Built on top of tiptap editor(headless editor) and prosemirror. Easy to use, develop and maintain. A prompt engine that helps to integrate with any AI API, and enhance the writing experience.

Getting started

Install

//npm
npm install @nextlint/svelte

//yarn
yarn add @nextlint/svelte

//pnmp
npm add @nextlint/svelte

Setup

Nexltint editor uses headless svelte components from MeltUI and styles it with tailwindcss. The theme tokens are inherited from Svelte Shadcn.

If you already have shadcn setup in your project then you can skip this part.

1. Install tailwindcss and postcss:

pnpm add -D tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer sass
npx tailwindcss init -p

Now tailwind.config.js and postcss.config.js are created

2. Configure tailwind.config.js:

// more detail at https://www.shadcn-svelte.com/docs/installation/manual

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
  content: [
    './src/**/*.{svelte,js}',
    './node_modules/@nextlint/svelte/dist/**/*.{svelte,ts}'
  ],
  theme: {
    extend: {
      colors: {
        border: 'hsl(var(--border) / <alpha-value>)',
        input: 'hsl(var(--input) / <alpha-value>)',
        ring: 'hsl(var(--ring) / <alpha-value>)',
        background: 'hsl(var(--background) / <alpha-value>)',
        foreground: 'hsl(var(--foreground) / <alpha-value>)',
        primary: {
          DEFAULT: 'hsl(var(--primary) / <alpha-value>)',
          foreground: 'hsl(var(--primary-foreground) / <alpha-value>)'
        },
        secondary: {
          DEFAULT: 'hsl(var(--secondary) / <alpha-value>)',
          foreground: 'hsl(var(--secondary-foreground) / <alpha-value>)'
        },
        destructive: {
          DEFAULT: 'hsl(var(--destructive) / <alpha-value>)',
          foreground: 'hsl(var(--destructive-foreground) / <alpha-value>)'
        },
        muted: {
          DEFAULT: 'hsl(var(--muted) / <alpha-value>)',
          foreground: 'hsl(var(--muted-foreground) / <alpha-value>)'
        },
        accent: {
          DEFAULT: 'hsl(var(--accent) / <alpha-value>)',
          foreground: 'hsl(var(--accent-foreground) / <alpha-value>)'
        },
        popover: {
          DEFAULT: 'hsl(var(--popover) / <alpha-value>)',
          foreground: 'hsl(var(--popover-foreground) / <alpha-value>)'
        },
        card: {
          DEFAULT: 'hsl(var(--card) / <alpha-value>)',
          foreground: 'hsl(var(--card-foreground) / <alpha-value>)'
        }
      },
      borderRadius: {
        lg: 'var(--radius)',
        md: 'calc(var(--radius) - 2px)',
        sm: 'calc(var(--radius) - 4px)'
      },
      fontFamily: {
        sans: ['Inter']
      }
    }
  },
  plugins: []
};

Theme can customize via css tokens. The default token is located at EditorTheme.scss.

Usage:

To use the default theme, you need to wrap your SvelteEditor component with ThemeTheme:

<script lang="ts">
  import {SvelteEditor} from '@nextlint/svelte/EditorTheme';
  import EditorTheme from '@nextlint/svelte/EditorTheme';
</script>

<div class="editor">
  <EditorTheme>
    <SvelteEditor content="" placeholder="Start editing..." />
  </EditorTheme>
</div>

The EditorTheme basicaly just import the default theme we define in EditorTheme.scss:

<script lang="ts">
  import './EditorTheme.scss';
</script>

//EditorTheme.svelte

<slot />

Nexltint editor uses nextlint/core, which is a headless editor with existing plugins installed, can be used in any UI framework, compatible with tiptap and prosemirror plugins system.

Nextlint Svelte itself has some plugins completely written in Svelte and configurable
