Welcome to my guide on integrating and customizing the Quill editor in your Nuxt.js applications! Incorporating a rich text editor like Quill can significantly enhance the user experience and functionality of your web projects. Whether you're aiming to create a blog, a content management system, or simply empower your users with a polished text editing tool, understanding how to seamlessly add and configure Quill within your Nuxt.js environment is a valuable skill. In this tutorial, we'll delve into the step-by-step process of seamlessly integrating Quill into your Nuxt.js application, allowing you to harness its powerful editing capabilities effortlessly.
If we have finished determining the value of this direction, let's dive in!

## Step 1: Initial Project Setup
We will start a new Nuxt project by using installation instructions from official Nuxt documentation.
Open a terminal and use the following command to create a new starter project: 

> npx nuxi@latest init <project-name>

Install the dependencies:

> npm install

And now you are ready to start a project in development mode:

> npm run dev

We have a Nuxt starting page and almost empty project. We can remove <NuxtWelcome /> tag from App.vue file and move to the next step.
If you have any issue with that please check Nuxt official documentation.

## Step 2: Install and Configure Quill Editor
We will also use VueQuill documentation and install main dependencies into our project. Open the terminal and use the next command to install the editor:

> npm install @vueup/vue-quill@latest --save

Great, after installation we can use Quill Editor in our app. Let's create a separate component, especially for Quill, name it Editor.vue, add import, and add component Editor and styles. As a final result of this step, we will have code like this:
```
<template>
    <QuillEditor theme="snow" />
</template>

<script>
import { QuillEditor } from '@vueup/vue-quill'
import '@vueup/vue-quill/dist/vue-quill.snow.css';

export default {
  components: {
    QuillEditor
  }
}
</script>
```

## Step 3: Render Quill Editor in App
Okay, we will import our Editor.vue component into App.vue file, then restart and check our editor.
```
<template>
  <div>
    <QuillEditor />
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import QuillEditor from './components/QuillEditor.vue';

export default {
  name: 'App',

  components: {
    QuillEditor
  }
}
</script>
```
So what we will see on our screens? Ouch... Errors.

Maximum call stack size exceeds error. So how we will solve this problem? Looks like Nuxt tried a few hundred times to render Quill Editor and it was not successful. 
Okay, let's add all configs to QuillEditor component and check again.
```
<QuillEditor 
            :options="options"
            toolbar="full"
            contentType="html"
            v-model:content="editorData"/>
```

```
data() {
    return {
      editorData: '',
      options: {
        theme: "snow",
        placeholder: "Write here"
      }
    }
  },
```
Now we need to restart our dev server and check the result again.

Yayks... new error, this time differs from the previous. So the document is not define error. That means that Nuxt tried to render Quill Editor before the document was created. We need to add updates to both components just to be sure that we solved this problem once and for all. First, let's change the import of our Editor.vue component in the main App file. We will make import asynchronous by using "defineAsyncComponent" helper.
