NIB
Demo
Despite various options available for rich text editing in html, it continues to be extremely challenging area. I found prosemirror to be the best available solution for the problem. It is great work by author Marijn Haverbeke.
Making an editor ground up from a framework is still much work, the project aims at building components for rich text editing using prosemirror. These components can be quickly integrated into react or even non-react applications.
Setup
Setup of the editor is quite straight forward. It is required to be installed from npm.
Installing packages:
Either npm or yarn commands can be used.
npm i nib-core --save
Writing editor component:
import React from "react";
import Editor from "nib-core";
const MyEditor = () => <Editor />;
