Hey everyone,

I’m working on a fairly large Laravel application that currently uses CKEditor 4, and migrating to Editor.js is now a requirement.

The project uses the Repository Pattern, and CKEditor is used across multiple modules. I’m trying to figure out the right way to approach the migration without making a huge change all at once.

My main concerns are:

• Where should Editor.js-related logic live in a Repository Pattern project?
• Should I create a separate service for Editor.js, or keep things within the existing module structure?
• How should validation and sanitization be handled?
• What’s a good approach for rendering Editor.js JSON on the frontend?
• We already have a lot of CKEditor HTML stored in the database. What’s the safest way to handle/migrate that?
• Is it better to migrate module-by-module while keeping CKEditor working for the modules that haven't been migrated yet?
• What would you recommend for the overall folder/file structure?

I’m especially interested in hearing from anyone who has migrated CKEditor/TinyMCE or another HTML-based editor to Editor.js in a large Laravel application.

I’m a junior developer, so I’d really appreciate practical advice on how you would structure this rather than just “replace the editor” at the frontend level.

Thanks!

Hey all,

Few years ago, I wrote a series of articles related to building maintainable PHP applications on my personal blog, but recently I built this new educational platform and expanded it with a bunch of different features so I moved some of the series of revised articles here.

This is the first of many courses which I am working on which are related to a bit more advanced content or at least content from an experienced angle.

Let me know what you think about the content!

PHPStan 2.3: Leap in Performance, Generics Improvements, Detecting Unused Variables, and More!

I had so much fun with the interactive charts and widgets, check out the article. I promise it's worth checking it out yourself, and not just letting your agent summarize it for you 😉 It contains a lot of interactive widgets with practical examples of the new features in action.
