One of the most useful features of React Quill is its ability to handle complex text formatting and styling, including inline text formatting, block-level styles, lists, and more.

The Shell-Bash theme in React Quill is a pre-made theme that allows you to customize the look and feel of the editor with ease. It features a clean, minimal design that is perfect for modern web applications.

Getting Started

To get started with React Quill and the Shell-Bash theme, you will need to install the package using npm:

npm install react-quill shell-bash

Once installed, you can import the Shell-Bash theme and apply it to your React Quill component:

import ReactQuill from 'react-quill';
import 'react-quill/dist/quill.snow.css';
import { Quill } from 'react-quill';
import { ShellBash } from 'react-quill/themes/shell-bash';

Quill.register('themes/shell-bash', ShellBash);

const App = () => {
  const [value, setValue] = useState('');

  return (
    <ReactQuill
      theme="shell-bash"
      value={value}
      onChange={setValue}
    />
  );
};

Customization

The Shell-Bash theme in React Quill is highly customizable. You can use CSS to modify the appearance of the editor, or you can modify the theme directly using JavaScript. Here are a few examples of how you can customize the Shell-Bash theme:

Changing the Font

You can change the font used in the editor by modifying the font-family property in CSS:

.ql-shell-bash {
  font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
}

Changing the Colors

You can change the color scheme of the editor by modifying the CSS selectors for each part of the editor. Here is an example of how to change the background color of the editor:

.ql-shell-bash {
  background-color: #f2f2f2;
}

Adding Custom Styles

You can add custom styles to the editor by adding new CSS rules to the theme. For example, you can add a new style for a custom button:

.ql-shell-bash .ql-my-button {
  background-color: #333;
  color: #fff;
  border-radius: 4px;
}

Then, you can add the new button to the toolbar of the editor:

<ReactQuill
  theme="shell-bash"
  modules={{
    toolbar: {
      container: [
        [{ 'header': [1, 2, 3, false] }],
        ['bold', 'italic', 'underline', 'strike'],
        ['link', 'image'],
        [{ 'list': 'ordered' }, { 'list': 'bullet' }],
        ['clean'],
        ['my-button'], // Add custom button to toolbar
      ],
    },
  }}
  value={value}
  onChange={setValue}
/>
