Support for medium-length documents?

[andreavrr]

Hi team, amazing job on releasing react-native-enriched.

I'm evaluating this library for my project to allow users to create and format text documents. The maximum expected length for these files is around 5 pages.

While watching your YouTube live presentation, I understood that very long documents might be a potential performance limitation at the moment. Could you confirm if a 5-page length is handled smoothly or if there are any known bottlenecks I should be aware of before adopting it?

Thanks a lot for the great work🙏

Thanks for the kind words.

Since then, we have definitely added improvements that enhance performance. The most important thing is not to rely on the onChangeHtml callback when processing long texts. Using it means that every change in text/style requires parsing the text and generating HTML, which can cause performance issues with longer texts. Instead, it is better to access the HTML on demand, imperatively, via ref.current.getHtml().

We know that react-native-enriched is used in several projects to handle long texts, but we have not conducted any detailed measurements internally. I think it would be best if you try using react-native-enriched (setup should be quick and fairly easy) and evaluate for yourself how it works in your case. If you notice any performance issues, I would appreciate your feedback, and we will try to do something about it ;)

Thank you very much for the reply, it’s great to hear that performance has improved 🙌

The clarification about handling HTML with longer texts is very helpful, and I will definitely follow the recommended approach to avoid unnecessary overhead during editing.

I will certainly report any performance issues I may encounter.

Thanks again for your work and availability.
As a small suggestion, it would be very useful to also have full text alignment support, including left, center, right, and justified.

Thank you.

Text alignement is on our roadmap. Unfortunately I don't have a specific ETA to share
