JavaScript Text Editor (JS TE) is a versatile JavaScript library for creating text editors in web applications. It empowers you to transform a simple HTML container into a rich WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) text editor, similar to the classic TinyMCE, without the need for extensive frameworks or dependencies.
- Seamless integration with modern and old browsers.
- No complex frameworks or dependencies required.
- Employs the intuitive WYSIWYG editing model.
Using JS TE is a breeze. You can get started with a single line of code:
jste(htmlSelector);For instance, if you have an HTML div or span container with an id of "editor," simply use the following to initialize JS TE:
jste("#editor");Of course, you can use different selectors as needed.
To use JS TE, you can download the distributable library from the GitHub repository or clone the entire JS TE project to your local environment. Then, follow these steps:
-
In your project directory, install the required dependencies by running:
npm install --save-dev
-
Once the dependencies are installed, generate the distributable version of the library using:
npm run dist
This process will compile the source code from the
srcdirectory, producing a distribution that can be used in various environments. -
Include the library in your project by adding the following lines to your HTML:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="jste.css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="jste.min.js"></script>
-
Create an HTML container within the
<body>tags where you want to embed the text editor:<span id="editor">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Accusantium ad alias amet, commodi earum, ex illum maiores neque nostrum nulla quae repellat repellendus repudiandae rerum suscipit, totam ut voluptate. Eligendi!</span>
-
Finally, initialize JS TE using the following code:
<script> const editor = jste('#editor'); </script>
That's it! You now have a functional WYSIWYG text editor on your web page.
