EditContext API: A New Foundation for Custom Web Editors
The experimental EditContext API gives developers a new foundation for building custom rich text editors by separating text input and selection from rendering. Instead of relying on contenteditable, you attach an EditContext to a focusable element and manage your own text model, selection state, and UI updates—while still receiving browser-grade events for typing, caret movement, and IME composition. This demo highlights the core event flow and why character bounds matter for accurate input UI, especially in custom-rendered editors.
