Feature: Full featured vanillajs example

[HolyOne]

I tried the vanilla-js example which works fine except there is no toolbar.
To bring lexical to .net platform and other platforms with ease, I suggest lexical would have a fully working vanillajs example so it could be migrated to any platform easily with a common api.

Hi!
Thanks for the input here. I think toolbar and all other components really depend on React for UI rendering, so while it's possible to do similar UI in vanilla JS - it may be quite suboptimal.

Can you pls elaborate on why you can't use React within .NET apps?

I think we can do potentially preact (smaller React), but you do need some library to handle DOM outside of Lexical conveniently.

Blazor has its own way to access dom and it is as big as react. Using both libraries would make it overcomplicated and big. A pure javascript lexicon would not only be beneficial for blazor lexicon development but also be good for having an abstraction to build on all languages

Can you provide some example of Lexical/Blazor integration? W/o toolbar of course.
If it can be an interactive sandbox - would be awesome.

Also pls elaborate on how usage of preact here (3kb of code) would be worse then some custom written JS to manipulate DOM

Blazor integration does not seem possible without addin react over blazor. Blazor is not js, it is webassembly and it can call javascript functions from c# code. I dont know much about preact but I guess it also has its own dom access layer like react
