Editorjs plugin for adding comment.

editorjs-comment plugin is design to allow developers to create custom component of there comment and pass it through config, it allows to create any comment section they want for editorjs

Features

• support typescript
• using with HTML project
• using react (JSX.Element)
• other coming soon.

Limitation

For React component, Hooks will not work since is render outside of the component, a work around is using preact signal https://preactjs.com/guide/v10/signals/

 import { signal } from "@preact-signals/safe-react";
import { withTrackSignals } from "@preact-signals/safe-react/manual";

check the example for usage

Installation

Install via NPM

npm install editorjs-comment

Load from CDN

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/editorjs-comment@latest"></script>

Usage

import Comment from 'editorjs-comment';

ediotrjs Comment must be used with the config. A function that returns a JSX.Element or HTML file must be passed to the config file CommentConfig. See the config interface.

##important interfaces

export interface RenderBody {
  commentBlockId: string | null;
  blockId: string | null;
  onClose: () => void;
  addCommentBlockData: (data: CommentBlockData) => void;
  removeBlockComments: () => void;
}

export interface CommentConfig {
  markerColor?: string;
  activeColor?: string;
  editorjsId?: string;
  renderBody: ({
    commentBlockId,
    blockId,
    addCommentBlockData,
    onClose,
    removeBlockComments,
  }: RenderBody) => HTMLElement | any //JSX.Element;
}

Usage example

const EDITOR_JS_TOOL = {

  ....
  comment: {
    class: Comment,
    inlineToolbar: true,

    config: {
      markerColor: "",
      activeColor: "pink",
      renderBody: ({
        commentBlockId,
        blockId,
        onClose,
        addCommentBlockData,
      }: {
        commentBlockId: string;
        blockId: string;
        onClose: () => void;
        addCommentBlockData: (data: any) => void;
      }) => {
        return RenderItem({
          onClose,
          blockId,
          commentId: commentBlockId,
          setCommentBlockData: addCommentBlockData,
        });
      },
    },
  },
}

RenderBody function

The renderBody is a function which is a required parameter by the config. The function must accept the RenderBody interface as shown below

export interface RenderBody {
  commentBlockId: string | null;
  blockId: string | null;
  onClose: () => void;
  addCommentBlockData: (data: CommentBlockData) => void;
  removeBlockComments: () => void;
}

parameter

This parameters will be pass to the function were the developer can access then an use it.

| Field | Type | required |Description | | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | | commentBlockId | String| true | This is a unique string(id) that represent the section of the highlighted text that you want to add a comment. The developer is responsible for creating this id the first time an comment is created. For existing comment, this value will the pass to the renderBody function where developer can use this to get the comments for this comment section | |blockId| string |true| This is the blockId from Editorjs block of where the comment is made. Is upto the developer if they need |onClose | Func| true| Function use to manually close the opened comment section | |addCommentBlockData| Func|true |this function will initialize comment section to the corresponding BlockData to the highlighted area when is called, it is recommended to be called first comment of any selected area is made. |removeBlockComments |Func| true| This function should be called with caution, it will remove the comment section from the editorjs permanently.

config parameter is CommentConfig

CommentConfig is the interface that is passed to the config option. only renderBody is required.

example using react and preact/signal

//import { signal, computed, useSignal } from "@preact/signals";
import { signal } from "@preact-signals/safe-react";
import { withTrackSignals } from "@preact-signals/safe-react/manual";
import { CommentBlockData, RenderBody } from "editorjs-comment";

interface Comment {
  commentBlockId: string;
  blockId: string;
  content: string
  //... your custom fields

}
const comments = signal<Comment[]>([]);

const commentSignal = signal<Comment>(Object());

const RenderItem = ({
  commentBlockId,
  blockId,
  onClose,
  addCommentBlockData,
}: RenderBody) => {
  commentSignal.value = {
    ...Object(),
    commentBlockId,
    blockId,
  };

  const data = (value: string) => {
    commentSignal.value = { ...commentSignal.value, content: value };
  };

  //save comment to DB
  const saveComment = () => {
    

    addContractCommentApi({
      ...commentSignal.value,
    
    }).then((respo) => {
      if (respo.length > 0) {
        const data = {
          id: respo[0].commentBlockId,
          count: respo.length,
        };

        // if the data is save to the database  then call the setCommentBlockData method 
        // for every new comment section this should be call, it will highlight the selected section with marker and also add the required data to the block.
        // this can be called only once for a new comment section
        if (addCommentBlockData) {
          addCommentBlockData(data);
        }
        comments.value = respo;
      }
    });
  };

  //The commentBlockId for the current  comment section is available  to be use to query the db, depending on your logic
  const getComments = () => {

      comments.value = [];
      return;
    }
    getContractCommentByIdApi(commentBlockId)
