VueWrite

Another rich text editor, built on Vue 3 reactivity. It ships no styles and no block types — you decide how everything renders, and it handles the editing model, selection, history and clipboard. About 11 kB gzipped, Vue 3 the only dependency.

npm install vuewrite

How it works

A document is a flat array of blocks. A block is plain text plus a list of style ranges:

{ id: "1", text: "Hello world", styles: [{ start: 0, end: 5, style: "bold" }] }

Nothing is styled out of the box. A decorator turns a style into a tag/class/attributes; a renderer turns a block into its element. Bold, headings, lists, links, code blocks, images — you map them however you want.

Quickstart

<template>
  <TextEditor ref="editor" v-model="text" :decorator="decorator" class="editor" @keydown="onKeyDown" />
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref } from 'vue'
import { TextEditor } from 'vuewrite'
import type { TextEditorRef, Style } from 'vuewrite'

const editor = ref<TextEditorRef>()
const text = ref([{ id: '1', text: '' }])

const decorator = (style: Style) => ({ class: style.style })

const onKeyDown = (e: KeyboardEvent) => {
  if ((e.ctrlKey || e.metaKey) && e.code === 'KeyB') {
    e.preventDefault()
    editor.value?.toggleStyle('bold')
  }
}
</script>

<style>
.editor { white-space: pre-wrap; outline: none; }
.editor .bold { font-weight: 700; }
</style>

Components

• TextEditor — the editable, contenteditable component (v-model of blocks, or a string in single mode).
• TextViewer — a read-only renderer for the same blocks, for previews and read paths.

Markdown

vuewrite/markdown converts between Markdown and blocks (headings, lists, code, dividers, GFM pipe tables, inline styles, custom blocks):

import { markdownToBlocks, blocksToMarkdown } from 'vuewrite/markdown'

Tables

vuewrite/table is an opt-in, tree-shakable entry with the table editing UI — drop TableEditor/TableViewer into the #table slot and insert one with createTableBlock(). The core owns the table data contract (so markdown and clipboard interop for free); pasting from and copying to spreadsheets round-trips.

import { TableEditor, TableViewer, createTableBlock } from 'vuewrite/table'
import 'vuewrite/style.css' // structural table CSS — theme on top

Full props, the editor ref, slots, types and the Markdown options are in the API reference.
