v0.14.0

BlockSuite v0.14.0 is now released with 348 PRs landed and 5 new contributors.
It's currently used in Affine 0.14. This release includes a lot of new features, improvements, and bug fixes.
And it's a version centered around the AI features.

AI Features

Important

The AI features are only available in the Affine AI due to the dependency on the backend service.

AI

We have added a lot of AI features in this release to support the Affine AI project.
Thanks to our team members and contributors (@Flrande, @pengx17, @fundon, @donteatfriedrice, @zzj3720, @doouding, @regischen) for their hard work on this release.

  • AI Action Infra: The AI features are supported by a new AI action infrastructure.
  • Ask AI Format Bar: The format bar now has a new button to ask AI for help.
  • AI Chat Panel: A new AI panel is added to the right sidebar. It can generate text, images, and slides.
  • Edgeless AI: The edgeless elements and blocks now can be interacted with AI actions.

Contribution Details

Infra Improvements

  • Rewrite the view store to support the new block collection and selector. (#6521, #6672, #6534, #6737, #6780)
    In previous versions, the view store is responsible for managing the views of the blocks.
    It was designed to control different views of the same block, such as the editor view and the preview view.
    However, we found that it's a anti-pattern to render different views of the same block in the same block tree.
    Which makes it hard to track the view by the block model.
    In this release, we introduce the block collection and selector to make it easier to render different views of the same block.

  • Introduced the draft model for the transformer. (#6630)
    The draft model is a new model that can be used to transform the block model to a new model.
    It's useful when you want to transform the block model to a new model without changing the original block model.

  • Bson for clipboard. (#6526, #6562)
    We use bson for the clipboard mime to optimize the clipboard data serialization and deserialization.

  • Add spec builder. (#6976)
    The spec builder is a new tool to manage the block specs.

  • Switch to es2022 targets. (#6527)
    We have switched to the es2022 targets to support the latest JavaScript features.

  • refactor(store): support streaming editor.doc from empty state @doodlewind (#6522)

  • refactor(examples): sync collection lifecycle with provider @doodlewind (#6683)

Embed Doc Polishing

In this release, we have polished the embed doc feature to make it more user-friendly.

  • Move embed reload button. (#6502)
  • Polish the styles. (#6523, #6536)
  • Make embed card toolbar a widget. (#6635)
  • Fix the issue that creating linked doc from block selection will loss data. (#6510)
  • Fix the issue that users can't jump into doc inside embed synced doc. (#6531)

Database Enhancements

In this release, the Database has seen a series of enhancements aimed at increasing the fluidity of the editing experience, with improvements to keyboard shortcuts and cursor behavior:

  1. Supports using the Tab key to move the cursor to the next field (#6565)
  2. Supports selecting additional rows using arrow keys (#6941)
  3. Clicking on “New Record” now focuses on the title cell of the new row (#6561)
  4. Supports filling a column with the same content via drag-and-drop (#6895)

Additionally, enhancements to the title column now allow it to link to another page (#6572).
When you drag Kanban cards to the edge, the Kanban will now automatically scroll (#6614).
The Database will display as many views as possible instead of just three (#6642), and the same goes for filters (#6739).

There are also some experimental features that can be enabled through feature flags:

  1. Table now includes a statistics feature (#6560)
  2. The Database now supports using Todo blocks from all pages as a data source (#6785)

Documentation Improvements

We've added some new examples thanks to @doodlewind, @L-Sun.

  • Add vanilla-indexeddb example. (#6525)
  • Add react-indexeddb example. (#6689)
  • Add react-websocket example. (#6624)

v0.13.0 - API Overhaul and Rich Examples

BlockSuite v0.13.0 is now released with 153 PRs landed and 4 new contributors. It's currently used in AFFiNE 0.13. This is a transitional version centered on bug fixes and the clearing of technical debt.

BlockSuite Examples

From 0.13, BlockSuite maintains multiple framework-specific examples demonstrating editor integration for major frameworks (currently including React, Vue, Angular, Preact, Svelte, Solid). There are also examples about using BlockSuite with Next.js and SQLite. You can checkout these examples in the quick start guide.

These examples are maintained in a standalone workspace. There'll be more examples incoming and feel free to make your own!

Framework Features and API Overhaul

  • Text Style Commands Enhancement (#6406, #6416): Added commands to facilitate operations on selected text content, including toggleBold, toggleItalic, toggleUnderline, toggleStrike, toggleCode, toggleLink, getTextStyle, and isTextStyleActive. These commands support chainable combination calls, simplifying common rich text style operations.
  • Format Bar Config API (#6433): Introduced a new format bar widget configuration API, allowing for the customization of format bar menu items. This supports the configuration of existing menu items and the registration of custom menu items, including paragraph dropdowns, style toggles (e.g., bold, italic), highlighter dropdowns, and block type switches with custom icons.
// In root spec:
const defaultSetup = rootSpec.setup;
const mySpec = {
  ...rootSpec,
  setup: (slots, disposableGroup) => {
    defaultSetup(slots, disposableGroup);

    const onFormatBarConnected = slots.widgetConnected.on(view => {
      if (view.component instanceof AffineFormatBarWidget) {
        configureFormatBar(view.component);
      }
    });

    disposableGroup.add(onFormatBarConnected);
  },
};

function configureFormatBar(formatBar: AffineFormatBarWidget) {
  formatBar
    .clearConfig()
    .addParagraphDropdown()
    .addDivider()
    .addTextStyleToggle({
      key: 'bold',
      action: chain => chain.toggleBold().run(),
      icon: BoldIcon,
    })
    .addTextStyleToggle({
      key: 'italic',
      action: chain => chain.toggleItalic().run(),
      icon: ItalicIcon,
    })
    .addDivider()
    .addHighlighterDropdown()
    .addDivider()
    .addBlockTypeSwitch({
      flavour: 'affine:paragraph',
      type: 'h1',
      name: 'Heading 1',
      icon: Heading1Icon,
    })
    .addBlockTypeSwitch({
      flavour: 'affine:paragraph',
      type: 'h2',
      name: 'Heading 2',
      icon: Heading2Icon,
    })
}
  • Standard Error Types and Handler (#6340): Introduced BlockSuiteError to facilitate application-level exception categorization.
  • Renaming page to doc (#6290): We now refer to BlockSuite documents as docs, aligning API concepts with this terminology change (e.g., page.addBlock -> doc.addBlock). This clarifies the document-centric nature of the API.
  • Renaming Workspace to DocCollection (#6436): Replaced the Workspace concept, which was more specific to AFFiNE product features, with DocCollection. This moves towards a more generalized framework structure (e.g., workspace.createDoc to collection.createDoc).
  • Command API Simplification (#6428, #6421, #6277): Streamlined command usage by eliminating the need for .withHost and .getChainCtx. The API for initiating command chains has been intuitively changed from .pipe to .chain, simplifying command execution syntax.
// before
std.command
  .pipe()
  .withHost()
  .getSelectedBlocks()
  .run();

// after
std.command
  .chain()
  .getSelectedBlocks()
  .run();
  • Schema Entry Renaming (#6312, #6319): Removed deprecated __unstableSchemas and enhanced consistency when importing default block schemas. This unifies the exposed schema, reinforcing a consistent framework for developers.
// Before
import { AffineSchemas, __unstableSchemas } from '@blocksuite/blocks/models';

// After
import { AffineSchemas } from '@blocksuite/blocks/schemas';
  • Typed getService (#6284): The getService API is now strongly typed with different service specific to block flavours.

Product Features

  • Batch Import (#6360): Enabled batch importing of multiple markdown or HTML files through the file picker.
  • Pressure Sensitivity for Brush Mode (#6348): Added pressure sensitivity support for the brush tool, offering more natural drawing experience on tablets.
  • Comment Feature POC (#6302): Introduced a preliminary support for a commenting feature, setting the stage for enhanced collaboration capabilities that will be further refined in future updates.

v0.11.0 - The Editor Framework!

v0.11.0 - The Editor Framework!
blocksuite-cover

The BlockSuite v0.11.0 release is now available! With 317 PRs landed and 6 new contributors, this version marks a milestone in our journey: evolving from a proprietary editor to a general-purpose editing framework.

BlockSuite originated as an editor designed to meet the needs of the AFFiNE knowledge base, which is why, for a long time, it provided a default EditorContainer that included both document editing and whiteboard functionalities. Early updates also focused heavily on specific features for AFFiNE products.

However, during the development of BlockSuite, we've built a range of front-end infrastructures from the ground up, spanning from rich text editing to whiteboard rendering. This version introduces extensive engineering refactoring and modular layering, resulting in the birth of a new, universal editing framework.

Traditionally, developing a stable rich text editor could take years of challenging work. But the evolution of BlockSuite has far outpaced this. We believe our work stems from embracing a new architectural pattern called document-centric, which simplifies the complex architecture of traditional editors by natively building the data layer in the editor with CRDT, thereby providing a more efficient development experience.

Key changes in BlockSuite 0.11.0 for developers include:

  • The new @blocksuite/presets package, which splits the independently usable DocEditor and EdgelessEditor, among others.
  • Distinct structuring of the BlockSuite framework layer, including atomic concepts like Editor, Block, Fragment, Widget, and definitive guides on how they combine. The current DocEditor and EdgelessEditor are based on this headless framework layer.
  • Based on BlockSuite headless, the accompanying front-end framework has been switched from lit to atomico for the experimental editor abed. This proves the feasibility of using the BlockSuite framework independently of specific front-end frameworks. We're also embracing React, Vue, and more diverse front-end frameworks, and there's more to come in terms of framework adaptation!
  • Completely rewritten BlockSuite framework tutorial and architectural exploration documentation, also available in Chinese for convenience.

We've also switched to the new home page blocksuite.io, welcome to give it a spin!

The establishment of the framework layer is just the first step in BlockSuite's longer-term vision. The current stable framework layer modules and APIs are still akin to the more low-level, headless part of tools like ProseMirror. Plans are already in place for more out-of-the-box preset support. Stay tuned!

Notable Product Features in 0.11

  • Support for Linked Page Previews (#5813): Added the basic functionality to support linked page previews in the Table of Contents (TOC), enhancing user navigation experience.
  • Enhanced Bookmark Functionality (#5636): Improved the bookmark block to appear directly at the top level of the edgeless canvas, simplifying the process of pasting elements into the whiteboard.
  • Consistent Dragging Behavior (#5613): Improved the consistency of dragging behavior, support dragging paragraphs and images outside of the note block.
  • Frame Sidebar Support (#5584): Added support for frame sidebars fragment, which brings more intuitive control in edgeless editor.
  • Frame Navigator Optimization (#5498): Optimized the frame navigator, enhancing user navigation efficiency and experience.
  • New Table of Contents (TOC) (#5539): Introduced a new TOC fragment, enhancing document organization and navigation capabilities.
  • Embed View for Certain Attachment Types (#5475): Added embed view support for certain attachment types, enhancing the presentation and interactivity of multimedia content.

Notable Framework Enhancements in 0.11

  • Canvas Content Interleaving Based on LayerManager (#5347): Enabled canvas content interleaving with DOM based on LayerManager, enhancing the editor's visual representation and flexibility.
  • Support for Multiple Editor Instances (#5878): Implemented support for multiple editor instances, increasing the flexibility and scalability of the editing environment.
  • Vitest Browser Test Runner (#5536): Added the DOM-based Vitest browser test runner, making easier for writing integration tests.
  • Support for Custom Inline Nodes (#5909): Introduced the custom InlineSpec feature, enhancing flexibility in text editing, especially for advanced content editing like inline LaTeX.
  • Surface Elements API (#5874): Introduced a new surface elements API, avoid raw Y.Map manipulations.
  • Replaced Export Manager (#5934): Fully removed the last part of legacy ContentParser and introduced a new export manager based on snapshot and adapter mechanisms, greatly enhancing support for third-party formats and scalability.
  • Persisting Editing Session State (#5804): Implemented the temporary storage of user toolbar options and other temporary states through SessionStorage, enhancing usability in frequent switching scenarios.
  • Multi-Instance Selection Enhancement (#5852): Refactored the surface selection mechanism to support multiple instances, making the SurfaceSelection in EdgelessEditor more aligned with DocEditor.
  • Optimized Zoom In/Out Performance (#5791): Performance optimization for zoom in and out functionalities, improving response speed and smoothness.
  • Inline Editor Renaming (#5671): Renamed VirgoEditor to InlineEditor to more accurately reflect its functionality.
  • Stash and Pop for Reactive Proxy (#5627): Introduced stash and pop functionalities for reactive proxies, making state management of local non-collaborative fields easier.
  • Splitting Editor Container into Sub-Editors (#5612): Divided the EditorContainer into multiple sub-editors, improving manageability and modularization.
  • Editor and Presets Package Reorg (#5570): Renamed @blocksuite/editor to @blocksuite/presets to more accurately reflect its function and purpose.
  • Embed Block Helper (#5518): Added an createEmbedBlock helper API in @blocksuite/blocks, simplifying the creation and management of embedded content.

v0.10.0 - Almost Beta!

The v0.10.0 release of BlockSuite includes a total of 246 PRs and welcomes 10 new contributors. Besides the continuous enhancement of the framework and more product features for the prebuilt AFFiNE editors, with an increased number of bug fixes and broader usage in production environments, we believe BlockSuite has been very close to its beta stage. This signifies:

  • For first-party editors based on BlockSuite, their stability is now sufficient for production environment usage, and common functionalities are covered by E2E tests. Notably, about 20% of the BlockSuite codebase are test cases, ensuring a robust and reliable experience. Except for a few edge cases, interactions like selection and shortcuts should mostly align with intuition during typical operations.
  • The architecture of the block-editing framework is now established, with best practices for operation data flow and event stream determined. Some legacy logic will be gradually refactored and removed, such as the _legacy directory in the @blocksuite/blocks package. Documentation about the relevant API surface is being continuously improved. However, understanding the usage for customizing blocks and extending selections may still require code consultation at this point.
  • Subsequent releases may still feature API breaking changes, but data will continue to be forward compatible.

We plan to enter the beta phase of BlockSuite in the next upcoming release. Exciting updates are on the way!

Below is a brief overview of the framework improvements and editor features in 0.10.0:

Framework Refinements

  • Enhanced Documentation (#5263): Added comprehensive API documentation for key packages and updated getting started guides to align with new API designs. The BlockSuite documentation site has also been vastly updated.
  • Page Load Callback Functionality (#5325): The new page.load API distinguishes between creating and loading documents, offering more precise control. Details are provided in the BlockSuite Data Persistence Tutorial.
  • Partial Update Support in Store (#5396): Refactored the store event stream to support incremental updates to nested object structures, removing events that could lead to leakage of underlying Yjs abstractions.
  • Optimized Batch Drag Update Size (#5272): Optimized the batch drag update size to reduce redundant ydoc writes, minimizing the update patch sizes in collaborative edits.
  • Recursive Deletion in deleteBlock (#5224): Modified deleteBlock to allow recursive deletion of child nodes by default, with configurable behavior.
  • Garbage Collection in Blob Manager (#5196): The BlobManager now actively removes unlinked resources, enhancing efficiency in resource management.
  • Configurable Block-Level Config (#5158): Support for dynamic configuration (e.g., maximum file size for attachment block) via service config.

Editor Features

  • Surface Reference Block (#5013): The new affine:surface-ref block enables embedding whiteboard frames or groups into the document mode.
  • Grouping Capability in Edgeless (#5069): Enhanced ability to group edgeless elements, with support for nested groupings.
