import 'quill/dist/quill.snow.css'; // Add css for snow theme
// or import 'quill/dist/quill.bubble.css'; // Add css for bubble theme

export default () => {
  const { quill, quillRef } = useQuill();

  console.log(quill);    // undefined > Quill Object
  console.log(quillRef); // { current: undefined } > { current: Quill Editor Reference }

  return (
    <div style={{ width: 500, height: 300 }}>
      <div ref={quillRef} />
    </div>
  );
};

With Initial Value

export default () => {
  const { quill, quillRef } = useQuill();

  React.useEffect(() => {
    if (quill) {
      quill.clipboard.dangerouslyPasteHTML('<h1>React Hook for Quill!</h1>');
    }
  }, [quill]);

  return (
    <div style={{ width: 500, height: 300 }}>
      <div ref={quillRef} />
    </div>
  );
};

With onChange Handler

• https://quilljs.com/docs/api/#text-change

export default () => {
  const { quill, quillRef } = useQuill();

  React.useEffect(() => {
    if (quill) {
      quill.on('text-change', (delta, oldDelta, source) => {
        console.log('Text change!');
        console.log(quill.getText()); // Get text only
        console.log(quill.getContents()); // Get delta contents
        console.log(quill.root.innerHTML); // Get innerHTML using quill
        console.log(quillRef.current.firstChild.innerHTML); // Get innerHTML using quillRef
      });
    }
  }, [quill]);

  return (
    <div style={{ width: 500, height: 300 }}>
      <div ref={quillRef} />
    </div>
  );
};

    Quill.register('modules/counter', function(quill, options) {
      quill.on('text-change', function() {
        const text = quill.getText();
        // There are a couple issues with counting words
        // this way but we'll fix these later
        counterRef.current.innerText = text.split(/\s+/).length;
      });
    });
  }

  return (
    <div style={{ width: 500, height: 300 }}>

    const range = quill.getSelection();
    quill.insertEmbed(range.index, 'image', url);
  };

  // Upload Image to Image Server such as AWS S3, Cloudinary, Cloud Storage, etc..
  const saveToServer = async (file) => {

    input.click();

    input.onchange = () => {
