Updated

Features

Clicking on tables in quill editor will initialize the tools for table, all features are based on it.

Requirements

quilljs v2.0.0-dev.3

Since I use webpack externals to bundle, you must expose Quill to window object, like load quill.js by script tag globally. Or you may need to fork this repo and build what you need.

Installation

npm install quill-better-table

Usage

Load quill and style dependencies

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/quill/2.0.0-dev.3/quill.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/quill/2.0.0-dev.3/quill.snow.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

let module = quill.getModule('better-table')

module.getTable(range = quill.getSelection())

get an array with TableContainer, TableRow, TableCell, offset through the given range.

module.getTable()  // current selection
module.getTable(range)
// [TableContainer, TableRow, TableCell, 0]

module.insertTable(rows: Number, columns: Number)

        items: {
          unmergeCells: {
            text: 'Another unmerge cells name'
          }
        },
        color: {
          colors: ['#fff', 'red', 'rgb(0, 0, 0)'],  // colors in operationMenu
          text: 'Background Colors'  // subtitle
        } 
      }
    },
    keyboard: {
      bindings: QuillBetterTable.keyboardBindings
    }
  }
})

operationMenu

OperationMenu configures the operation list in right-click menu.

operationMenu.items

operationMenu show all operations as default. false will remove the operation.

{
  operationKey: {
    text: 'foo'
  },

  operationKey: false
}

You may need to modify the menu text, operationKey.text will do that.

operationMenu.color

Background colors is optional, the default is hidden. If you need this feature, use this configure.

{
  colors: ['#fff', 'red', 'rgb(0, 0, 0)'],  // colors you need in operationMenu, ['white', 'red', 'yellow', 'blue'] as default
