Comparison to other editors

The main difference to other WYSIWYG editors is that blökkli does not manage the data - it's just the editor. It provides a single interface (called adapter) to integrate any backend or data structure. Actually performing the mutations (like add, delete, move, setting options) is left to the adapter. In most cases an adapter method performs API calls, but it could as well all be done in the browser. In fact, the demo page / playground implements a reference adapter that stores mutations in local storage and keeps data in JSON files.

Integration with Nuxt

One of the main goals of blökkli is to offer a seamless integration with your new or existing Nuxt app. Creating new block components is straightforward. Options to change the appearance of a block are directly defined in the component, so is configuration that defines the behaviour of the block when rendered in the editor.

During normal rendering of blocks (not in the editor), the provided blökkli components and composables have a minimal overhead, to not have a negative impact on performance.

Backends

Currently blökkli ships with an adapter to integrate it with the paragraphs module of Drupal. The Paragraphs blökkli module implements all features available in the editor. It provides a new edit state entity that stores the applied mutations and implements a GraphQL schema extension to integrate the adapter.

Roadmap

blökkli is currently still in beta and therefore subject to change. If you're considering integrating it in production sites you should probably wait until the first stable release.
