@survicate/builder-plugin-article-editor

Long-form article editor for Survicate blog posts in the Builder.io dashboard.

The plugin registers a custom field type named survicateArticle and renders a TipTap editor in place of the default rich text field. It is built for the content field of the blog-post data model, which stores sanitized article HTML including div[data-article-embed] placeholders for surveys and other embeds.

Registering a new type rather than overriding the built-in richText type keeps every other rich text field in the space untouched.

Requirements

• Node 22 (see .nvmrc)
• Access to the Survicate Builder.io space to load the plugin

Development

npm install
npm start # serves dist/plugin.system.js on http://localhost:1268

Load the local build into Builder from Space Settings → Integrations → Plugins → Edit, adding:

http://localhost:1268/plugin.system.js?pluginId=@survicate/builder-plugin-article-editor

The pluginId query parameter is required for Builder to match the plugin with its settings. Plugins are loaded once per session, so reload the Builder tab to pick up code changes.

Plugin settings are shared by everyone in the space. Loading a development build replaces the editor for all users, so run dev sessions outside of editorial hours and remove the local URL when finished.

Scripts

Script	Purpose
npm start	Dev server on port 1268
npm run build	Production bundle in dist/plugin.system.js
npm run lint	ESLint
npm run typecheck	TypeScript, no emit
npm test	Vitest in watch mode
npm run test:run	Vitest once
npm run format	Prettier write
npm run pre-pr	lint + typecheck + tests + build

Corpus gate

Before the editor goes anywhere near real content, every migrated post has to survive a round-trip. Point CORPUS_PATH at the transformed posts and run:

CORPUS_PATH=../www/scripts/.webflow-export/<date>/transformed/posts.json npm run verify:corpus

The gate loads each post into the editor, serializes it back and fails if any link, embed source or image URL disappears, if a single character of article text changes, or if the number of tables, header cells, figures, captions, images, quotes, headings or embeds shifts.

Publishing

The package is published publicly under the @survicate scope, owned by the Marketing team. Builder loads plugins from npm by package name, which requires the package to be publicly readable — only private plugins hosted on your own URL need an Enterprise plan, which is why this route was chosen.

npm run pre-pr
npm version <patch|minor|major>
npm publish # publishConfig.access is already set to public
git push --follow-tags

Grant the Marketing team write access once, after the first publish:

npm access grant read-write @survicate:marketing @survicate/builder-plugin-article-editor

Install in Builder by entering the package name in Space Settings → Integrations → Plugins.

Conventions

Mirrors the main www repository: ESLint flat config with the same rule set (padding-line-between-statements, sort-keys, func-style: expression, simple-import-sort, TypeScript strictness), Prettier with identical options, @/ import alias, Husky with lint-staged on commit, and Vitest for tests. Source files carry no comments — names and tests describe behaviour.
