Slate is a low-level editor framework that helps you deal with difficult parts when building an editor, such as events handlers, elements, formatting, commands, rendering, serializing, normalizing, etc.
While you are trying to build your own editors, it still needs a lot of skills to make something similar to Quill or ProseMirror. This repository allows you to build your editor right away with minimal slate knowledge.
@udecode/plate is built on top of slate to handle plugins and state
management for an optimal development experience. This repository comes
with a lot of plugins as elements, marks, serializers, normalizers,
queries, transforms, components and so on.
- 🏎 Simple Start
You only need one component to get started:
<Plate>
- 🐻 State Management
zustand store is internally used to support multiple editor states.
- 💅 Design System
The API is design system friendly. We provide a default design system for quick start but you can plug-in your own one using a single function.
- 🔌 40+ Packages
We enforce separation of concerns by packaging each feature for build optimization and versioning.
- 🛠 Extensible
All plugins accept extensible options and if you need to fork a plugin, all its functions are exported.
- 📦 Tree-shaking / ES modules
- ✅ TypeScript types
- ✅ Unit tested with

The documentation is far from being complete and will be constantly evolving (as will the packages).
Discussions is the best place for bringing opinions and contributions. Letting us know if we're going in the right or wrong direction is great feedback and will be much appreciated!
Plate is a modular, multi-package, monorepo project. It consists of a core package that creates the plugin system, based on which the plugin packages are implemented.

This repo has been renamed to plate. The name change should not
disrupt any current usage, repo clones, pull requests or issue

formerly known as @udecode/slate-plugins is now available as
@udecode/plate.
@zbeyens: I'm building an app with an editor like many of you and my first initiative was to spend months to share this work, while hundreds of developers were coding and debugging the exact same features. Open-source is a long-term investment for a bug-free product and reducing technical debt, so I can only encourage you to join this collaboration. Our goal is to build a fully-featured editor.
🌟 Stars and 📥 Pull requests are welcome! Don't hesitate to share your plugins here. Read our contributing guide to get started, or find us on Slack, we will take the time to guide you.
Thanks goes to these wonderful people (emoji key):
This project follows the all-contributors specification. Contributions of any kind welcome!
