verbum VS lexical

There's a prebuilt alternative, but seems to be very new.

Rich Text Editor for React\ (36 comments)

View on GitHub

I remember using https://github.com/facebook/lexical for a project a year ago and mostly things worked our of the box.

Any reason to prefer quill?

Lexical (https://lexical.dev/) is really nice to use and doesn't use Prosemirror or CKEditor.

I've tried to get to grips with Lexical but found the docs pretty hard to follow. It definitely seems to offer pretty heaps of power, just unlocking that seemed tricky. We're hoping to use it for customer facing collaborative list product that allows for richer media (video, code blocks etc.)

Yes, it uses the Lexical framework internally, so markdown gets converted to an AST, then the AST gets serialized back.

Rich text editing doesn't imply pagination. Contenteditable is not abandoned. Lexical[1], Meta's framework for text editing relies on contenteditables.

lexical is a framework for building web based text-editors ... so yea it can do formatting but if you are using it to just do formatting you are very much using the wrong tool.

Haven't tried it out myself, but it's probably Lexical.

Svelte just got a lot more interesting! Dominic who is the creator of LexicalJs and InfernoJs (which is known to be insanely fast) has joined the svelte core team and is now working at Vercel full time! Here is the announcement on Twitter!
