Khmer Web | Building Post Page

Post page is where we will write post about job offer to be published on the website. So, we need a rich text editor such as CKEditor 5 that can be built and downloaded from https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-5/online-builder/.

As we need some interactivity on client-side, we can hydrate this post page or include the form with CKEditor 5 as a string into the page. Doing so, the form will be rendered on client-side, and we can use vanilla JavaScript to select categories from the dropdown widget to include in the category input widget.

/** @jsx h */
import { h, renderSSR } from "../../deps.ts";
import Index from "./index.jsx";


function PostJsx(props){
    const item = props.data.item;
    let editor = ``

    if(item){
        editor = `
