v0.35.0 is a monthly release with much improved RTL bidirectional text support (#7727) and several bug fixes

Breaking Changes

All of the breaking changes in this release are related to the improved RTL bidirectional text support in #7727

ltr and rtl theme CSS classes removed

ltr and rtl theme CSS classes are no longer added to DOM elements. If you have custom CSS to set text-align (or any other properties) for bidirectional text, this can be removed. You can target elements that have customized their dir by targeting the attr in CSS, for example:

[dir=rtl] { text-align: right; }

$isParentElementRTL requires an active editor

$isParentElementRTL now relies on accessing the DOM to determine element direction, meaning there must be an active editor when calling the function. If you have code that calls $isParentElementRTL inside editorState.read(), you will need to pass in an editor argument. For example:

const isRTL = editorState.read(
  () => {
    const selection = $getSelection();
    return $isRangeSelection(selection) && $isParentElementRTL(selection);
  },
  {editor}
);

__dir property is synced to/from Yjs (again)

Prior to #7330, the text direction of nodes (as determined by the reconciler) was synced to Yjs, even though this value was ignored on other clients. This property is now used for any manually-set direction attribute on ElementNode.

If you have documents that were created prior to v0.30.0, the previously-reconciled direction will now be read and applied to nodes in the editor. This may lead to unexpected behaviour if, for example, your document contains a paragraph that contained RTL text but content changed to LTR in >= v0.30.0.

Highlights

Core:

• 🆕 #7727 Allow ElementNode direction to be overridden (RTL)
• ✅ #7772 Correct exit direction from decorator nodes in RTL
• ✅ #7794 Fix insert into existing paragraph node if selection is on parent element

Markdown:

• ✅ #7769 Formatted textmatch fix
• 🆕 #7735 Allow any characters in markdown link text

React:

• ✅ #7757 Add $config $transform inheritance to LexicalNestedComposer
