HTML elements injected via JS (quilljs) conflicting with flexbox












1















I'm trying to create a very simple page, essentially no different than stack overflow's layout in that there is a sidebar and a "content" area which can scroll. My content area however is meant to be taken up entirely by a quilljs text editor.



I just create a div and tell quilljs to use that div for the editor...



    <article>
<div id="editor"></div>
</article>

<script>
var quill = new Quill('#editor', {theme: 'snow'});
</script>


Which works fine in theory, however quilljs injects an additional div above the editor div, so I end up with:



     <article>
<div id="ql-toolbar"></div>
<div id="editor"></div>
</article>


If I inspect and delete the toolbar div manually, I can see that the editor div is sized as desired (it fills the entire article element and any overflowing text has a scrollbar).



My conclusion is that injecting the additional div toolbar is the root cause of the issue, however I can't seem to find a good solution...



The only solution I currently see is to manually adjust the size of the "editor" div in order to compensate for the additional div that I know will be added.



 #editor {
max-height: calc(100% - 40px);
}


However this solution falls apart pretty quick with the prospect of variable size toolbars and also when manually adjusting the window width. I'd like to find a more robust solution if one exists.



Here's a codepen of the issue (notice how the bottom of the scollbar is cut off):

          • Thanks for the reply, clearly I don't have a good grasp on flex yet. I did have trouble replicating this fix locally, and identified the issue a a lack of a doctype declaration in my local html page.

          You might style your article and #editor like this:






          var quill = new Quill('#editor', {
          theme: 'snow'
          });

          html,
          body {
          height: 100%;
          line-height: 1.5;
          margin: 0px;
          }

          .wrap {
          height: 100vh;
          display: flex;
          }

          main {
          flex: 1;
          display: flex;
          }

          aside {
          overflow-y: auto;
          min-width: 200px;
          max-width: 200px;
          flex: 1;
          background: #f7f7f7;
          }

          article {
          display: flex;
          flex-flow: column;
          overflow: hidden;
          flex: 2;
          background: #f0eeee;

          • Thanks for the reply, clearly I don't have a good grasp on flex yet. I did have trouble replicating this fix locally, and identified the issue a a lack of a doctype declaration in my local html page.
