Quill RichText Editor

A RichText Editor component for Vaadin Flow using the open source Quill Editor library

Install

Add the quill-editor dependency to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.vaadin.schoningorg.vaadin.schoning</groupId>
    <artifactId>quill-editor</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

Do not forget to add the vaadin-addons repository:

<repository>
   <id>vaadin-addons</id>
   <url>http://maven.vaadin.com/vaadin-addons</url>
</repository>

Basic Usage

Create a QuillEditor and configure the toolbar. Define which toolbar commands should be removed. The default behaviour is that the toolbar will contain all available commands.

    QuillEditor quillEditor = new QuillEditor();
    quillEditor.getToolbarConfigurator()
        .noFontDecorators()
        .noColors()
        .initEditor();

    quillEditor.setSizeFull();
    layout.add(quillEditor);

Binding the QuillEditor to a Binder instance. QuillEditor extends the com.vaadin.flow.component.AbstractCompositeField class so it is possible to bind it to a Binder as with all the other Vaadin components which extend the HasValue interface.

    QuillEditor quillEditor = new QuillEditor();
    Binder<Bean> beanBinder = new Binder<>();
    
    beanBinder
        .forField(quillEditor)
        .asRequired("Content is mandatory")
        .bind(Bean::getContent, Bean::setContent);
