๐Ÿ‘‡ canner-slate-editor is a modulized editor, everything is a npm module! You could 100% compose to your personal usage!

Why another Editor?

Since this project is originally started from Canner, we notice that there is NO SINGLE editor is going to fit in all varieties of requirements, so we think the only way to solve this issue is to design a modular-first editor.

There are many other rich text and WYSIWYG editors online, but as slate - why section mentioned that most of these solutions are

  1. Not small and reusable
  2. Hardcoded and hard to customize
  3. Re-inventing the view layer seemed inefficient and limiting
  4. ...

Hence, this repository will try to keep all the advantages slate framework provides and create a more high level APIs for developers could also easily reuse and customize their own version of editor. Also we are always welcome to all kinds of contributions! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Notice

This project is using Antd as our primiary UI library.

Why

  1. Complete React UI solutions.
  2. Easy to customize styles: https://ant.design/docs/react/customize-theme
  3. Build-in i18n: https://ant.design/docs/react/i18n

One of the downside of using it, is it will increase your bundle size. see here for solution

Setting up Webpack

You will need to add css and less test rules in your webpack setting.

...
rules: [
  {
    test: /\.js$/,
    use: {
      loader: "babel-loader"
    },
    exclude: /node_modules/
  },
  {
    test: /\.css$/,
    use: [
      {
        loader: "style-loader"
      },
      {
        loader: "css-loader"
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    test: /\.less$/,
    use: [
      {
        loader: "style-loader"
      },
      {
        loader: "css-loader"
      },
      {

FAQ

1. Why not use Slate directly?

Slate is a well-designed powerful editor framework that helps you deal with difficult parts when building an editor, such as data modeling, updating states, rendering, editor schemas, serializing... (you could learn more here), while you are trying to build your own editors, it still need a lot of efforts to build a simple beautiful editor up and running with the framework.

This repository aims to provide complete editors and plugins solutions that allows you to use it right away, instead of digging through slate documentations and using our high-level components you could almost build editors without any slate framework knowledge to use.

2. Editor's bundle size is too large?

canner-slate-editor is using an awesome React library called Ant Design, the library provides many commonly used React components such as Tooltip, Table, Modal, etc... which is widely used in rendering our editors. One of the downside of using the library is it's bundle size. If you are trying to tackle size issue, we recommend following solutions:

  1. At Canner, our solution is to external antd in your bundler, and use CDN instead.
  2. Use modularized antd to reduce your bundle size.
