The BlockSuite v0.11.0 release is now available! With 317 PRs landed and 6 new contributors, this version marks a milestone in our journey: evolving from a proprietary editor to a general-purpose editing framework.
BlockSuite originated as an editor designed to meet the needs of the AFFiNE knowledge base, which is why, for a long time, it provided a default
EditorContainerthat included both document editing and whiteboard functionalities. Early updates also focused heavily on specific features for AFFiNE products.However, during the development of BlockSuite, we've built a range of front-end infrastructures from the ground up, spanning from rich text editing to whiteboard rendering. This version introduces extensive engineering refactoring and modular layering, resulting in the birth of a new, universal editing framework.
Traditionally, developing a stable rich text editor could take years of challenging work. But the evolution of BlockSuite has far outpaced this. We believe our work stems from embracing a new architectural pattern called document-centric, which simplifies the complex architecture of traditional editors by natively building the data layer in the editor with CRDT, thereby providing a more efficient development experience.
Key changes in BlockSuite 0.11.0 for developers include:
@blocksuite/presetspackage, which splits the independently usableDocEditorandEdgelessEditor, among others.Editor,Block,Fragment,Widget, and definitive guides on how they combine. The currentDocEditorandEdgelessEditorare based on this headless framework layer.The establishment of the framework layer is just the first step in BlockSuite's longer-term vision. The current stable framework layer modules and APIs are still akin to the more low-level, headless part of tools like ProseMirror. Plans are already in place for more out-of-the-box preset support. Stay tuned!
