Enhancement of quill table module
<caption> <th> <thead> <tfoot> supportnpm install quill-table-up
the registe module name is used internal. so if you want to change it, place use the function
updateTableConstants
import Quill from 'quill';
import TableUp, { defaultCustomSelect, TableAlign, TableMenuContextmenu, TableResizeBox, TableResizeScale, TableSelection, TableVirtualScrollbar } from 'quill-table-up';
import 'quill/dist/quill.snow.css';
import 'quill-table-up/index.css';
// If using the default customSelect option. You need to import this css
import 'quill-table-up/table-creator.css';
Quill.register({ [`modules/${TableUp.moduleName}`]: TableUp }, true);
// or
// Quill.register({ 'modules/table-up': TableUp }, true);
const quill = new Quill('#editor', {
// ...
modules: {
// ...
toolbar: [
// ...
[ // use picker to enable the customSelect option

I'm not suggest to use
TableVirtualScrollbarandTableResizeLineat same time, because it have a little conflict when user hover on it. Just like the first editor in demo
If you doesn't use
TableVirtualScrollbar, you may need to set css.ql-editor .ql-table-wrapper { scrollbar-width: auto; }to display the browser origin scrollbar.
const defaultTexts = {
fullCheckboxText: 'Insert full width table',

colText: 'Column',
notPositiveNumberError: 'Please enter a positive integer',

texts Dynamic UsageYou can pass texts as a function.
When internal UI reads a text, it will call texts(key) and use the returned string.
let locale: 'en' | 'zh' = 'en';
const textMap = {
en: {
customBtnText: 'Custom',
confirmText: 'Confirm',
cancelText: 'Cancel',
},
zh: {
customBtnText: '自定义',
confirmText: '确认',
cancelText: '取消',
},
} as const;
const quill = new Quill('#editor', {
modules: {
[TableUp.moduleName]: {
customSelect: defaultCustomSelect,
customBtn: true,
texts: key => textMap[locale][key as keyof typeof textMap.en] || '',
modules: [
{ module: TableSelection },
{ module: TableMenuContextmenu },
],
},
},
});
// switch language
locale = 'zh';
await quill.getModule(TableUp.moduleName).refreshUI();
refreshUI() will rebuild table-up UI and read latest text values.

The table alignment tool
The table virtual scrollbar
In version 3.x, only changed the way options are passed in, the relevant additional modules are used in the modules option. e.g.
new Quill('#editor', {
theme: 'snow',
modules: {
toolbar: toolbarConfig,
[TableUp.moduleName]: {
customSelect: defaultCustomSelect,
customBtn: true,
modules: [
{ module: TableVirtualScrollbar },
{ module: TableAlign },
{ module: TableResizeLine },
{ module: TableResizeScale, options: { blockSize: 12, }, },
{ module: TableSelection, options: { selectColor: '#00ff8b4d', }, },
{
module: TableMenuContextmenu,
options: {
localstorageKey: 'used-color',
tipText: true,
tools: [],
defaultColorMap: [],
},
},
],
},
},
});
You can use quill.getModule(TableUp.moduleName).getModule(TableSelection.moduleName) to get the TableSelection instance in the TableUp
tag and wrap-tag in table-up-cell-inner which to represent parent label typesIf you need to rewrite extends from quill Block or Scroll blot. you need to use Quill.import() after TableUp registed. beacuse module internal rewrite some functions, but those change only effect formats about table.
Header, List', Blockquote and CodeBlock have been overrides. If you need to rewrite them, you need to rewrite them before TableUp registed.
Please read source code to know those change.
import { BlockOverride, ScrollOverride, } from 'quill-table-up';
class ScrollBlot extends ScrollOverride {
// ...
}
If it's not necessary, you should import constants variable from quill-table-up directly but not edit it.
import { blotName, tableUpEvent, tableUpInternal, tableUpSize, } from 'quill-table-up';
You can change internal constants variable by importing updateTableConstants from quill-table-up and call it before TableUp registed.
It helps to migrate from other table modules with the same data structure.
If you change the TableWrapperFormat blot name, you also need to add new css style to make toolbar icon have correct style.
/* change 'table-up' to your new blot name */
.ql-toolbar .ql-picker:not(.ql-color-picker):not(.ql-icon-picker).ql-table-up {
width: 28px;
}
.ql-toolbar .ql-picker:not(.ql-color-picker):not(.ql-icon-picker).ql-table-up .ql-picker-label {
padding: 2px 4px;
}
.ql-toolbar .ql-picker:not(.ql-color-picker):not(.ql-icon-picker).ql-table-up .ql-picker-label svg {
position: static;
margin-top: 0;
}
