Editor

Editor is rich text editor component based on Quill.


import Editor from 'primevue/editor';

Editor uses Quill editor underneath so it needs to be installed as a dependency.


npm install quill

Editor is used with the v-model property for two-way value binding.


<Editor v-model="value" editorStyle="height: 320px" />

Editor integrates seamlessly with the PrimeVue Forms library.


<Form v-slot="$form" :resolver="resolver" :initialValues="initialValues" @submit="onFormSubmit" class="flex flex-col gap-4">
    <div class="flex flex-col gap-1">
        <Editor name="content" editorStyle="height: 320px" />
        <Message v-if="$form.content?.invalid" severity="error" size="small" variant="simple">{{ $form.content.error?.message }}</Message>
    </div>
    <Button type="submit" severity="secondary" label="Submit" />
</Form>

When readonly is present, the value cannot be edited.


<Editor v-model="value" editorStyle="height: 320px" readonly />

Editor provides a default toolbar with common options, to customize it define your elements inside the header element. Refer to Quill documentation for available controls.


<Editor v-model="value" editorStyle="height: 320px">
    <template v-slot:toolbar>
        <span class="ql-formats">
            <button v-tooltip.bottom="'Bold'" class="ql-bold"></button>
            <button v-tooltip.bottom="'Italic'" class="ql-italic"></button>
            <button v-tooltip.bottom="'Underline'" class="ql-underline"></button>
        </span>
    </template>
</Editor>

Screen Reader

Quill performs generally well in terms of accessibility. The elements in the toolbar can be tabbed and have the necessary ARIA roles/attributes for screen readers. One known limitation is the lack of arrow key support for dropdowns in the toolbar that may be overcome with a custom toolbar.
