Getting Started

<link href="./css/kothing-editor.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="./kothing-editor.min.js"></script>

2. Target Element

<textarea id="my-editor">Hi</textarea>

 */
// ID or DOM object
const KothingEditor = KothingEditor.create(
  document.getElementById("my-editor"),

    // Insert options
    // Language global object (default: en)
    lang: KothingEditor_Lang["zh_cn"],
  }
);

4. Contents display

When you display a document created by KothingEditor
You need to include "kothing-editor/css/kothing-editor.min.css" file.

Use import statement

1. Load only what you want

import "kothing-editor/css/kothing-editor.min.css";
import KothingEditor from "kothing-editor";
import {
  font,
  fontSize,
  fontColor,
  horizontalRule,
  list,
  image,
} from "kothing-editor/lib/plugins";
import lang from "kothing-editor/lib/lang";

KothingEditor.create("my-editor", {
  plugins: [font, fontSize, fontColor, horizontalRule, link, image],
  toolbarItem: [
    ["font", "fontSize"],
    ["fontColor"],
    ["horizontalRule"],
    ["link", "image"],
  ],
  lang: lang.zh_cn,
});

2. Load all plugins

import 'kothing-editor/css/kothing-editor.min.css'
import KothingEditor from 'kothing-editor'
import plugins from 'kothing-editor/lib/plugins'

KothingEditor.create('document', {
    plugins: plugins,
    toolbarItem: [
        ['undo', 'redo'],
        ['font', 'fontSize', 'formatBlock'],
        ['bold', 'underline', 'italic', 'strike', 'subscript', 'superscript'],
        ['removeFormat'],
        '/', // Line break
        ['fontColor', 'hiliteColor'],
        ['outdent', 'indent'],
        ['align', 'horizontalRule', 'list', 'table'],
        ['link', 'image', 'video'],
        ['fullScreen', 'showBlocks', 'codeView'],
        ['preview', 'print'],
        ['save', 'template']
    ]
})

// You can also load what you want
KothingEditor.create('my-editor', {
    plugins: [
        plugins.font
        plugins.fontSize
    ],
    toolbarItem: [
        ['font', 'fontSize'],
        // Plugins can be used directly in the toolbar item
        [plugins.formatBlock]
    ]
})

3. Plugins can be used directly in the toolbar item

import "kothing-editor/css/kothing-editor.min.css";
import KothingEditor from "kothing-editor";
import {
  align,
  font,
  fontSize,
  fontColor,
  hiliteColor,
  horizontalRule,
  list,
  table,
  template,
  formatBlock,
  link,
  image,
  video,
} from "kothing-editor/lib/plugins";

KothingEditor.create("my-editor", {
  toolbarItem: [
    ["undo", "redo"],
    [font, fontSize, formatBlock],
    ["bold", "underline", "italic", "strike", "subscript", "superscript"],
    ["removeFormat"],
    [fontColor, hiliteColor],
    ["outdent", "indent"],
    [align, horizontalRule, list, table],
    [link, image, video],
    ["fullScreen", "showBlocks", "codeView"],
    ["preview", "print"],
    ["save", template],
  ],
});

Init function

The init function can be used by predefining options and calling the create function on the returned object.
The value of the option argument put in the "create" function call takes precedence

import "kothing-editor/css/kothing-editor.min.css";
import KothingEditor from "kothing-editor";
import plugins from "kothing-editor/lib/plugins";

// all plugins
const initEditor = KothingEditor.init({
  plugins: plugins,
  height: 200,
  toolbarItem: [
    [
      "undo",
      "redo",
      "font",
      "fontSize",
      "formatBlock",
      "bold",
      "underline",
      "italic",
      "strike",
      "subscript",
      "superscript",
      "removeFormat",
      "fontColor",
      "hiliteColor",
      "outdent",
      "indent",
      "align",
      "horizontalRule",
      "list",
      "table",
      "link",
      "image",
      "video",
      "fullScreen",
      "showBlocks",
      "codeView",
      "preview",
      "print",
      "save",
      "template",
    ],
  ],
});

initEditor.create("my-editor_1", {
  // The value of the option argument put in the "create" function call takes precedence
});

initEditor.create("my-editor_2", {
  // The value of the option argument put in the "create" function call takes precedence
  height: "auto",
  toolbarItem: [
    ["bold", "underline", "italic"],
    ["removeFormat"],
    ["preview", "print"],
  ],
});
