Taming Content Editable with Ember.js
[email protected]
You built your own content editor?!
3 We have lots of places where our users can
write messages

8 We need precise control of how our users write
their messages.
9 We want to make it easy to create rich
and beautiful messages
So yeah, we built our own content editor
What is content editable and why it is terrible
12
13
14 Behind this simple property lies deep wells of despair
What happens next? <div contenteditable> d| </div>
What happens next? Chrome d| d <div>|</div> becomes
What happens next? d| d <div>|</div> becomes Safari
What happens next? d| d <p>|</p> becomes IE11
What happens next? Firefox d| d <br>| <br type=“_moz”> becomes
None
contenteditable • What about backspace? • <p> has a line-height
of 1.5em Chrome becomes <p contenteditable> d|d </p> <p contenteditable> d|<span style="line-height: 1.5em;”>d</span> </p>

27 Don’t try to build a HTML editor, try to
build a block editor
None
29 Use the good bits over-ride the rest.
30 Hide as much complexity as we can behind an
API
