What is slate-plain-serializer?

The slate-plain-serializer package is a utility for serializing and deserializing Slate.js editor content to and from plain text. It is particularly useful for converting rich text content into a simple text format and vice versa, which can be useful for storage, processing, or interoperability with systems that require plain text.

What are slate-plain-serializer's main functionalities?

Serialize Slate Value to Plain Text

This feature allows you to convert a Slate Value object into a plain text string. This is useful for extracting the text content from a rich text editor for purposes such as saving to a database or displaying in a non-rich text context.

const { Plain } = require('slate-plain-serializer');
const value = { /* Slate Value object */ };
const plainText = Plain.serialize(value);
console.log(plainText);

Deserialize Plain Text to Slate Value

This feature allows you to convert a plain text string into a Slate Value object. This is useful for initializing a Slate editor with text content that was previously stored as plain text.

const { Plain } = require('slate-plain-serializer');
const plainText = 'This is some plain text.';
const value = Plain.deserialize(plainText);
console.log(value);
