See https://github.com/singerdmx/flutter-quill/issues/15

The email template settings page should provide a user interface where users can see and edit the email template. The react-quill (https://github.com/zenoamaro/react-quill) component will be used as the editor for the email template message.

Did you consider react quill instead of tiptap? If so, why did you choose it?

const rt = useRef(); const doAThing = useCallback(()=> { const editor: Quill = rt.getEditor(); // add a button to the toolbar here using // the api: https://github.com/zenoamaro/react-quill/tree/v1.3.5 }, [rt]);

i'm using react-quill.

To demonstrate how Quill works, we are going to use the React-Quill package, which is a React wrapper around the Quill editor. Below we have a component that will render the React Quill editor with a toolbar that offers tools for formatting text.

What I used is this one: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-quill

I could dig into that and explain but it would probably be easier for you to just look at react-quill since it's already doing what you want.

I'm using this editor in a React application with PostgREST and PostgreSQL. I plan to store the RT in text fields. Looking for advice and cautions on whether this is a good approach.

Quill is also pretty nice.

Quill has good libraries but has completely fallen into disrepair across the board. ReactJS I would argue is in an even worse state.
