Installation
composer require caiquebispo/quill-editor
In your main layout file (for example, resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php), include:
<head> ... @stack('styles') </head> <body> ... @stack('scripts') </body>
Publishing assets and configuration
For publishing the configuration and assets, run the following commands:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="CaiqueBispo\QuillEditor\Provider\QuillEditorServiceProvider" --tag=config php artisan vendor:publish --provider="CaiqueBispo\QuillEditor\Provider\QuillEditorServiceProvider" --tag=assets
This will create the config/quill.php file and copy the necessary assets to your public directory.
Configuration Options
The published configuration file (config/quill.php) includes the following options:
return [ // Theme: 'snow' or 'bubble' 'theme' => 'snow', // Placeholder text 'placeholder' => 'Digite seu texto aqui...', // Editor dimensions 'height' => '300px', 'width' => '100%', // Read-only mode 'readOnly' => false, // Mobile-specific configurations 'mobile' => [ 'simplifyToolbar' => true, 'height' => '200px', ], // Quill.js modules configuration 'modules' => [...], // Allowed formats 'formats' => [...], ];
New Features Configuration
📊 Character Counter
Display a real-time character count with optional limit:
<livewire:quill-editor :content="$content" :config="[ 'showCharacterCount' => true, // Enable counter 'characterLimit' => 500, // Optional: set max characters (null = no limit) ]" />
When the limit is exceeded, the counter turns red to alert the user.
💾 Auto-save (Draft)
Automatically save content to localStorage at regular intervals:
<livewire:quill-editor :content="$content" :config="[ 'autoSave' => [ 'enabled' => true, // Enable auto-save 'interval' => 30000, // Save every 30 seconds (in ms) 'showIndicator' => true, // Show "Saved" indicator 'key' => 'my-custom-key', // Optional: custom localStorage key ], ]" />
Programmatic Draft Control:
// In your Livewire component public function restoreDraft(): void { $this->dispatch('restoreDraft'); } public function clearDraft(): void { $this->dispatch('clearDraft'); }
⛶ Full-screen Mode
Enable a full-screen button to expand the editor:
<livewire:quill-editor :content="$content" :config="[ 'fullScreen' => [ 'enabled' => true, ], ]" />
- Click the ⛶ button (top-right) to enter full-screen
- Press ESC to exit full-screen mode
🖼️ Image Upload
Enable direct image uploads with Livewire file handling:
<livewire:quill-editor :content="$content" :config="[ 'imageUpload' => [ 'enabled' => true, 'maxSize' => 2048, // Max size in KB (2MB) 'acceptedFormats' => ['jpeg', 'jpg', 'png', 'gif', 'webp'], 'disk' => 'public', // Storage disk 'path' => 'quill-images', // Storage path ], ]" />
Requirements:
- Run
php artisan storage:linkto create the public storage symlink - Ensure your storage disk is properly configured
How it works:
- Click the image button 🖼️ in the toolbar
- Select an image from your computer
- The image is uploaded via Livewire and inserted into the editor
📐 Image Resize
When Image Upload is enabled, images can be resized interactively:
How to use:
- Click on any image in the editor to select it
- Use the corner handles to drag and resize (maintains aspect ratio)
- Use the preset buttons (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) for quick sizing
- Click outside the image to deselect
Complete Example (All Features)
<livewire:quill-editor :content="$content" :config="[ 'height' => '400px', 'placeholder' => 'Start writing...', // Character Counter 'showCharacterCount' => true, 'characterLimit' => 1000, // Auto-save 'autoSave' => [ 'enabled' => true, 'interval' => 15000, 'showIndicator' => true, ], // Full-screen 'fullScreen' => [ 'enabled' => true, ], // Image Upload + Resize 'imageUpload' => [ 'enabled' => true, 'maxSize' => 2048, 'acceptedFormats' => ['jpeg', 'jpg', 'png', 'gif', 'webp'], ], ]" />

Programmatic Control
// In your Livewire component public function clearEditor(): void { $this->dispatch('clearEditor'); } public function focusEditor(): void { $this->dispatch('focusEditor'); } public function toggleEditor(bool $disabled = true): void { $this->dispatch('toggleEditor', disabled: $disabled); } public function selectAllEditor(): void { $this->dispatch('selectAllEditor'); }
Content Methods
// Access the editor component directly $editor = $this->getChild('quill-editor'); // Get plain text (without HTML tags) $plainText = $editor->getPlainText(); // Get word count $wordCount = $editor->getWordCount(); // Check if editor is empty $isEmpty = $editor->isEmpty(); // Set content programmatically $editor->setContent('<p>New content here</p>');
Events
The component dispatches the following events:
quillUpdated
Fired when the editor content changes:
#[On('quillUpdated')] public function handleContentUpdate(string $content, string $editorId): void { // Handle the updated content $this->content = $content; }
Advanced Usage
Custom Toolbar Configuration
<livewire:quill-editor :content="$content" :config="[ 'modules' => [ 'toolbar' => [ [['size' => ['small', false, 'large', 'huge']]], [['header' => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, false]]], ['bold', 'italic', 'underline', 'strike'], [['color' => []], ['background' => []]], [['script' => 'sub'], ['script' => 'super']], [['header' => 1], ['header' => 2], 'blockquote', 'code-block'], [['list' => 'ordered'], ['list' => 'bullet'], ['indent' => '-1'], ['indent' => '+1']], [['direction' => 'rtl'], ['align' => []]], ['link', 'image', 'video', 'formula'], ['clean'] ] ] ]" />
