This Strapi plugin replaces the Markdown editor with a visual, easy-to-use text editor.
- 🧑🎓 Write content without needing to know Markdown syntax.
- 💅 Edit content visually, as in GoogleDocs or Notion.
- 🧱 Add rich content elements, such as embedded YouTube videos.
- 📦 Have your existing Markdown content automatically migrated.
The plugin stores the content in HTML format. When querying content on the frontend, you can simply render the received HTML string.
pnpm install strapi-plugin-rich-text
# Rebuild your Strapi admin panel
pnpm run buildAfter this, the Rich Text plugin should show up in your list of Plugins in the admin panel.
| What | How |
|---|---|
| Allow YouTube Embeds | If you want to embed videos from YouTube, make sure you update your strapi::security middleware (see here). |
This project uses Node.js 18 and pnpm. Make sure to meet these requirements before running
pnpm install
to install the dependencies.
This project includes an exemplary Strapi installation, which you can use to test the plugin while developing. If you clone the repository, you find a pre-populated SQLite database as well as the needed .env inside the project.
You can start the development server via pnpm dev and access the Strapi admin with the following user credentials:
E-Mail Address: [email protected]
Password: dummyAdmin123
The Strapi admin already contains some playgrounds to test the editor.
Unfortunately, the Strapi installation doesn't support hot reloads yet. If you update the plugin code inside packages/strapi-plugin-rich-text, you need to rebuild the Strapi admin in order to see your changes. Feel free to add this!
