Draft.js Block Breakout plugin

This is a plugin for the draft-js-plugins-editor, a plugin system that sits on top of Draft.js.

By default draft carries the current block type over to the next line when you press return, which is an undesired behaviour for some of the default block types (headers mostly).

This plugin adds behaviour to the editor to "break out" of certain block types if the user presses return at the start or end of the block. Where "break out" means changing the inserted block to the default type (usually unstyled)

Usage

import createBlockBreakoutPlugin from 'draft-js-block-breakout-plugin'
const blockBreakoutPlugin = createBlockBreakoutPlugin()

This can then be passed into a draft-js-plugins-editor component:

import createBlockBreakoutPlugin from 'draft-js-block-breakout-plugin'
const blockBreakoutPlugin = createBlockBreakoutPlugin()
import Editor from 'draft-js-plugins-editor'

const plugins = [blockBreakoutPlugin]

<Editor plugins={plugins} />

Options

You can pass options to the plugin as you call it:

const options = {
  breakoutBlockType: 'unordered-list-item',
  breakoutBlocks: ['header-one', 'header-two']
}
const blockBreakoutPlugin = createBlockBreakoutPlugin(options)

The options and their defaults are:

Option	Type	Description	Default
`breakoutBlockType`	`String`	Block type to insert when breaking out	`'unstyled'`
`breakoutBlocks`	`Array`	List of block types to break out from	`['header-one', 'header-two', 'header-three', 'header-four', 'header-five', 'header-six']`
`doubleBreakoutBlocks`	`Array`	List of block types to that require return on a blank line in order to break	`['blockquote', 'unordered-list-item', 'ordered-list-item', 'code-block']`
