[admin uis] What RTE?

[npeltier]

Hey, for m@s project we had to go with some RTE choice and took TinyMCE as it was universal editor's one at that moment. Now it's very likely it will change to some other one at some point, and there are complaints about its usage of iframe (cc @yesil :) )
Aside from that, had a chat with @auniverseaway that has picked prosemirror for document authoring.
I've heard about quill, lexical, and i will learn about others as well i guess

we will have to develop a few more plugins soon, and i would like to poll if by any chance we could all agree on one RTE of choice. Beside the fact we may reach at some point a unified admin ui, developing plugins for RTEs takes time (ramp up & pure dev), and i guess we would benefit from not scattering our efforts.

Without having looked into the options and what fits the use-case the best, from a consistency perspective, I'd go with the same stack as DA. That makes it easier to track issues, bugs, enhancements, onboarding from one to the other as necessary etc.

Agreed - DA is committed to Prosemirror at this point. Unless ProseMirror can't provide what you need, then we should probably stick to the same.

If the use-cases are covered by prosemirror for m@s, better to stick with it.

Another aspect to consider, perhaps not so critical, is Pricing – TinyMCE is a paid service whereas Prosemirror is open source.

To help with the comparaison attaching stackblitz demos.
I don't include quill as I don't find it very easily customizable.

prosemirror: https://stackblitz.com/edit/basic-prosemirror?file=index.ts

lexical: https://stackblitz.com/edit/lexical-vanilla-js?file=src%2Fmain.ts

TinyMCE: (MAS Studio implementation, WIP): https://github.com/adobecom/mas/blob/main/studio/src/rte-editor.js

I think I like both prosemirror and lexical demos.
I like how prosemirror is used in DA with a blank canvas and toolbar on the side.
We should probably give prosemirror a try and then, if not satisfied discuss with DA folks, and then consider a Lexical POC.

i guess i agree with the alignement :) just wanted to "instruct" the choice a minimum in an opened way.
As per licenses @Axelcureno , main players here are MIT licensed, so should be good while under this. For TinyMCE, as long as we don't sell things built on this, we are good. So for this matter, it was not really a topic.
