Roadmap & Future Of Library

[makhnatkin]

Description

This is a roadmap for development. It can be changed. You can write your ideas in the comments.

Upcoming

• Wysiwyg: split node/mark addition into separate methods in extension builder #636
• Wysiwyg: Ability to extends previously defined nodes in extensions #598

Base

• Keep only basic markdown-it functionality (default preset); move YFM and other additional extensions to a separate package(s) (probably, in v16)
• Redesign editor extensions system: add the ability to customize both modes (wysiwyg and markup), toolbar, and other places in the editor
• Design a unified editor store/context for sharing data between editor modules.
• Improve the folder structure to fully separate WYSIWYG and markup.
• Implement editor rendering in different modes (e.g., render only WYSIWYG within the provider (like in uikit tabs) if needed).

Deps

• Find a way to minimize ProsMirror and CodeMirror package duplication or implement a duplication alert mechanism.
• Manage growing peer dependencies by bundling them (creating a separate package).

Tests

• Add visual tests and scripts
• Add behavioral tests

Discuss

• Should we use monorepo for editor packages (use Lerna for pack vs release-please)?
  Answer: yes, pnpm+nx for monorepo, release-please for release flow
  Monorepo is already in use
