Content Editor toolbar

What does this MR do?

This MR contains an initial implementation of the Content Editor toolbar. The toolbar contains the following actions:

  • Bold text
  • Italic
  • Inserting a quote
  • Inserting a bullet list
  • Inserting an ordered list

This MR does not intend to add all the actions we expect to include in the toolbar. In upcoming MRs, we will add other controls for inserting and editing links, images, etc.

Design notes

TipTap Editor class contains all the state of the editor. An Editor’s state contains, among other things, the following information:

  • Cursor position
  • Current selection
  • Format applied to certain parts of the text

The ToolbarButton component is just a presentation component that queries the editor model to determine when a piece of text has format related to the button’s content type. The button can also execute commands but this is optional
