Online Demo

Updated

• 
  

  Replace TableCellLine.tagName from DIV to P. Using DIV to implement TableCellLine led a copy/paste issue: #50. There are many more similar situations. When the user pastes the DIV tag into the editor, the DIV will be treated as a TableCellLine.

Requirements

quilljs v2.0.0-dev.3

Since I use webpack externals to bundle, you must expose Quill to window object, like load quill.js by script tag globally. Or you may need to fork this repo and build what you need.

Installation

``
npm install quill-better-table
`

Usage

Load quill and style dependencies
`

`
`


`

ES6
`
import QuillBetterTable from 'quill-better-table'

Quill.register({
'modules/better-table': QuillBetterTable
}, true)

window.onload = () => {
const quill = new Quill('#editor-wrapper', {
theme: 'snow',
modules: {
table: false, // disable table module
'better-table': {
operationMenu: {
items: {
unmergeCells: {
text: 'Another unmerge cells name'
}
}
}
},
keyboard: {
bindings: QuillBetterTable.keyboardBindings
}
}
})

document.body.querySelector('#insert-table')
.onclick = () => {
let tableModule = quill.getModule('better-table')
tableModule.insertTable(3, 3)
}
}
`

Module methods


first, you can get quill-better-table module by quill.getModule
`
let module = quill.getModule('better-table')
`

module.getTable(range = quill.getSelection())

get an array with TableContainer, TableRow, TableCell, offset through the given range.
`
module.getTable() // current selection
module.getTable(range)
// [TableContainer, TableRow, TableCell, 0]
`

module.insertTable(rows: Number, columns: Number)

insert table at current position
`
module.insertTable(3, 3)
`

Module Options

quill-better-table only provide operation options now.
`
const quill = new Quill('#editor', {
theme: 'snow',
modules: {
table: false, // disable table module
'better-table': {
operationMenu: {
items: {
unmergeCells: {
text: 'Another unmerge cells name'
}
},
color: {
colors: ['#fff', 'red', 'rgb(0, 0, 0)'], // colors in operationMenu
text: 'Background Colors' // subtitle
}
}
},
keyboard: {
bindings: QuillBetterTable.keyboardBindings
}
}
})
`

operationMenu

OperationMenu configures the operation list in right-click menu.

operationMenu.items

operationMenu show all operations as default. false will remove the operation.
`
{
operationKey: {
text: 'foo'
},

operationKey: false
}
`
operationKey is the name of operation, there is a list below:


• insertColumnRight


• insertColumnLeft


• insertRowUp


• insertRowDown


• mergeCells


• unmergeCells


• deleteColumn


• deleteRow


• deleteTable

You may need to modify the menu text, operationKey.text will do that.

operationMenu.color


Background colors is optional, the default is hidden. If you need this feature, use this configure.
`
{
colors: ['#fff', 'red', 'rgb(0, 0, 0)'], // colors you need in operationMenu, ['white', 'red', 'yellow', 'blue'] as default
text: 'Background Colors' // subtitle, 'Background Colors' as default
}
