What it is

Quill is a modern WYSIWYG rich text editor built on TypeScript and extensible architecture. It provides real-time collaborative editing capabilities through Operational Transformation (OT), allowing multiple users to edit documents simultaneously while maintaining consistency. The core editor supports rich formatting (bold, italic, lists, links, images), theming (Snow and Bubble themes), and custom module/blot extensions. Monorepo using npm workspaces: packages/quill/ contains the core editor engine (TypeScript source in src/), packages/website/ holds documentation and examples. Core assets live in packages/quill/src/assets/ with theme stylesheets (base.styl, bubble.styl,…

Start here

Open these first:

  • packages/quill/src/core/quill.ts — Main Quill editor class and public API entry point; all editor operations flow through this core module.
  • packages/quill/src/blots/scroll.ts — Root document model for Quill's blot-based DOM abstraction; essential for understanding content representation.
  • packages/quill/src/core/editor.ts — Handles document mutations and delta operations; central to content modification logic.
  • packages/quill/src/core/selection.ts — Manages user text selection and cursor state; critical for user interaction handling.
  • packages/quill/src/blots/block.ts — Block-level blot abstraction for structured content elements like paragraphs and lists.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone and install with npm workspaces: git clone https://github.com/slab/quill.git && cd quill && npm install (requires npm >=8.2.3 per engines field). Then start dev servers: npm start to run both quill dev build a…

Daily commands:

npm start from repository root starts both editor dev server (port 9080 per config) and website server (port 9000). The NEXT_PUBLIC_LOCAL_QUILL=true env var in start:website script hints the website uses locally-built…

Key cautions & unknowns

  • Stale — last commit 1y ago
  • Concentrated ownership — top contributor handles 79% of recent commits
  • Scorecard: marked unmaintained (0/10)
  • npm version constraint: engines field enforces npm >=8.2.3 with engineStrict: true, so npm 6.x or 7.x installs will fail. The monorepo uses workspaces heavily; single-package installs via npm install -w quill must be…
  • Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
