AlloyEditor is a modern WYSIWYG rich-text editor built on top of CKEditor with a completely rewritten, context-aware UI built in React. It separates the editing core from the UI layer, allowing custom buttons, toolbars, and even entirely different UI frameworks while reusing CKEditor plugins.

Use cases

• embed a wysiwyg editor in a web app
• let users edit rich text content in the browser
• add a modern-looking content editor to a cms
• paste images from clipboard or drag and drop into an editor
• customize editor toolbars and buttons
• reuse existing ckeditor plugins with a modern ui

When to choose

• you want CKEditor's editing power with a modern, minimal UI
• you need a React-based editor UI with customizable toolbars and buttons
• you want to reuse existing CKEditor plugins
• you need image pasting, drag-and-drop, and camera capture in an editor

When to avoid

• you need a fully headless or plain-text editor
• you require support for modern browsers beyond IE11-era compatibility targets
• you want an actively developed project with frequent updates
• you prefer a non-CKEditor editing engine
