Lexxy

A modern rich text editor for Rails.

This is an early beta. It hasn’t been battle-tested yet. Please try it out and report any issues you find.

Features

  • Built on top of Lexical, the powerful text editor framework from Meta.
  • Good HTML semantics. Paragraphs are real <p> tags, as they should be.
  • Markdown support: shortcuts, auto-formatting on paste.
  • Real-time code syntax highlighting.
  • Create links by pasting URLs on selected text.
  • Configurable prompts. Support for mentions and other interactive prompts with multiple loading and filtering strategies.
  • Preview attachments like PDFs and Videos in the editor.
  • Works seamlessly with Action Text, generating the same canonical HTML format it expects for attachments.
