Rich text editing in React applications is challenging because traditional approaches using contentEditable and raw HTML conflict with React's state-driven model. A structured, schema-driven approach treats rich text as data rather than markup, providing better control and maintainability. This tutorial demonstrates building a rich text editor using Puck (built on TipTap), covering setup, inline editing, customizing formatting options and toolbar controls, restricting heading levels, and extending functionality through custom extensions like superscript. The configuration-driven approach separates editor capabilities from UI, enabling safe customization without modifying core logic.

Building a Rich Text Editor in React

<p>Nice breakdown. Treating rich text as structured data instead of raw HTML makes things much easier to control in React. I have struggled with contentEditable before, so this schema-driven approach feels much more maintainable long term.</p>
