Nuxt Crouton Editor

Rich text editor addon layer for Nuxt Crouton, now powered by Nuxt UI Editor.

v2.0 Breaking Change: This package now wraps Nuxt UI's UEditor component instead of bundling TipTap directly. This provides a more feature-rich, maintained editor with better Nuxt UI integration.

Features

• Nuxt UI Editor - Full-featured rich text editing via Nuxt UI
• Backwards Compatible - CroutonEditorSimple still works as before
• New Capabilities - Access to slash commands, mentions, emoji picker, drag & drop
• Type-safe - Full TypeScript support
• Dark Mode - Automatic dark mode support via Nuxt UI theming

Installation

1. Install the package

pnpm add @friendlyinternet/nuxt-crouton-editor

2. Ensure Nuxt UI is configured

This package requires @nuxt/ui v4+ to be installed and configured in your project:

// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@nuxt/ui'],
  extends: [
    '@friendlyinternet/nuxt-crouton',
    '@friendlyinternet/nuxt-crouton-editor'
  ]
})

Usage

CroutonEditorSimple (Backwards Compatible)

The simplest way to add a rich text editor:

<template>
  <CroutonEditorSimple v-model="content" />
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
const content = ref('<p>Hello world!</p>')
</script>

Props: | Prop | Type | Default | Description | |------|------|---------|-------------| | modelValue | string | '' | HTML/Markdown content (v-model) | | placeholder | string | 'Start writing...' | Placeholder text | | contentType | 'html' \| 'markdown' \| 'json' | 'html' | Content format |

Using Nuxt UI Editor Directly (Recommended)

For full control, use Nuxt UI's editor components directly:

<template>
  <UEditor
    v-slot="{ editor }"
    v-model="content"
    content-type="html"
    placeholder="Write something..."
  >
    <!-- Bubble toolbar on text selection -->
    <UEditorToolbar :editor="editor" :items="toolbarItems" layout="bubble" />

    <!-- Slash commands (type /) -->
    <UEditorSuggestionMenu :editor="editor" :items="slashItems" />

    <!-- Drag handle for block reordering -->
    <UEditorDragHandle :editor="editor" />
  </UEditor>
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
import type { EditorToolbarItem, EditorSuggestionMenuItem } from '@nuxt/ui'

const content = ref('<p>Hello world!</p>')

const toolbarItems: EditorToolbarItem[][] = [
  [
    { kind: 'mark', mark: 'bold', icon: 'i-lucide-bold' },
    { kind: 'mark', mark: 'italic', icon: 'i-lucide-italic' },
    { kind: 'mark', mark: 'strike', icon: 'i-lucide-strikethrough' }
  ],
  [
    { kind: 'bulletList', icon: 'i-lucide-list' },
    { kind: 'orderedList', icon: 'i-lucide-list-ordered' }
  ]
]

const slashItems: EditorSuggestionMenuItem[][] = [
  [
    { kind: 'heading', level: 1, label: 'Heading 1', icon: 'i-lucide-heading-1' },
    { kind: 'heading', level: 2, label: 'Heading 2', icon: 'i-lucide-heading-2' },
    { kind: 'bulletList', label: 'Bullet List', icon: 'i-lucide-list' }
  ]
]
</script>

Migration from v1.x

Breaking Changes

1. Peer dependency: Requires @nuxt/ui v4+ instead of nuxt-tiptap
2. Removed: CroutonEditorToolbar - use UEditorToolbar directly
3. Removed: Direct TipTap dependencies - handled by Nuxt UI

Migration Steps

1. Update dependencies:

   pnpm remove nuxt-tiptap @tiptap/vue-3 @tiptap/starter-kit
   pnpm add @nuxt/ui@^4.0.0

2. Update nuxt.config.ts:

   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     modules: ['@nuxt/ui'], // Required
     extends: [
       '@friendlyinternet/nuxt-crouton',
       '@friendlyinternet/nuxt-crouton-editor'
     ]
   })

3. Component changes:

   <!-- Before (still works) -->
   <CroutonEditorSimple v-model="content" />
   
   <!-- After (recommended for full features) -->
   <UEditor v-model="content" content-type="html" />

4. Custom toolbar (if you were using CroutonEditorToolbar):

   <!-- Before -->
   <CroutonEditorToolbar :editor="editor" />
   
   <!-- After -->
   <UEditorToolbar :editor="editor" :items="toolbarItems" layout="bubble" />
