Quill: Placeholder

Similar to

<input type="text" placeholder="Type here">

This seems very simple so there is definitely a chance I'm just missing it in the docs.

The beta release has a placeholder configuration option.

Should definitely be a "module" IMO. Probably not too hard to implement off of the top of my head:

  1. Upon instantiation, insert a placeholder <div> with your placeholder text content inside. Quill#addContainer() would work well for this.
  2. Listen for the "text-change" event in order to remove the placeholder <div> once there's some text content in the editor (container.parentNode.removeChild(container)).

is anyone working on this? would like to give this a shot

@vegetableman please do :)

@TooTallNate Have sent a pull request for the same. Took the quora editor approach. Instead of adding and destroying the placeholder node, a 'placeholder-container' class is toggled on the editor-container. And the class has a pseudo-selector with content as the placeholder text.

Any progress with that?

Would be a nice feature to have.

I wrote a module for this, but it's not the best.

If you wanted to collaborate, I'd be more than happy to review PRs (or
setup time to talk about how to improve it)!

The repo is called "quill-placeholder" bc I am uncreative with names.
