Getting Started with the Kendo UI for Angular Editor

The Editor enables users to create rich textual content through a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) interface.

It delivers a set of tools for creating, editing, and formatting of text, paragraphs, lists, and other HTML elements.

Basic Usage

The following example demonstrates the Editor in action.

Installation

Either use the quick setup (Angular CLI) or manually add the package.

Quick Setup with Angular CLI

Angular CLI supports the addition of packages through the ng add command which executes in one step the set of otherwise individually needed commands.

Copy Code    ng add @progress/kendo-angular-editor

Manual Setup

1. Download and install the package.

   Copy Code   npm install --save @progress/kendo-angular-editor @progress/kendo-angular-buttons @progress/kendo-angular-common @progress/kendo-angular-dialog @progress/kendo-angular-dropdowns @progress/kendo-angular-inputs @progress/kendo-angular-intl @progress/kendo-angular-l10n @progress/kendo-angular-popup @progress/kendo-angular-toolbar @progress/kendo-drawing @progress/kendo-licensing

2. Once installed, import the EditorModule in your application root or feature module.

   Copy Codeimport { Component, NgModule } from '@angular/core';
   import { RouterModule } from '@angular/router';
   import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
   import { EditorModule } from '@progress/kendo-angular-editor';
   
   @NgModule({
       declarations: [
           AppComponent,
       ],
       imports: [
           RouterModule.forChild(
               [{
                   path: '',
                   component: AppComponent
               }]
           ),
           CommonModule,
           EditorModule
       ]
   })
   export class AppModule {}

3. You are required to install one of the Kendo UI themes for Angular to style your component. For more information on how to add the styles, refer to the section on styling.

4. For Angular 9.x and later, install the @angular/localize package:

   1. Run npm install --save @angular/localize.
   2. Add import '@angular/localize/init'; to your src/polyfills.ts file.

5. Follow the instructions on the Kendo UI for Angular My License page to activate your license. You can skip this step if your application already contains a Kendo UI license file.
