[Feature Request] - Create a rich text editor component or plugin

[eazybit]

We are looking for a rich text editor that can do at least: bold, italic, alignment, bullets, and imbedded images.

There is nothing to pick from NativeScript components, or NativeScript UI components, or NativeScript plugins.

Can we create a rich text editor component or a plugin either based on ZSSRichTextEditor or CKEditor? I think that will be super helpful for the community.

Thanks

I think even having the ability to create a custom inputAccessoryView and append it to the keyboard could do the trick.

Hi @yuzhang666, Currently there is no Rich Text Editor as part of nativescript-pro-ui. You can have a look at this plugin which provides a textfield with icon and exposes a few additional attributes for styling.

What is the status of RichText Editor in nativescript?

I have developed my application using nativescript because I know angular 2 very well. After all work done, I stuck on one requirement of RichText editor. I went through all possibilities to implement other rich text editor but I was failed. Now I have to go with Xamarin if I don't find any solution in nativescript.

After weeks of trying, I have finally managed to hack together a webview based RichText Editor. Anyone interested can clone https://github.com/aukris/nativescript-rich-text-example

There's a rich text editor for Flutter https://github.com/memspace/zefyr which uses Quill.js Delta as underlying data format. May be something similar could be built with same approach for NativeScript.

Any update on this?

Anyone still need this feature? I´m starting a nativescript project that will need this, and have a few months to try and make something that works, maybe using quill and wrapping a webview. Will need something that works on IOS as well, so if anyone wanna try and give this a go together would be great.

Could anyone with more knowledge point if a ui component or a plugin would be the best approach?

I do need such a feature for my platform. Any update?

I have created this one, It is not a plugin but a rich text editor that is based on Webview and nativescript-webview-interface
