What are @ckeditor/ckeditor5-theme-lark's main functionalities?

Basic Theme Integration

This code demonstrates how to integrate the Lark theme into a CKEditor 5 instance. It imports the necessary editor and plugin modules, as well as the Lark theme CSS, and initializes the editor with a basic toolbar.

import ClassicEditor from '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-editor-classic/src/classiceditor';
import Essentials from '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-essentials/src/essentials';
import Paragraph from '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-paragraph/src/paragraph';
import Bold from '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-basic-styles/src/bold';
import Italic from '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-basic-styles/src/italic';
import '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-theme-lark/theme/ckeditor.css';

ClassicEditor.create(document.querySelector('#editor'), {
    plugins: [ Essentials, Paragraph, Bold, Italic ],
    toolbar: [ 'bold', 'italic' ]
})
.then(editor => {
    console.log('Editor was initialized', editor);
})
.catch(error => {
    console.error(error.stack);
});

Customizing Theme Styles

This code sample shows how to customize the default styles provided by the Lark theme. It imports the Lark theme CSS and then adds custom styles to override the default appearance of the editor's editable area and toolbar.

import '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-theme-lark/theme/ckeditor.css';

const customStyles = `
.ck-editor__editable {
    background-color: #f0f0f0;
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    padding: 10px;
}

.ck-toolbar {
    background-color: #333;
    color: #fff;
}
`;

const styleSheet = document.createElement('style');
styleSheet.type = 'text/css';
styleSheet.innerText = customStyles;
document.head.appendChild(styleSheet);

Quill's themes are less integrated with the editor's core functionality, making it more flexible but potentially requiring more effort to achieve a cohesive design.

tinymce

TinyMCE is another popular WYSIWYG editor that provides various themes and skins. It offers a wide range of customization options and plugins, similar to CKEditor 5. However, TinyMCE's themes are more modular, allowing for greater flexibility in design but potentially requiring more configuration.
