The structural blocks a document needs beyond paragraphs and lists: callouts, toggles, columns, cards, timelines, tabs, accordions, footnotes and citations.

npm install @trevixal/extension-blocks
Copy

Usage

Merge the nodes into your schema:

new Schema({ nodes: { ...defaultNodes(), ...blockNodes() }, marks: defaultMarks() })
Copy

import { blockKeymap, blockBindings, insertCallout, insertColumns } from '@trevixal/extension-blocks'

const editor = createEditor({ schema, element, keymap: blockKeymap() })
blockBindings(editor) // click handling for toggles, tabs and accordions

editor.exec(insertCallout('warning'))
editor.exec(insertColumns(3))
Copy

The blocks

Getting out of a container

blockKeymap() supplies the two gestures every nested block needs. Enter on an empty trailing paragraph inside a container leaves it, without that, a callout at the end of the document traps the cursor, because every Enter makes another paragraph inside it. Enter on a toggle summary, tab title or accordion title moves into the body rather than splitting the title.

Tabs and accordions in an export

An accordion is a native <details>, so it keeps working in a saved file because the browser owns it. A tab strip is laid out from a data-active attribute that only the editor moves, so @trevixal/ui inlines a small script into exports to make the titles work there too. Before adding an interactive block, decide what it does in an export, and add the print rule, or the PDF quietly loses whatever is not on top.
