The flutter_quill package uses the following plugins:

1. url_launcher to open links.
2. device_info_plus to view info about the current device.
3. flutter_keyboard_visibility to listen for keyboard visibility changes.

All of them don't require any platform-specific setup.

Instantiate a controller:

QuillController _controller = QuillController.basic();

Use the QuillEditor, and QuillSimpleToolbar widgets, and attach the QuillController to them:

QuillSimpleToolbar(
  controller: _controller,
  configurations: QuillSimpleToolbarConfigurations(),
),
Expanded(
  child: QuillEditor.basic(
    controller: _controller,
    configurations: const QuillEditorConfigurations(),
  ),
)

Dispose of the QuillController in the dispose method:

@override
void dispose() {
  _controller.dispose();
  super.dispose();
}

Starting from version 8.0.0 We have added Migration Guide for migration from different versions

This library uses Quill Delta to represent the document content. The Delta format is a compact and versatile way to describe document changes. It consists of a series of operations, each representing an insertion, deletion, or formatting change within the document.

Don’t be confused by its name Delta—Deltas represents both documents and changes to documents. If you think of Deltas as the instructions for going from one document to another, the way Deltas represents a document is by expressing the instructions starting from an empty document.

• Use _controller.document.toDelta() to extract the deltas.
• Use _controller.document.toPlainText() to extract plain text.

FlutterQuill provides some JSON serialization support so that you can save and open documents. To save a document as JSON, do something like the following:

final json = jsonEncode(_controller.document.toDelta().toJson());

You can then write this to storage.

To open a FlutterQuill editor with an existing JSON representation that you've previously stored, you can do something like this:

final json = jsonDecode(r'{"insert":"hello\n"}');

_controller.document = Document.fromJson(json);

As of version 6.0, embed blocks are not provided by default as part of this package.

Instead, this package provides an interface for all the users to provide their own implementations for embed blocks. Implementations for image, video, and formula embed blocks are proved in a separate package flutter_quill_extensions.

Provide a list of embed
