Koenig Default Nodes

Lexical node definitions for all of Ghost's cards, including each node's HTML renderer. This is the single source of truth for node rendering — both the editor and the server render through it.

Install

npm install @tryghost/kg-default-nodes

Usage

const {createEditor} = require('lexical');
const {DEFAULT_NODES, DEFAULT_CONFIG} = require('@tryghost/kg-default-nodes');

const editor = createEditor({
    nodes: DEFAULT_NODES,
    html: DEFAULT_CONFIG.html
});

DEFAULT_NODES covers Ghost's own cards, so pair it with the base Lexical nodes your content needs. DEFAULT_CONFIG.html supplies the import serializers that keep pasted HTML mapping onto the right nodes.

Individual nodes are exported by name (ImageNode, CalloutNode, and so on) when you need a subset rather than the full set.

This package must stay browser-safe: it runs inside the editor as well as on the server.

Develop

This package is part of the Ghost monorepo and resolves through the pnpm workspace — there is no linking or per-package install step. Run pnpm setup in the monorepo root, then work in koenig/kg-default-nodes.

See the Koenig README for the shared build, test and release workflow.

Test

• pnpm test:unit runs the unit tests
• pnpm test runs the unit and type tests, including coverage thresholds
• pnpm lint runs the lint checks
