What I learned putting my own text editor into production

What I learned putting my own text editor into production

Short summary

A developer shares four production edge cases encountered after shipping a custom sub-6kB Angular WYSIWYG editor. The first issue—'No value accessor' errors—was caused by missing ReactiveFormsModule imports and missing formGroup bindings, not the editor itself. The second involved legacy HTML using deprecated tags (b, i, strike) being silently stripped by the editor's sanitizer, requiring content normalization before rendering.

  • •'No value accessor' errors usually stem from missing ReactiveFormsModule or formGroup bindings, not the editor
  • •Legacy HTML tags like <b>, <i>, <strike> get silently stripped by strict sanitizers—normalize before rendering
  • •Production edge cases only surface when custom components touch real data and real design systems
