Basic Usage

HTML

<textarea id="textarea1"></textarea>

Javascript

textarea1 = mirrorMark(document.getElementById("textarea1"), { showToolbar: true });
textarea1.render();

Custom Actions, Keymaps, and Toolbar.

MirrorMark allows you to add custom actions, keymaps, and toolbar options. Below is an example of how to add two actions at runtime and a tool icon with a dropdown to call these two actions.

HTML

<textarea id="textarea2"></textarea>

Javascript

var customActions = {
    // Inserts three images wrapped in a <div>
    "threeUp": function threeUp() {
        var html = [];
        html.push("<div class='threeUp'>");
        html.push("	<img src='' />");
        html.push("	<img src='' />");
        html.push("	<img src='' />");
        html.push("</div>");

        this.insert(html);
    },
    "fourUp": function fourUp() {
        var html = [];
        html.push("<div class='fourUp'>");
        html.push("	<img src='' />");
        html.push("	<img src='' />");
        html.push("	<img src='' />");
        html.push("	<img src='' />");
        html.push("</div>");

        this.insert(html);
    }
}

var customKeyMaps = {
    "Shift-Cmd-Alt-3": "threeUp",
    "Shift-Cmd-Alt-4": "fourUp",
};

var customTools = [{
    name: "threeUp",
    action: null,
    className: "fa fa-fighter-jet",
    nested: [
        {
    		name: "threeUp",
    		action: "threeUp",
    		showName: true
    	},
    	{
    		name: "fourUp",
    		action: "fourUp",
    		showName: true
    	}
    ]
}];

textarea2 = mirrorMark(document.getElementById("textarea2"), { autofocus: true, showToolbar: true });
textarea2.registerActions(customActions);
textarea2.registerKeyMaps(customKeyMaps);
textarea2.registerTools(customTools);
textarea2.render();
