Recovering from GraphQL Summit San Fransisco. They vision a future where the whole 'data graph' is described with GraphQL and serving as layer to outside. Where multiple services can contribute to the graph, but front-end's and/or other clients just have one entry point to 'see' all the data.

https://youtu.be/kqh4lz2Lkzs — very nice talk on components, abstraction, DRY, duplication, repetition. Highly recommended.

dominicm10:11:57

That's great. She's talking about control coupling. Great way to talk about it.

dominicm10:11:38

She's covering so many pitfalls that annoy me in how people use react. That's great :) highly +++

gklijs10:11:12

Didn't see that one, but for the GraphQL way, it seems using Appolo in a similar way the db in re-frame is used is the way to go. And using hooks to update components. Where you get local cashing in local storage for 'free'. They probably have them nicely cut in a few days. https://youtu.be/AIMOkj1ohaU

Anyone know of any good front-end WYSIWYG editors, specifically for text processing/editing? I’m looking for something to use as a base but with great support for extension.

cjsauer15:11:51

ProseMirror looks quite nice

avi15:11:18

I’d never heard of it but it does indeed look quite nice and impressive!

mloughlin15:11:27

I've had some success with Quill https://quilljs.com, but tbh no WYSIWYG editor I've used are great

mloughlin15:11:37

it was easy enough to extend

orestis15:11:45

ProseMirror also has a react wrapper: https://github.com/ifiokjr/remirror -- I have my eye on it but haven't had a chance to use anything.

borkdude15:11:19

@U6GFE9HS7 I have used froala before and was pretty happy with it, it's not free though, but for a commercial project it's worth the money probably

gklijs16:11:38

@U6GFE9HS7 ckeditor is nice and has been included in open source products. But the licence is not really clear, https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-5/

cjsauer16:11:29

Thanks all, digging into these 🙏

plexus11:11:09

Nextjournal uses ProseMirror and we're quite happy with it. I know Pitch is using Quill.

orestis12:11:59

Oh thanks for the input on prosemirror. Are you using the advanced features to embed custom content and widgets and everything?

plexus13:11:59

Yes, very much so. I haven't been too involved in that but @U45J3R52L can probably tell you all about that.

orestis13:11:59

Would be very happy to know if you did your own wrapper or if you used a 3rd-party wrapper (React or not). Always a hard decision, the library specifically says that it’s supposed to be a WYSIWYG editor building toolkit, rather than something that’s ready to use out of the box.

plexus14:11:31

we use the prosemirror js api directly, our prosemirrot.cljs is about 900 lines on top of that. we also use the prosemirror OT server through Graal polyglot support

orestis15:11:01

OT: operational transform? Neat.

orestis15:11:51

900 lines of CLJS sounds reasonable — I’ll have to look now into NextJournal again 🙂

borkdude15:11:16

sounds very interesting, I'll look into ProseMirror next time I need something like this

jaide23:11:44

Saw that ClojureScript syntax support in the latest Firefox announcement. That's so awesome!

sogaiu23:11:51

it does sound good -- just hope it was done well 🙂

Filipe Silva23:11:08

~~what announcement is that? I'm not getting results for it on google~~ I see it now on #announcements
