Quill Delta from HTML

This is a package that converts HTML input into Quill Delta format, which is used in the Quill Js package.

This package supports the conversion of a wide range of HTML tags and attributes into their corresponding Delta operations, ensuring that your HTML content is accurately represented in the Quill editor.

Supported tags

    <!--Text Formatting-->
        <b>, <strong>: Bold text
        <i>, <em>: Italic text
        <u>, <ins>: Underlined text
        <s>, <del>: Strikethrough text
        <sup>: Superscript text
        <sub>: Subscript text

    <!--Headings-->
        <h1> to <h6>: Headings of various levels

    <!--Lists and nested ones-->
        <ul>: Unordered lists
        <ol>: Ordered lists
        <li>: List items
        <li data-checked="true">: Check lists
        <input type="checkbox">: Another alternative to make a check lists

    <!--Links-->
        <a>: Hyperlinks with support for the href attribute

    <!--Images-->
        <img>: Images with support for the src, align, and styles

    <!--div-->
        <div>: HTML tag containers

    <!--Videos -->
        <video>: Videos with support for the src

    <!--Blockquotes-->
        <blockquote>: Block quotations

    <!--Code Blocks-->
        <pre>, <code>: Code blocks

    <!--Text Alignment, inline text align and direction-->
        <p style="text-align:left|center|right|justify">: Paragraph style alignment
        <p align="left|center|right|justify">: Paragraph alignment
        <p dir="rtl">: Paragraph direction

    <!--Text attributes-->
        <p style="padding: 10px;font-size: 12px;font-family: Times New Roman;color:#ffffff">: Inline attributes

    <!--Custom Blocks-->
        <pullquote data-author="john">: Custom html

Quick Example

import { HtmlToDelta } from 'quill-delta-from-html';

const htmlContent: string = '<p>Hello, <b>world</b>!</p>';
const delta = new HtmlToDelta(<your_custom_blocks>, <YourHtmlToOperationsImpl>, <your_black_nodes_list>).convert(htmlContent);

/*
   { "insert": "hello, " },
   { "insert": "world", "attributes": {"bold": true} },
   { "insert": "!\n" }
*/

Creating your own CustomHtmlPart

What is a CustomHtmlPart?

CustomHtmlPartis a special class that let us convert custom HTML elements in Operation to Quill Delta.

First you need to define your own CustomHtmlPart

import { CustomHtmlPart } from 'quill-delta-from-html';
import { HTMLElement } from 'node-html-parser';
import Delta, { AttributeMap, Op } from 'quill-delta';

/// Custom block handler for <pullquote> elements.
class PullquoteBlock extends CustomHtmlPart {
  matches(element: HTMLElement): boolean {
    // you can put here the validation that you want
    // To detect a <p>, you just need to do something like:
    // element.rawTagName === 'p'
    return element.rawTagName === 'pullquote';
  }

  convert(element: HTMLElement, currentAttributes: AttributeMap): Op[] {
    const delta: Delta = new Delta();
    const attributes = { ...currentAttributes };

    // Extract custom attributes from the <pullquote> element
    // The attributes represent the data into a html tag
    // at this point, <pullquote> should have these attributes
    //
    // <pullquote data-author="John Doe" data-style="italic">
    // These attributes can be optional, so ensure not to use "!" to avoid any null conflict
    const author = element.attribs['data-author'];
    const style = element.attribs['data-style'];

    // Apply custom attributes to the Delta operations
    if (author) {
      delta.insert(
        `Pullquote: "${element.children[0].data}" by ${author}`,
        attributes,
      );
    } else {
      delta.insert(`Pullquote: "${element.children[0].data}"`, attributes);
    }

    if (style && style.toLowerCase() === 'italic') {
      attributes['italic'] = true;
    }
    return delta;
  }
}

After, put your PullquoteBlock to HtmlToDelta using the param customBlocks

import { HtmlToDelta } from 'quill-delta-from-html';

const htmlText: string = `
  <html>
    <body>
      <p>Regular paragraph before the custom block</p>
      <pullquote data-author="John Doe" data-style="italic">This is a custom pullquote</pullquote>
      <p>Regular paragraph after the custom block</p>
    </body>
  </html>
`;

// Registering the custom block
const customBlocks = [new PullquoteBlock()];

// Initialize HtmlToDelta with the HTML text and custom blocks
const converter = new HtmlToDelta(customBlocks);

// Convert HTML to Delta operations
const delta = converter.convert(htmlText);

/*
This should be resulting delta
  {"insert": "Regular paragraph before the custom block"},
  {"insert": "Pullquote: \"This is a custom pullquote\" by John Doe", "attributes": {"italic": true}},
  {"insert": "\n"},
  {"insert": "Regular paragraph after the custom block\n"}
*/

HtmlOperations

The HtmlOperations class is designed to streamline the conversion process from HTML to Delta operations, accommodating a wide range of HTML structures and attributes commonly used in web content.

To utilize HtmlOperations, extend this class and implement the methods necessary to handle specific HTML elements. Each method corresponds to a different HTML tag or element type and converts it into Delta operations suitable for use with Quill JS.

abstract class HtmlOperations {
  // customBlocks are passed internally by HtmlToDelta
  protected customBlocks?: CustomHtmlPart[];

  // You don't need to override this method
  // as it simply calls the other methods
  // to detect the type of HTML tag
  resolveCurrentElement(
    element: dom.Element,
    indentLevel?: number,
  ): Operation[];

  abstract brToOp(element: dom.Element): Operation[];
  abstract headerToOp(element: dom.Element): Operation[];
  abstract listToOp(element: dom.Element, indentLevel?: number): Operation[];
  abstract paragraphToOp(element: dom.Element): Operation[];
  abstract linkToOp(element: dom.Element): Operation[];
  abstract spanToOp(element: dom.Element): Operation[];
  abstract imgToOp(element: dom.Element): Operation[];
  abstract videoToOp(element: dom.Element): Operation[];
  abstract codeblockToOp(element: dom.Element): Operation[];
  abstract blockquoteToOp(element: dom.Element): Operation[];
}

Passing a custom HtmlOperations implementation

import { HtmlToDelta } from 'quill-delta-from-html';

const converter = new HtmlToDelta(...your_custom_blocks, <YourHtmlToOperationsImpl>);
