Question: Does it really work without react?

Hello there,

thanks for this nice editor-library. I came across some issues during implementing lexical with plain vanilla js app. The code can be found here: https://codesandbox.io/s/lexical-vanilla-js-i05utt

As you can see, the editor does not take the pressed key as an input. If you add:

editor.update(() => {
  const root = $getRoot();
  const paraNode = $createParagraphNode();
  const textNode = $createTextNode('Hello World');
  paraNode.append(textNode);
  root.append(paraNode);

there will be text inside the editor, but its neither possible to use the backspace (no chars will be deleted) nor to use enter (to add a new paragraph).

Did i something wrong? Or is there a bug with using lexical in a vanilla js-environment?

Best regards

@trueadm Thanks for your ultra quick response 😃

Could be maybe helpful for lexical newcomers who come across the same issue to have an example with vanilla js. If you don’t mind i would extend my sandbox and create a pull request which a link inside the readme to have an example in plain javascript?

registerRichText(editor, initialEditorState);
