A Quick way of experimenting with React StarterKit, Material UI and NextJS

Experimenting with WYSIWYG editor Quill

To start experimenting quickly we'll use a template. This will speed up our process immensely.

Navigate to GitHub template project and use the template by clicking Open in Codespace:

When everything loads go to Terminal and install Quill editor:

yarn add react-quill

Start the server and click  Open in Browser to see our project in the new tab.

yarn dev

We will add quill to home.tsx component.

Modify code in home.tsx:

import { Box } from "@mui/material";
import { FC, useState } from "react";
import 'react-quill/dist/quill.snow.css';

const ReactQuill = typeof window === 'object' ? require('react-quill') : () => false; // SSR problem mitigation

export const HomePage: FC = () => {
  const [value, setValue] = useState('');

  let modules = {
    toolbar: [
      [{ 'header': [1, 2, false] }],
      ['bold', 'italic', 'underline','strike', 'blockquote'],
      [{'list': 'ordered'}, {'list': 'bullet'}, {'indent': '-1'}, {'indent': '+1'}],
      ['link', 'image'],
      ['clean']
    ],
  };

  let formats = [
    'header',
    'bold', 'italic', 'underline', 'strike', 'blockquote',
    'list', 'bullet', 'indent',
    'link', 'image'
  ];

  return (
    <>
      <Box>
        <h1>Testing react-quill editor</h1>
      </Box>
      <Box>
          <ReactQuill theme="snow" value={value} modules={modules} formats={formats} onChange={setValue}></ReactQuill>
      </Box>
    </>
  );
};

This is it, check the results in the server tab:
