What are @types/quill's main functionalities?
Basic Editor Initialization
Initializes a basic Quill editor with the 'snow' theme. This is the most fundamental use case for setting up a Quill editor.
const quill = new Quill('#editor', { theme: 'snow' });
Custom Toolbar
Sets up a Quill editor with a custom toolbar configuration, allowing for specific formatting options like bold, italic, and lists.
const toolbarOptions = [['bold', 'italic'], [{ 'list': 'ordered'}, { 'list': 'bullet' }]]; const quill = new Quill('#editor', { modules: { toolbar: toolbarOptions }, theme: 'snow' });
Event Handling
Adds an event listener to the Quill editor to handle text changes, useful for reacting to user input in real-time.
quill.on('text-change', function(delta, oldDelta, source) { console.log('Text change detected!'); });
Content Retrieval
Retrieves the current content of the Quill editor in Delta format, which can be used for saving or processing the editor's content.
const content = quill.getContents(); console.log(content);
