@quilljs editor component for @vuejs(2)
A thin Vue 2 wrapper around the Quill rich text editor. The author has marked it deprecated and explicitly recommends migrating to tiptap, since the underlying Quill project stalled at v1.3.7 and went years without a release.
- Dead simple API — v-model binding and a single options object, nothing surprising
- The wrapper itself is tiny (one .vue file, one index.js), so you can read the whole thing in five minutes
- Honest README: the author called it deprecated and pointed you to the exit rather than pretending everything is fine
- Quill v1.3.7 is the last release and is effectively abandoned — you inherit years of unfixed bugs, including known XSS issues when pasting HTML
- Vue 2 only, and Vue 2 itself hit end-of-life in December 2023, so you're stacking two dead dependencies
- The wrapper adds almost nothing on top of Quill — you could replace it with five lines of lifecycle hooks and drop the dependency entirely
- SSR support is a known pain point (the README links to workarounds rather than solving it) and hasn't improved since
