How to Add Custom Data Attributes to Image Tags in Quill Editor

When editing content in a rich text editor like Quill, you may often find the need to add additional attributes to your HTML elements—especially image tags. A common request from developers is how to integrate custom data attributes, such as data-filename, into an image tag. If you've faced difficulties in achieving this through Quill's attributors, fear not! In this guide, we delve into a solution that allows you to seamlessly add and maintain any attributes you need.

Understanding the Problem

If you're working with Quill and want to include metadata within your images, you might be frustrated with the default behavior of Quill's handling of image tags. By default, Quill tends to strip away certain attributes from images, which can be problematic when you want to store custom information like filenames or other metadata in your image tags. So how do we tackle this issue?

Solution: Creating a Custom Image Blot

To allow images to retain all attributes—including our desired custom data attributes—we’ll create a custom image blot by extending Quill's built-in image functionality. Follow along as we break down this solution into manageable chunks.

Step 1: Extend the Image Blot

The first step is to extend the existing ImageBlot class in Quill. This approach allows us to customize the way images are represented in the editor. Here’s how we do this:

Step 2: Register the Custom Image Blot

After defining your custom image blot, it’s crucial to register it with Quill so that it knows to use your extension instead of the default image implementation.

Explanation of the Code

Creating a Class: We create a CustomImageBlot class that inherits from ImageBlot.

Setting Up Static Properties: We define blotName and tagName to specify how our blot should be referenced in Quill.

Create Method: Inside the create method, we take the incoming attributes and set them directly onto our image tag. This ensures that custom data attributes like data-filename are preserved.

Value Method: The value method helps retrieve all attributes from the image tag when Quill is updating content, allowing you to access the stored metadata later on.

Conclusion

With these steps completed, you can now add any custom data attributes you need to image tags in your Quill editor. This solution not only enhances your formatting capabilities but also provides a powerful way to preserve and utilize additional metadata—making your rich text editor even more versatile.

Now you're all set to enrich your Quill editor with custom data attributes! If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to reach out in the comments below.
