PHP Quill Renderer

Render quill insert deltas to HTML, Markdown and GitHub flavoured Markdown.

Description

Quill deltas renderer, converts deltas to HTML and Markdown, the Quill attributes supported are listed in the table below, the goal is to eventually support every Quill feature.

Quill is a modern WYSIWYG editor built for compatibility and extensibility.

Planned features

If you check the table below you will note that I don't support all of Quills features, that is definitely the plan, however, before I add support for new attributes I want to add a major new feature.

Plugins

I'm planning to add support for plugins, all the existing features will become plugins, therefore, based on your particular needs you will be able to disable plugins/deltas you don't need, in addition, this will allow me to add support for third-party plugins.

Plugin support, will, of course, be a breaking change so once I have resolved all the known bugs and completed my planned refactoring I will start work on plugins in the v4 branch.

I will continue to support v3 after the eventual release of v4, some features may be back-ported, it very much depends on the particular feature.

Installation

The easiest way to use the PHP Quill Renderer is via composer. composer require deanblackborough/php-quill-renderer, alternatively you can include the classes in my src/ directory directly in your library or app.

Usage

Via API, single $quill_json

try {
    $quill = new \DBlackborough\Quill\Render($quill_json);
    $result = $quill->render();
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

echo $result;

Via API, multiple $quill_json, passed in via array

try {
    $quill = new RenderMultiple($quill_json, 'HTML');
    
    $result_one = $quill->render('one');
    $result_two = $quill->render('two');
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

echo $result_one;
echo $result_two;

Direct, parse and then render, single $quill_json - updated in v3.10.0

$parser = new \DBlackborough\Quill\Parser\Html();
$renderer = new \DBlackborough\Quill\Renderer\Html();

$parser->load($quill_json)->parse();

echo $renderer->load($parser->deltas())->render();

Direct, parse and then render, multiple $quill_json - updated in v3.10.0

$parser = new \DBlackborough\Quill\Parser\Html();
$renderer = new \DBlackborough\Quill\Renderer\Html();

$parser->loadMultiple(['one'=> $quill_json_1, 'two' => $quill_json_2)->parseMultiple();

echo $renderer->load($parser->deltasByIndex('one'))->render();
echo $renderer->load($parser->deltasByIndex('two'))->render();
