TinyMCE VS Chart.js

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

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.

Depends on your frontend's stack but the simplest to setup is probably TinyMCE. It's more limited than the other options in terms of customizability and extensibility though.

Yes, the most common being TinyMCE.

Most of frontend libraries are made with Vanilla JS. An example of library that you might frequently use is "Chart.js". But React is not compatible with Chart.js so here it comes "React-chartjs-2" A wrapper library to work with Chart.js in React ecosystem. Oh you want to use "three.js" for some cool 3D? you will need "React-three/fiber". In my case, I need to implement "telegram-web-app", not so fast, I have to create my own wrapper to be able to use it.

Chart.js is a free, open-source JavaScript library for data visualization, which supports eight chart types: bar, line, area, pie, bubble, radar, polar and scatter. It's licensed under the permissive MIT license and is renowned for being flexible, lightweight, easy to use and extendible.

Lightweight core library: 199kb minified and 67kb Gzipped according to Bundlephobia

They are images so it could be any number of things, datawrapper, charts.js, d3.js to name a few options.

Charts.js for creating diagrams

Connie Leung wrote a tutorial to demonstrate how these new hooks work, integrating an Angular app with the Chart.js library: "DOM reading and writing with new lifecycle hooks in Angular"

Chart.js

I used chart.js [0], but I don't necessarily endorse it - it's just what I knew how to use quickly. I usually try to keep my posts free from javascript, and could have used a different tool that gives me SVG data or images.

You can see the code that's generating these charts here: https://github.com/jamesbvaughan/jamesbvaughan.com/blob/main...

One of my favorite charting libraries, chart.js is built around the canvas,

If you’ve heard of Chart.js, you might wonder what React-chartjs-2 is all about. Well, think of it as a handy tool for using Chart.js within your React projects. Chart.js is a JavaScript library that helps create various types of interactive charts using HTML5 Canvas.
