How to register alignment styles in react-quill

Question

I'm using react-quill npm package and dynamically importing it in nextjs and I'm also using create-next-app boilerplate. I am able to get the react-quill editor to work but I am not able to get the image styles/paragraph styles that are set with the align button from the toolbar and re-displaying the contents - image/paragraph.

Use case:

1. Add image/paragraph and add alignment from toolbar in the editor.
2. Save the editor contents in a database
3. Re display the content of react-quill editor from database using npm package htmr

Expected: image/paragraph content should still be aligned right/center/justify.

Actual: image/paragraph content has had all the style attributes removed.

Below is my code,How to register the style for image/paragraph of react-quill in nextjs is my question

import { useState,useEffect } from 'react'
import Router from 'next/router'
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic' 
import { withRouter } from 'next/router'   // used to get access to props of react-dom
import { getCookie,isAuth } from '../../actions/auth';
import { createBlog }  from '../../actions/blog'

// dynamically importing react-quill  
const ReactQuill = dynamic( ()=> import('react-quill'), {ssr:false} )
import '../../node_modules/react-quill/dist/quill.snow.css'

const CreateBlog  = ( {router} ) => {


    const [ body,setBody ] = useState( blogFromLS() )
    const [ values,setValues ] = useState({
        error : '',
        sizeError : '',
        success : '',
        formData : '',
        title : '',
        hidePublishButton : false
    })


    const  { error, sizeError, success, formData, title, hidePublishButton } = values;
    const token = getCookie('token')

    useEffect(()=>{
            setValues({...values, formData: new FormData()})
            initCategories()
            intiTags()
    },[router])

    
    const handleChange = name => e => {
        //console.log(e.target.value)
        const value = name === 'photo' ? e.target.files[0] : e.target.value
        formData.set(name,value)
        setValues({...values, [name]:value, formData : formData , error:''})
    }; 

    const handleBody =  e => {
        //console.log(e)
        setBody(e)
        formData.set('body',e)
        if(typeof window !== 'undefined'){
            localStorage.setItem('blog',JSON.stringify(e))
        }
    }

    const publishBlog =(e) => {
            e.preventDefault();
           // console.log('ready to publish')

export default withRouter(CreateBlog);

Answer 1

As far as I have tried, the Image resize Module won't work with boilerplate of Nextjs and The styles itself won't get register while displaying the contents back.You need to either eject the boilerplate or use webpack.

I prefer you to use SunEditor for react rich text editor which works extremely well with Nextjs. SunEditor github Link. You just need to import the stylesheet globally in your _document.js or _app.js .

You can see the demo here

Answer 2

To register a global style, you must put it in pages/_app.js (docs):

import '../../node_modules/react-quill/dist/quill.snow.css'

export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
  return <Component {...pageProps} />
}

There is an RFC to allow this CSS import on a per-page basis. And also an issue that also talks about this.
