Typester (typecode.github.io/typester)

A simple to use WYSIWYG text editor inspired by Medium and Medium Editor that gives you clean and predictable HTML from your user's input.

• Single file import (batteries included): No need to import separate stylesheets and additional dependencies. Typester comes with everything it needs rolled into one JS file.
• Engineered for modern JS modules Typester has been created using ES6+ JavaScript module patterns which means you need only import it and instantiate it. If you still prefer <script> imports that's fine too Typester will bind itself to the global scope allowing you to new window.Typester({ /* options */ }).
• Minimal DOM footprint It wont clutter your beautifully laid out markup with multiple DOM injections for each editor instance. Need multiple editors on a single page? No problem, typester will inject single instances of its DOM requirements which will be shared between the editors.
• Pure XSS-free DOM powered by DOMPurify Typester, thanks to the awesome power of DOMPurify, will make sure that the HTML you receive is sanitized against XSS exploits.

Installation

Right now Typester is only available via npm. We may look into offering CDN hosted options and/or downloadable and self-hostable options. But, for now, you can:

npm install typester-editor

or for the yarn folks:

yarn add typester-editor --save

Usage

Setting up Typester on your page is as easy as:

import Typester from 'typester-editor'

const typesterInstance = new Typester({ el: document.querySelector('[contenteditable]') }) // Where document.querySelector(...) is a single DOM element.

// If you need to tear down for any reason:
typesterInstance.destroy();

Configuration

You can configure the formatters available for a specific typester instance in two ways:

1. When you instatiate a Typester instance via the custom configs option:

new Typester({
    el: document.querySelector('[contenteditable]'),
    configs: {
        toolbar: {
            buttons: ['bold', 'italic', 'h1', 'h2', 'orderedlist', 'unorderedlist', 'quote', 'link']
        },

        styles: {
          colors: {
            flyoutBg: 'rgb(32, 31, 32)',
            menuItemIcon: 'rgb(255, 255, 255)',
            menuItemHover: 'rgb(0, 174, 239)',
            menuItemActive: 'rgb(0, 156, 215)'
          }
        }
    }
});

2. By using a data attribute on the editable container

<div contenteditable='true' data-toolbar-buttons='["bold", "italic", "h1", "h2", "orderedlist", "unorderedlist", "quote", "link"]'></div>

The options available for the toolbar buttons are:

• Inline formatters: bold, italic
• Headers: h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6
• Lists: orderedlist, unorderedlist
• Blockquotes: quote
• Links: link

Setup local dev environment

Install all the node modules

~> yarn

Run build scripts

For a one time build

~> yarn build

For a continuous reactive build that watches for changes

~> yarn watch

Run the dev server

~> yarn dev-server

You should then be able to navigate your browser to:

http://localhost:9000

Run the tests

Make sure you build first

Unit tests (Karma & Jasmine)

~> yarn test_unit

e2e tests (nightwatch)

~> yarn test_e2e

all tests (unit & e2e)

~> yarn test

Build and read the developer docs

For a once off build:

~> yarn docs

For a continuous file change reactive build

~> yarn docs_watch

Then, to read the docs:

~> yarn docs_server

And point you browser to:

http://localhost:9001
