keystone-react-editor v1.2.0

⚛️⚡ Keystone React Editor

Brief Background

👋 I recently embarked on a journey to integrate the document editor from Keystone into a client-only project. However, I hit a roadblock as the editor was tightly coupled with the Keystone context and carried significant server-side dependencies.

After a thorough investigation into the source code, I identified that the culprit was the relationship feature (tags and mentions), which heavily relied on server-side functionality. Determined to make the document editor more versatile, I decided to take matters into my own hands.

To make the document editor more adaptable to client-only projects, I meticulously extracted its source code from the Keystone repository. I stripped off every trace and dependencies of the relationship feature (with hope to add a client compactible alternative implementation later).

Installation

yarn

yarn add keystone-react-editor

npm

npm install keystone-react-editor

import { useRef } from "react";
import {
  DocumentEditor,
  defaultDocumentFeatures,
  initialEditorValue,
} from "keystone-react-editor";

function App() {
 const value = useRef(initialEditorValue)
  return (
    <DocumentEditor
      initialValue={value.current}
      componentBlocks={{}}
      documentFeatures={defaultDocumentFeatures}
      onChange={(value) => {
        value.current = value;
        console.log(value);
      }}
    />
  );
}

documentFeatures is basically the layout specification, should match what was specified in the cms document field config.

The Document Editor uses slate under the hood, which is an uncontrolled component, we are using ref so as to maintain the initialValue across rerenders, as the document editor tends to remount for every rerender (using a state, leads to some weird behaviour, editor always remounting while being typed on).
