Payload Plugin Lexical

Overview

The Payload Lexical Plugin is an npm package for Payload CMS that adds a lexical-based richtext editor. It is a more modern and user-friendly alternative to the existing Slate-based editor. The plugin comes with a range of customizable features, including tables, markdown, speech-to-text, and more. It is also easy to extend and add new functionality to the editor.
