Slate: Proposal for rendering read-only Slate

[thesunny]

Do you want to request a _feature_ or report a _bug_?

Feature

What's the current behavior?

There is no way to render a lite read-only version of a Slate editor

What's the expected behavior?

The desired behavior is to have something like this:

https://github.com/roast-cms/french-press-editor/blob/develop/src/components/vignettes/Reader.js

Either add to Editor or Docs.

Isn’t this read-only?

This was a proposal from somebody in the Slack channel I believe. I posted on somebody's behalf.

The proposal is for a lite read-only version. That is, without, all the other Editor related code. The idea was for the use case where a user publishes pages and they still need the renderer but they don't want all the Slate editing code to have to load in.

Hey Ryan, it does the same thing but only takes up 3.35 KB of uncompressed, unformatted code - much less if you optimize it.

Oh wow, much better. Thanks for letting me know!

Now that Slate's data model is pure JSON, this should be easier for folks to reason about. They can render the JSON to React components however they'd like, using a recursive rendering technique.
