Here’s how you can add the `vue3-quill` package to your Laravel Breeze and Vue.js project and create a Vue component that utilizes it.

—

### Step 1: Install `vue3-quill`
Run the following command to add the package to your project:

yarn add vue3-quill

—

### Step 2: Create a Vue Component

1. **Create the component file**
Navigate to the `resources/js/Components` folder (or your desired folder) and create a new file, e.g., `QuillEditor.vue`.

2. **Add the following code to the `QuillEditor.vue` file**:

<template>
  <div>
    <quill-editor
      v-model="content"
      :options="editorOptions"
    ></quill-editor>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import { defineComponent, ref } from "vue";
import { QuillEditor } from "vue3-quill";

export default defineComponent({
  name: "QuillEditor",
  components: {
    QuillEditor,
  },
  setup() {
    const content = ref("");
    const editorOptions = {
      theme: "snow",
      placeholder: "Start typing here...",
    };

    return {
      content,
      editorOptions,
    };
  },
});
</script>

<style>
/* Add Quill editor styles */
@import "quill/dist/quill.snow.css";
@import "quill/dist/quill.bubble.css";
@import "quill/dist/quill.core.css";
</style>

—

### Step 3: Register the Component

If you’re using Laravel Breeze with Inertia.js, include the component in one of your existing pages or layouts.

For example, in `resources/js/Pages/ExamplePage.vue`:

<template>
  <div>
    <h1>Quill Editor Example</h1>
    <QuillEditor />
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import QuillEditor from "@/Components/QuillEditor.vue";

export default {
  components: {
    QuillEditor,
  },
};
</script>

—

### Step 4: Test the Integration

1. Run your development server:

yarn run dev

2. Navigate to the page where you added the component. You should see the Quill editor loaded and ready to use.

like below

<script>
import { onMounted, ref } from 'vue';

const model = defineModel({
    type: String,
    required: true,
});

const input = ref(null);

onMounted(() => {
    if (input.value.hasAttribute('autofocus')) {
        input.value.focus();
    }
});

defineExpose({ focus: () => input.value.focus() });
</script>

Here's how to adapt your script to use `vue3-quill` in a `script setup` style component. This approach is concise and maintains the same `script setup` syntax.

—

### QuillEditor.vue

<script setup>
import { onMounted, ref } from 'vue';
import { QuillEditor } from 'vue3-quill';
import 'quill/dist/quill.snow.css'; // Quill's Snow theme CSS

// Define a model prop for binding
const model = defineModel({
    type: String,
    required: true,
});

// Local state for the editor's input
const editorRef = ref(null);

// Expose a method to focus the editor
defineExpose({
    focus: () => editorRef.value.focus(),
});

// Focus logic for autofocus
onMounted(() => {
    if (editorRef.value?.$el.hasAttribute('autofocus')) {
        editorRef.value.focus();
    }
});

// Quill editor options
const editorOptions = {
    theme: 'snow',
    placeholder: 'Start typing here...',
};
</script>

<template>
    <div>
        <quill-editor
            v-model="model"
            ref="editorRef"
            :options="editorOptions"
            class="rounded-md border-gray-300 shadow-sm focus:border-indigo-500 focus:ring-indigo-500"
        />
    </div>
</template>

—

### Usage Example
To use this component:

1. Add the following in your Vue page or parent component:

<template>
  <div>
    <h1>Quill Editor</h1>
    <QuillEditor v-model="content" />
    <button @click="focusEditor">Focus Editor</button>
  </div>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';
import QuillEditor from '@/Components/QuillEditor.vue';

const content = ref('');
const editorRef = ref(null);

const focusEditor = () => {
  editorRef.value?.focus();
};
</script>

—

### Key Features

1. **Props:** The `model` prop binds the parent value to the editor content.
2. **Focus Handling:** Automatically focuses the editor if `autofocus` is present.
3. **Expose Focus Method:** Use `ref` in the parent to call the `focus` method on the editor.

This setup gives you a robust and flexible `vue3-quill` integration in a `script setup` style. Let me know if you need further assistance!

editor.vue:6 Uncaught SyntaxError: The requested module '/node_modules/quill/dist/quill.js?v=24c719db' does not provide an export named 'default' (at editor.vue:6:8)Understand this errorAI
editor.vue:6 Uncaught (in promise) SyntaxError: The requested module '/node_modules/quill/dist/quill.js?v=24c719db' does not provide an export named 'default' (at editor.vue:6:8)

Assistant

This error occurs because the `quill` library does not provide a default export in its CommonJS or ES module builds, but it is being imported as if it does. This can happen if the `vue3-quill` package or your Vite configuration is attempting to import Quill incorrectly.

—

### Steps to Fix

#### 1. Update `vue3-quill`
Make sure you're using the latest version of `vue3-quill` as older versions might have incorrect or outdated module imports. Update the package:

yarn upgrade vue3-quill

—

#### 2. Ensure Correct Import Syntax
`quill` does not have a default export. To fix this, explicitly import Quill components where needed. If this issue arises from `vue3-quill`, try configuring Vite or ensuring `vue3-quill` handles the import properly.

—

#### 3. Modify Vite Configuration (if needed)
Update your `vite.config.js` to optimize the handling of `quill`. Add the following snippet:

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [vue()],
  optimizeDeps: {
    include: ['quill'],
  },
});

This ensures Vite pre-bundles `quill` correctly.

—

#### 4. Directly Import `QuillEditor` from `vue3-quill`
Update your component to explicitly import `QuillEditor` correctly:

<script setup>
import { QuillEditor } from 'vue3-quill';
import 'quill/dist/quill.snow.css';

const editorOptions = {
  theme: 'snow',
  placeholder: 'Start typing here...',
};

const content = ref('');
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <quill-editor v-model="content" :options="editorOptions"></quill-editor>
  </div>
</template>

—

#### 5. Check Node.js Compatibility
Ensure you are using a compatible version of Node.js since `quill` and `vue3-quill` may have compatibility requirements. You're using Node.js 21, which is the latest version. If issues persist, consider testing with an LTS version like Node.js 20.

—

#### 6. Alternative: Use `vue3-quill` CDN (Optional)
If the issue persists, you can load Quill via a CDN and use it globally in your project. Add this in your `index.html` file:

<script src="https://cdn.quilljs.com/1.3.7/quill.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://cdn.quilljs.com/1.3.7/quill.snow.css" rel="stylesheet">

Then, ensure `vue3-quill` uses the global Quill object.

Uncaught SyntaxError: The requested module '/node_modules/.vite/deps/vue3-quill.js?v=8c3d6efa' does not provide an export named 'QuillEditor' (at Create.vue:6:10)Understand this errorAI
Create.vue:6 Uncaught (in promise) SyntaxError: The requested module '/node_modules/.vite/deps/vue3-quill.js?v=8c3d6efa' does not provide an export named 'QuillEditor' (at Create.vue:6:10)

Assistant

The error `does not provide an export named 'QuillEditor'` suggests that the `vue3-quill` library does not export a `QuillEditor` component as you’re trying to use it. This can happen due to:

1. Incorrect import syntax or misreading the library's documentation.
2. A mismatch between the `vue3-quill` version and its usage.

—

### Steps to Fix

#### 1. Check the Exports of `vue3-quill`
The correct export of `vue3-quill` may vary between versions. To verify:

– Look at the library documentation or source code in the `node_modules/vue3-quill` folder.
– Confirm the actual exported names.

Typically, it exports `useQuill` or a default setup for Quill.

—

#### 2. Update Your Import
Based on how `vue3-quill` works, try using `useQuill` instead of `QuillEditor`.

Update your `Create.vue` file:

<script setup>
import { useQuill } from 'vue3-quill';
import 'quill/dist/quill.snow.css'; // Include Quill's Snow theme styles

const content = ref('');
const quillEditor = ref(null);

onMounted(() => {
    useQuill(quillEditor, {
        theme: 'snow',
        placeholder: 'Start typing here...',
    });
});
</script>

<template>
  <div ref="quillEditor" class="quill-editor"></div>
</template>

—

#### 3. Verify the Installed Version of `vue3-quill`
Ensure you're using the latest compatible version:

yarn list vue3-quill

If outdated, update to the latest version:

yarn add vue3-quill@latest

—

#### 4. Use the Correct Syntax for Your Version
Older versions may not support `QuillEditor` directly. You might need to rely on the `useQuill` function or a global Quill integration.

—

#### 5. Confirm Your Vite Dependency Handling
Sometimes, Vite misconfigures module exports. Update `vite.config.js`:

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [vue()],
  optimizeDeps: {
    include: ['vue3-quill'],
  },
});

Restart the development server:

yarn dev

—

#### 6. Test with Minimal Setup
Create a standalone component with just the editor:

<script setup>
import { useQuill } from 'vue3-quill';
import 'quill/dist/quill.snow.css';

const editorRef = ref(null);

onMounted(() => {
    useQuill(editorRef, { theme: 'snow' });
});
</script>

<template>
  <div ref="editorRef" class="quill-editor"></div>
</template>
