QuillJS table

Test lab for creating TABLE functionality in QuillJS using Containers.

Code of quill is included in project so we can easily play with it in our tests.

Run

Try by opening quilljs-table/index.html in a browser.

Aim of this project

While the code is at this point more or less hacked together, long term goal is to provide enough material to understand table behavior so we end up with stable working solution for quill.

Please feel free to add your own files and directories to play with the concept.

Progress so far

  • TABLE, TR and TD are containers - it is possible to have multiple block blots in TD.
  • all tables, rows and cells are identified by random strings and optimize merge only those with the same id.
  • It is possible to add tables by defining rows and cols count in grid.
  • It is possible to add rows and columns to existing tables (accessible by buttons in toolbar).
  • it is possible to copy & paste table from Word. Works ok. Needs to test edge cases.

Known issues

It is early stage so there is a lot of issues with current state. Still there are some worth to mention which should be dealt with.

  • Lists (number or bullet) in cell upon enter loose list format on previous line but keeps it on actual.
  • Delete and backspace behavior on tables should be either disabled or should have some well defined behavior. Now it is pretty easy to destroy table in ugly way.
  • Definition of TableTrick is hacked in just to test if adding of rows and cols is easily possible - which is. Should be done differently so quill doesn't throw exception (it continues to work).
  • Undo/History breaks badly with cell deletions (disabled backspace could solve this).
  • When loading delta of nested container in table cell, nested container loose format.
  • Pressing enter in table cell leads to inserting container into the container. It is hacked in ContainBlot insertBefore function by striping parent container and optimize then merges it fine. But it should be resolved earlier on MutationRecord creation or probably somewhere on update at Scroll or Container level.
  • Containers need order similar to Inline.order. Otherwise delta is not canonical.
  • Organization of code is hectic as it was not refactored even once from our first attempts to put this all to work.
