Contenteditable div

Justoverclock

I've actually found this, i don't know if is available on flarum at moment, or if there's another method to use the contenteditable div

but can be useful for extension development, maybe we can build some extension to modify code block inside post dinamically

p.s. sorry if is a useless question

Justoverclock You can install npm packages just for your extension by running npm install NAME in your js folder. Then you can import stuff from them.

askvortsov yes i know that, i'm asking if theres already a built in functionality for this kind of element 🙂

Justoverclock Not that I know of.

contenteditable is just another web technology that any extension could use, with or without that particular library. Using a contenteditable input is likely very easy, it's parsing/validating/sanitizing the value in the backend that might present some challenges. Saving and rendering user-created HTML requires good security consideration.

I would assume the WYSIWYG extension use contenteditable it behind the scenes. But I haven't tried it yet.

clarkwinkelmann sure, but how can i display this with mithril? i need that extension, right?
