Hi guys,
I am not sure this is the right section to post this question but since it is about customization, I figured it's as good as any other section.
I have a situation for one large prospect, where I need to consider changing the HTML editor or adding a custom editor on top of a textarea input.
The reason for this is that they are using a custom editor in their current solution and that editor is a bit more than just HTML editor it is actually allowing to have a very complex editing option and the result is saved as a JSON. Much like how Visual Composer is doing for Wordpress.
I know this is not familiar ground for DW and I have read a lot of opinions about the PROs and CONs of using JSON format for storing descriptions. Most say that JSON is a lot cleaner format than HTML and I tend to agree with them, especially when you are using that description ina REACT or ANGULAR front-end. Which is also the case of my prospect.
They are planning on using the PIM for managing products and then serve the content to their existing Front-end/ecommerce.
This request is a deal-breaker and I cannot go further with them unless I find a solution.
It can be either a replacement of the current CK editor or a way to create a custom field (textarea) and through some development, add the whole editing logic.
It would probably be easier to tackle it with a custom field type in an Item but since we are talking about PIM and Product fields, I imagine it is a bit more complicated.
Any thoughts on this would be very appreciated.
Thank you,
Adrian
