[QUESTION] Project update

[vadrian89]

Hello, I was looking into the project because I want to help with it, as I am also using it in a project. What I want to do at the moment:

• Refactor the code in a more readable and maintainable format.
• Enable support for desktop. Currently flutter_inappwebview package does not support desktop, so we can't add it to editor.
• Try and find a solution to focus issues.

Afterwards I want to help:

• tackle bugs
• also, maybe help to try and find a solution for https://github.com/tneotia/html-editor-enhanced/issues/92

Since this is your repo, I have a few questions:

• Do you accept PRs? Are you still active on this repo?
• Anything I should be aware of? Such as: do's and dont's, stuff I should avoid breaking, etc.
• Can I ask more questions if there is something I don't understand?

Anyone has any ideea why is the editor seems larger than the parent widget? The height is given from LayoutBuilder and is set to: summernote editor, IFrameElement and set to a SizedBox containing the HtmlElementView.

LayoutBuilder(
              builder: (context, constraints) {
                final width = constraints.maxWidth;
                final height = constraints.maxHeight;
                _iframe.width = width.toString();
                _iframe.height = height.toString();
                _sendMessageToIframe("setHeight", height.toString());
                return SizedBox(
                  height: height,
                  width: width,
                  child: Directionality(
                    textDirection: TextDirection.ltr,
                    child: HtmlElementView(viewType: _viewId),
                  ),
                );
              },
            )

print the values of maxWidth and maxHeight - they're probably infinity,

No, they are not, already tested that. Here are outputs:

Builder constraints: BoxConstraints(0.0<=w<=1888.0, 0.0<=h<=866.0)
Received toIframe message from parent: {"view":"1703407396787","type":"toIframe","method":"setHeight","value":"866"}
Setting height: 866
Received toIframe message from parent: {"view":"1703407396787","type":"toIframe","method":"setWidth","value":"1888"}
Setting width: 1888

I don't know what HtmlElementView is. What happens if you do this return SizedBox( height: height - 100, width: width - 100,

[vadrian89]

It resized the box accordingly, but the editor keeps it's size.

I'm not sure what you're doing. Maybe use flutter_widget_from_html (HtmlWidget) instead of the embedded thing. So is the idea of the embedded thing so the browser interprets the html meaning all tags etc. are supported. https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/widgets/HtmlElementView-class.html it says <The widget fills all available space, the parent of this object must provide bounded layout constraints.> Try ConstrainedBox instead of SizedBox.

The summernote status bar seems to be is the issue. It's taking aditional 10 px, I will disable it for now.

Update, apparently the issue was caused by padding from the summernote editor.

Since the owner of the repo didn't answer, I went ahead and made a new package to continue development there.

The package can be found at: https://pub.dev/packages/html_editor_plus While the repo: https://github.com/vadrian89/html-editor-plus

Thank you. I'll migrate to your package soon.

Hi, PRs are definitely accepted, only thing I ask is to make it easy as possible to review. PRs with mainly formatting changes become extremely difficult to review.

I am not as active but I try to take a look at my notifications every now and then so you can ask questions as well, no issues.
