markov_draftjs

Draft.js sample content generated with Markov chains of Project Gutenberg books.

This sample content is meant to be used while testing projects based on Draft.js, in particular Draftail and draftjs_exporter.

Why

Sample content can be useful to stress-test and benchmark tools built to handle Draft.js content. For the exporter, this is a great way to reliably assess its performance.

The content from this repository isn't generated randomly – while the text and metadata values are fake, the content’s structure and the distribution of rich text formatting amongst the text is representative of that of 3 big CMS sites combined.

Here are rich text formats used in the content:

• Blocks
  • unstyled
  • header-two
  • header-three
  • header-four
  • ordered-list-item, depth: 0 or 1
  • unordered-list-item, depth: 0 or 1
  • atomic
• Inline styles
  • BOLD
  • ITALIC
• Entities
  • LINK, MUTABLE with url (URL), linkType (page|external|email), optionally id (number)
  • DOCUMENT, MUTABLE with label (plain text), id (string containing a number)
  • IMAGE, IMMUTABLE with title (plain text), id (string containing a number), src (URL)
  • HORIZONTAL_RULE, IMMUTABLE without data

Using the sample content

In order to simplify using the samples across multiple projects, they are published as packages on npm and PyPI.

# JavaScript projects.
npm install markov_draftjs
# Python projects.
pip install markov_draftjs

Then, in JavaScript:

const contentStates = require("markov_draftjs");

And in Python:

from markov_draftjs import get_content_sample

content_states = get_content_sample()

The sample content is also available from GitHub, eg. with RawGit (warning - big file): https://cdn.rawgit.com/thibaudcolas/markov_draftjs/44827d98/markov_draftjs/content.json.
