Project Details

Situation

I needed a feature-rich WYSIWYG editor for my projects that would support advanced features like code blocks, mentions, and custom extensions. Existing editors either lacked the features I needed or didn't integrate well with my React/TypeScript stack.

Task

I set out to build a comprehensive rich text editor component built on Tiptap that would provide a modern editing experience with support for tables, code blocks, mentions, and custom extensions.

Action

I built a WYSIWYG editor component using Tiptap (built on ProseMirror) as the foundation. I implemented support for tables, syntax-highlighted code blocks using Highlight.js, user mention functionality, and custom extensions. I added contextual bubble menus for better UX, implemented customizable keyboard shortcuts, and created an extensible architecture that allows for custom use cases.

Takeaway

This project taught me the complexity of building rich text editors. Tiptap's extensible architecture was crucial for adding custom features. The balance between functionality and performance is key when building complex editing experiences.

Results & Impact

Created a production-ready rich text editor with advanced features including syntax-highlighted code blocks, user mentions, and extensible architecture. The editor provides a modern editing experience that can be customized for various use cases.
