Editor Tools

[Harry Anderson]

How do I have the .Tools read in as a template stored externally to the page?  In short our code scanner does not like files over 100 lines, if you define .tools you easily get over 100 lines.  Code formatting breaks lines into items for readability, thus adversely impacting the scanner.

Hi Harry,

The Tools() configuration method expects an Action<Kendo.Mvc.UI.Fluent.EditorToolFactory> as a parameter, so you can extract the definition of the Editor Tools the following way, for example:

Controller:

public class HomeController : Controller
{
        Action<Kendo.Mvc.UI.Fluent.EditorToolFactory> columnTools = tools => tools
            .Clear()
            .Bold()
            .Italic()
            .Underline()
            .JustifyLeft()
            .JustifyCenter()
            .JustifyRight()
            .InsertUnorderedList()
            .InsertOrderedList()
            .SuperScript()
            .SubScript()
            .CreateLink()
            .CleanFormatting();

        public IActionResult Index()
        {
            ViewData["tools"] = columnTools;
            return View();
        }
}

View:

@(Html.Kendo().Editor()
        .Name("editor")
        .Tools((Action<Kendo.Mvc.UI.Fluent.EditorToolFactory>)ViewData["tools"])
    )

I hope this helps.
