Migrate to CKEditor 5 for Drupal 9.4+ / Drupal 10

Created on 17 November 2022, almost 2 years ago
Updated 10 July 2023, over 1 year ago

Problem/Motivation

CKEditor 5 was added to core in 9.3. This is going to be the new WYSIWYG editor in D10 and CKEditor 4 is being removed. Because CKEditor 5 was a ground-up rewrite all plugins must also be rewritten.

Proposed resolution

Create a new CKEditor5 plugin that will achieve the same functionality as the current module does with CKEditor 4.

    I have Drupal 10 installed. When migrating it from one domain to another, the CKeditor stopped working. How can I repair it?

    Giving this a test using the plain diff as a patch. In Drupal 9.5.9 with CKeditor5 enabled the Special Chars does not appear in the plugins area of the Text Format configuration as it does with CKeditor4.

    I may be missing something in the implementation, and there may not yet be enough mods for it to work, but I thought you'd appreciate the feedback.

    Just researching the more accurate way to upgrade it as special characters are now included in the core so only modification part is required:

    1. Create JS file with behaviour, get all instances of CKEditor and loop through them by applying newly defined special characters and insert it via ckeditor_specialchars_library_info_alter().
    2. OR create CKEditor JS plugin as specified in CK documentation and then insert it to existing specialCharacters plugin via ckeditor_specialchars_ckeditor5_plugin_info_alter(). Another issue with the second solution is that current webpack config gives cannot parse CSS error.
