Components / Editor (Beta) / API

EditorComponent

Represents the Kendo UI Editor component for Angular.

Selector

kendo-editor

Inputs

iframe boolean

If set to false, the Editor will run in style non-encapsulated mode. This means
that the styles of the page will be persisted in the Editor and its content will be affected by them.

updateInterval number

By design, the Editor emits valueChange, updates the model and the ToolBar state on each keystroke.
When you are interested in ignoring the new values for a given amout of time and take only the most recent one, you can use the updateInterval property.
A possible use case is to get the new values and to update the ToolBar state at a maximum rate per second in order to speed up your application.
The specified interval (in milliseconds) should be a positive number.
By default the updateInterval is set to 100 miliseconds. If set to zero the delay will be disabled entirely.

value string

Sets the value of the Editor (see example).

Events

valueChange EventEmitter

Fires each time the value of the Editor is changed upon user interaction—
for example, when the component is blurred or the value is updated through the viewSource dialog.
When the value of the Editor is programmatically changed through its API (ngModel) or form binding (formControl),
the valueChange event is not triggered because it might cause a mix-up with the
built-in valueChange mechanisms of the ngModel or formControl bindings.

Methods

blur

Manually blur the Editor.

exec

Executes a command on the currently selected text
(more information and example).

// Toggles the bold styling.
editor.exec('bold');

// Creates a link.
editor.exec('createLink', { href: 'www.progress.com', title: 'Progress', target: 'window' });

// Inserts a image.
editor.exec('insertImage', { src: 'www.progress.com/resources/logo.jpg', title: 'Progress', target: 'window' });

// Inserts a text at a given position. If no position is specified, the text will be inserted after the cursor.
editor.exec('insertText', { text: 'Hello World!', from: 0, to: 0 });

// Changes the format of a text block.
editor.exec('format', { tag: 'h2' });

// Changes the font size of the selected text.
editor.exec('fontSize', 24);

// Changes the content of the Editor.
editor.exec('setHTML', '<p>HTML content</p>');
