An extensible text editor framework that does things differently. Lexical is comprised of editor instances that each attach to a single content editable element. A set of editor states represent the current and pending states of the editor at any given time. Lexical is designed for everyone. It follows best practices established in WCAG and is compatible with screen readers and other assistive technologies. Lexical is minimal. It doesn't directly concern itself with UI components, toolbars or rich-text features and markdown. The logic for these features can be included via a plugin interface. It's super easy to get started with Lexical in any environment. Lexical is framework agnostic, but provides a set of bindings for React to help you get off the ground even quicker. After the initial setup, delightfully ergonomic APIs make building custom functionality straightforward and downright fun!

Features

  • At its core, Lexical is a text-editing engine
  • Lexical exposes a set of individual, modular packages that can be used to add common features like lists, links, and tables
  • Lexical emphasizes extensibility
  • Nodes can be extended to add or change behavior and simple, imperative APIs make it a breeze to build for custom use cases
