Rich text editing with DraftJS Plugins

Earlier this year Facebook open sourced its React based rich text editing framework Draft.js. At Facebook it powers status updates, comments & notes. Others used it to build editors matching Medium’s experience.

Together with a whole team of open source contributors I built a plugin architecture on top of Draft.js. In this talk I walk you through the existing plugins and show how you can build your own feature-rich text editor for the web with only a handful lines of code. 🤓

Publishing an NPM package

Here's what I do when I publish an NPM package.

1: Make sure you're up to date

I always like to check what's going on in a repo before I do anything:

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	# This bash script synchronises dotfiles by exporting each file specified
	# in the `dotfiles` array from the `$FROM` directory path to the `$TO`
	# directory path.
	# If a specified file cannot be found, `cp` will log a path error and
	# continue onto the next file.
	#
	# NOTE
	# You can make this script executable by setting the following:

	var {authDiscardToken} = require('./actions');
	var request = require('superagent');
	var API_ROOT = 'http://localhost/api';

	/*
	This below is the format the middleware accepts.

	{
	types: [ACT_LOGIN_PENDING, ACT_LOGIN_SUCCESS, ACT_LOGIN_ERROR],
	url: '/auth/login',
