Slate, as per its documentation, is a completely customizable framework for building rich text editors. Therefore, it doesn't offer a feature-rich text editor but instead provides tools to build one. Let's create a component called Slate and see what the Slate editor looks like.
TipTap, built on top of ProseMirror, is a headless editor framework that gives full control over every single aspect of the text editor experience. Similarly to Slate, TipTap doesn't offer a fully featured Rich Text Editor; instead, it offers a lot of extensions and can be customized to incorporate new features. Let's have a look at how we can implement a TipTap editor with the image extension that will provide similar functionality to the one we implemented in the last section for the Slate editor.
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.
Quill.js is a rich text editor that provides a configurable editor with various features. Compared to Slate and TipTap, Quill is a drop-in solution that doesn't require building common text editing functionality from scratch.
