new component: rich text editor

dpaez commented 5 years ago

It would be desired to have a customized à la latticejs rich text editor component built upon draft-js or slatejs.

We need to choose one of the options for the core and build upon it.

slatejs would get my vote

I am having some experience on DraftJS and it was a nightmare for me.

It is a very core framework to work, have to write everything from scratch.
Causes major issues in browser compatibility majorly for legacy browsers.
The nomenclature is tough to understand and code over it.
Even though they call it a framework but it still has a lot of third-party dependencies, like https://www.npmjs.com/package/draft-js-export-html or https://www.npmjs.com/package/draftjs-to-html

Better to embed an already created WYSIWYG editor. I down vote for DraftJS.

Interesting points @Rahulgarg30591. I'm OK with using slatejs as the core lib. We should aim to create a good integration with material UI and keep a simple/clean DX.

latticejs / lattice
