Question 1

How do I install the Editor.js extension in Directus?

Accepted Answer

Run 'npm install directus-extension-editorjs' in your Directus root directory, restart Directus, and set the field interface to Editor.js in the data model, as per the README instructions.

Question 2

What blocks are available in this Editor.js interface?

Accepted Answer

It uses Editor.js's default blocks like paragraphs, headings, lists, and embeds, but the exact set depends on the Editor.js configuration; refer to editorjs.io for more details on available tools.

Question 3

How can I customize or add new blocks to Editor.js in Directus?

Accepted Answer

Customization requires modifying the extension code or integrating additional Editor.js tools, which isn't covered in the README, so you'll need to consult Editor.js documentation and possibly develop custom interfaces.

Question 4

Is Editor.js better than a traditional WYSIWYG editor for my Directus project?

Accepted Answer

Editor.js excels for structured, JSON-based content that needs decoupling from presentation, ideal for headless CMS use, while traditional WYSIWYG is better for projects requiring direct HTML output and inline styling.

Question 5

How do I use the JSON output from Editor.js on my website?

Accepted Answer

Parse the JSON output in your frontend code to dynamically render content blocks; the structured data allows for consistent display across web, mobile, or other platforms, often using JavaScript frameworks.

Question 6

Does this extension work with Directus 10 or newer versions?

Accepted Answer

It's built for Directus 9, so compatibility with Directus 10 isn't guaranteed; check the GitHub repository for updates or community issues, as you might need to test or modify the extension.
