trix VS tailwindcss-stimulus-components

Trix is simple and easy to use for basic writing like a blog. It’s what Basecamp and HEY both use (it was built by 37signals and is the default in Rails)

https://trix-editor.org/

Trix was the winner. It was easy to style, is well maintained, has documentation for embedding it into a form, is easy to create custom keyboard shortcuts for, has great examples on how to save/load content or modify it with javascript.

In some case, you may need to allow the user to upload the file in the text editor like Trix editor. However, you current configuration not allowed it, you need to configure the CORS. Here the configuration

I inspected the text editor and it looks like it's something called Trix. The example on their website has a hyperlink button. No idea how to add links in StoryGraph though, besides the workaround the other user mentioned. Maybe ask Nadia on Instagram or Twitter - she's super responsive!

I'm sure something like Trix (used in Ruby on Rails) would probably do the job - https://trix-editor.org/

For this, you can add a small, isolated component to the page. An example from Rails is the Trix rich text editor: it is a standard web component.

I have been implementing a kind of blog builder using ActionText and Trix. However, understanding how Trix works, customizing it, and making image uploads possible, seems not very well documented. Also, looking at Trix's Github page there doesn't seem to be a lot of activity.

My question is I have seen tailwindcss-stimulus-components and wondered if there are any video tutorials on how to implement it?

If you don't want to pay for it, you can build your own, or use components other people have created, like tailwindcss-stimulus-components.

Tailwind CSS Stimulus Components

Have you seen this? https://github.com/excid3/tailwindcss-stimulus-components

yeah just got started. i’m using the gem at https://github.com/excid3/tailwindcss-stimulus-components for now, and i’m hard coding in all the transitions. but starting to get cumbersome. wondering if i should just use their react/vue components for anything pre-built, and write my own stimulus controllers for whatever limited needs i have. (goal is to leverage server side rendered html plus hotwire for most of the heavy lifting)

// Credit: This controller is an edited-to-the-essentials version // of the modal component created by @excid3 as part of the essential // tailwind-stimulus-components package found here: // https://github.com/excid3/tailwindcss-stimulus-components // In production, use the full component from the // library or expand this controller to allow for // keyboard closing and dealing with scroll positions import { Controller } from "@hotwired/stimulus" export default class extends Controller { static targets = ['container']; connect() { this.toggleClass = 'hidden'; this.backgroundId = 'modal-background'; this.backgroundHtml = this._backgroundHTML(); this.allowBackgroundClose = true; } disconnect() { this.close(); } open() { document.body.classList.add('fixed', 'inset-x-0', 'overflow-hidden'); this.containerTarget.classList.remove(this.toggleClass); document.body.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', this.backgroundHtml); this.background = document.querySelector(`#${this.backgroundId}`); } close() { if (typeof event !== 'undefined') { event.preventDefault() } this.containerTarget.classList.add(this.toggleClass); if (this.background) { this.background.remove() } } _backgroundHTML() { return `${this.backgroundId}" class="fixed top-0 left-0 w-full h-full" style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7); z-index: 9998;">`; } }

Yeah, I made this to replicate the JS features of Bootstrap in Tailwind & Stimulus: https://github.com/excid3/tailwindcss-stimulus-components

this is extended from the original modal supplied from tailwindcss-stimulus-components
