quill VS slate

Quill is a rich text editor that supplies deltas of change. So you can build quite a sophisticated system of document revisions within the browser.

We use QuillJS https://quilljs.com/ for our projects, as a drop-in component to allow our users to edit rich-text fields. Works great for our CRUD apps; I am not a front-end person, but it's simple, does what we need, and seems to work in multiple browsers without issues.

Am I missing something?

We use Quill, too, we only need rudimentary features, though.

Its maintenance status is... questionable, although my information is out of date (see last paragraph).

I like u/ediblemanager 's idea of using Canvas. There is also a "cool-tool" called Quill which you can use to build a great DOM-friendly editor into your Apps without breaking too much of a sweat. And use Eloquent and park those posts safe and sound into your db.

Quill.js

Quill: This blog post from the Medium development team gives me a little pause about Quill.

We're trying to choose between Lexical and Slate at work. Do you have any examples that would be similar to this? https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate/blob/main/site/examp...

If you are going to customise a ton of functionalities and/or implement new functionality I suggest using SlateJS. If not, have a look at Sun editor.

You definitely need to give Slate (https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate) a try - the best editor framework I've used.

Slate: Looks very promising, but it's for React. (Someone has floated the idea of making it framework-agnostic, but the maintainers haven't committed to that goal yet.)

Thanks for submission! Very timely. Been searching for a stable and flexible editor (or rather a tool to build such an editor) and Tiptap looks like a good candidate.

I was also considering Slate, but have found this rather annoying bug https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate/issues/4833, which is surprising as it doesn't look like some rare edge case, and breaks something that seems to be like basic functionality for an editor. Had to re-consider.

Slate - A completely customizable framework for building rich text editors.

Slate.js is a highly customizable platform for creating rich-text editors, also known as WYSIWYG editors. It enables you to create powerful, intuitive editors similar to those you’ve probably used in Medium, Dropbox Paper, or Google Docs. These are quickly becoming standard features for many web apps, and tools like Slate make them easier to implement, ensuring your program won’t get bogged down in complexity.

Building complex, nested documents was impossible. Many editors were designed around simplistic "flat" documents, making things like tables, embeds and captions difficult to reason about and sometimes impossible. Demo GitHub

Ok good to know. Although, the Mention Example seem pretty complicated for what feels like such a simple task but still good to know about this in case I ever need it in the future
