Ghost editor, based on the Lexical framework.
npm install @tryghost/koenig-lexicalGhost editor, based on the Lexical framework.
The editor can be run in two modes:
- standalone mode: demo version that runs without a dependency on Ghost
- integrated mode: integrated into Ghost Admin
Run yarn dev to start the editor in standalone mode for development on http://localhost:5173. This command generates a demo site from the index.html file, which renders the demo app in demo/demo.jsx.
In order to run the editor inside Ghost Admin, follow the 3 steps below:
1. Link Koenig server-side dependencies inside Ghost
- Run yarn link inside Koenig/packages/kg-default-nodes and Koenig/packages/kg-lexical-html-renderer
- Paste the output at the root of the Ghost monorepo:
- yarn link @tryghost/kg-default-nodes
- yarn link @tryghost/kg-lexical-html-renderer
2. Start Ghost in dev mode: inside the Ghost monorepo, run yarn dev --lexical.
3. Start the editor in dev mode: inside the Koenig monorepo, run yarn dev.
Now, if you navigate to Ghost Admin at http://localhost:2368/ghost and open a post, it will use your local version of the editor. Changes to the editor will be reflected inside Ghost Admin after a few seconds - the time for the editor to get rebuilt.
#### Gif card
To see this card locally, you need to create .env.local file in koenig-lexical root package with the next data:
```
VITE_TENOR_API_KEY=xxx
How to get the tenor key is described here https://ghost.org/docs/config/#tenor
#### Bookmark & Embed cards
These cards make external web requests. Since the demo doesn't have a server to process these requests, we must fetch these resources on the front end. To do this we need to enable CORS, which is most easily done with a browser extension like 'Test CORS' for Chrome. Otherwise you will see blocked requests logging errors in the console. This can also be avoided by using test data directly without fetching via fetchEmbed.js.
/src
The main module source. /src/index.js is the entry point for the exposed module and should export everything needed to use the module from an external app.
/demo
Used for developing/demoing the editor. Renders a blank editor with all features enabled.
CSS
Styling should be done using Tailwind classes where possible.
All styles are scoped under .koenig-lexical class to avoid clashes and keep styling as isolated as possible. PostCSS nesting support is present to make this easier.
- Styles located in src/styles/ are included in the final built module.demo/*.css
- Styles located in are only used in the demo and will not be included in the built module.
When packaging the module, styles are included inside the JS file rather than being separate to allow for a single import of the module in the consuming app.
SVGs
SVGs can be imported as React components in the same way as create-react-app. Typically files are stored in src/assets/.
All imported files are processed/optimised via SVGO (see svgo.config.js for optimisation config) and included in the built JS file.
We use Vitest for unit tests and Playwright for e2e testing.
- yarn test runs all tests and exitsyarn test:unit
- runs unit testsyarn test:unit:watch
- runs unit tests and starts a test watcher that re-runs tests on file changesyarn test:unit:watch --ui
- runs unit tests and opens a browser UI for exploring and re-running testsyarn test:e2e
- runs e2e testsyarn test:e2e --headed
- runs tests in browser so you can watch the tests executeyarn test:slowmo
- same as yarn test:e2e --headed but adds 100ms delay between instructions to make it easier to see what's happening (note that some tests may fail or timeout due to the added delays)yarn test:e2e --ui
- opens a browser UI in watch mode for exploring and re-running testsyarn test:e2e --ui --headed
- same as yarn test:e2e --ui but also runs tests in browser so you can watch the tests execute
Before tests are started we build a version of the demo app that is used for the unit tests.
When developing it can be useful to limit unit tests to specific keywords (taken from describe or it/test names). That's possible using the -t param and works with any of the above test commands, e.g.:
- yarn test:unit:watch -t "buildCardMenu"
You can download the report in case of tests were failed. It can be found in the actions Summary in the Artifacts section.npx playwright show-trace trace.zip
To check traces, run command .

Node enables ECMAScript modules if type: 'module' in package.json file. It leads to some restrictions:
- No require, exports, module.exports, __filename, __dirname
- Mandatory file extensions
- No require.extensions. It means we don't have control over the extensions list. Further will be a description of why this is important.
We can make file extension optional with --experimental-specifier-resolution
flag, which we use. But node is not recognized jsx extension.
It can be solved with node loaders, whereas
as they're still in experimental mode, there is no appropriate
implementation for this use case.
The same issue was raised in the babel repo, but the loader won't be added while node loaders are
in experimental mode.
We can add our loader implementation to solve the issue. Still, in reality, we shouldn't need real
JSX components in e2e tests. It can be a situation when some constants locate in the jsx` file. In this case,
we can move them to js file. If it is a problem in the future, we can add our implementation of the loader or
add an extension to all imports in the project.
There's a vitest vscode extension that
lets you run and debug individual unit tests/groups directly inside vscode.
Koenig packages are shipped via Lerna at the monorepo level. Please refer to the monorepo's README for deployment instructions.
