Usage

To add quill-autoformat to your Quill, simply add the javascript after quill or import it in your project. Use the provided quill-formats or define your own parchments.

<body>
  ...
  <form action="#" method="get">
    <div id="editor-container"></div>
  </form>
  ...
  <script src="/path/to/quill.min.js"></script> 
  <script src="/path/to/quill-autoformat.js"></script> 
  <script>
    var editor = new Quill('#editor-container', {
      modules: {
        autoformat: true
      }
    });
  </script> 
  ...
</body>

Transforms

You can specify as many transforms as you like, just give each transform a unique name. Three transforms are enabled by default; hashtag, mention and link. Just set the default types to false to disable them or change any property you like to a custom value.

Each transform may have the following properties:

transform: {
   trigger:     RegExp, // RegExp for matching text input characters to trigger the match. Defaults to /./ which is matching any character
   find:        RegExp, // Global RegExp to search for in the text
   extract:     RegExp, // Additional RegExp to finetune and override the found text match
   transform:   String || Function, // String or function passed to String.replace() to rewrite find/extract results
   insert:      String || {...}, // Insert name string or embed insert object.
   format:      String || {...} // Format name string or attributes object.
 }
