plate-playground-template
Next.js 16 template with the Plate editor, shadcn/ui and the Plate AI kit (installable via npx shadcn add @plate/editor-ai), plus an MCP component config. Uploads go through UploadThing with a development-only check in src/lib/uploadthing.ts; AI calls use an AI Gateway key the user enters in editor settings, routed through example API routes. For teams wanting a Notion-style editor with AI inside a React app.
Who it is for: React teams adding an AI rich-text editor
Strengths
- Plate AI editor installable with one shadcn command
- UploadThing file uploads already wired
- AI routes use the caller's key, so no shared server credential by default
Weaknesses
- Upload auth is a development stub; replace before production
- Per-user AI usage limits are left to you
- README is short; features are documented on platejs.org
- No tests; requires bun
- Python, Vercel AI Gateway via AI SDK
- Needs UploadThing token, Vercel AI Gateway key (user-supplied)
- GitHub template
- env example file
editor
Nuxt template on the Nuxt UI Editor component and TipTap: headings, tables, slash commands, drag handle, mentions, emoji, markdown output and image upload via NuxtHub Blob. AI features (inline completions, continue, fix grammar, extend, simplify, summarize, translate) stream through AI SDK useCompletion and Vercel AI Gateway; collaboration uses Y.js with PartyKit. Scaffold with npm create nuxt -t ui/editor.
Who it is for: Vue and Nuxt teams adding an AI writing editor
Strengths
- AI, blob storage and collaboration are each optional and env-gated
- One AI Gateway key instead of per-provider keys
- Collaboration via Y.js, swappable from PartyKit to Liveblocks or Tiptap
- Live demo at editor-template.nuxt.dev
Weaknesses
- No auth or document persistence; content is not saved server-side
- Collaboration requires deploying a separate PartyKit server
- Translate supports English, French, Spanish and German only
- No tests
- TypeScript, Vercel AI Gateway via AI SDK useCompletion
- Needs Vercel AI Gateway key (optional), Blob storage: Vercel Blob, R2 or S3 (optional), PartyKit (optional)
- GitHub template
- env example file
