EditorComponent

Represents the Kendo UI Editor component for Angular.

Selector

kendo-editor

Inputs

iframe

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.

pasteCleanupSettings

Configures how pasted content is modified before it is added to the Editor. (see example)

preserveWhitespace

(default: false) By default, whitespace is collapsed as per HTML's rules. Set to true to preserve whitespace, but normalize newlines to spaces. Set to 'full' to preserve whitespace entirely. In this case the default ProseMirror behavior is to parse white space into nodes.

updateInterval

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.

disabled

Sets the disabled state of the component.

placeholder

The hint, which is displayed when the component is empty.

plugins

Defines a function which determines the plugins that will be used when initializing the Editor. It exposes the default plugins collection as an argument, and returns the plugins collection that will be used when creating the Editor component. (see example)

Copy Code pluginsCallback(defaultPlugins: Plugin[]): Plugin[] {
   const myPlugin = new Plugin({/custom plugin code/});
   return [...defaultPlugins, myPlugin];
 }

readonly

Sets the read-only state of the component.

schema

Allows providing a custom schema. (see example)

value

Sets the value of the Editor (see example).

Fields

view

Returns the ProseMirror EditorView object that manages the DOM structure that represents an editable document.

Events

blur

Fires when the content area of the Editor is blurred (see example).

focus

Fires when the content area of the Editor is focused (see example).

valueChange

Fires each time the value of the Editor is changed upon user interaction— for example, when the value is updated through typing in the content area or using some of the Editor tools (see example). 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).

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

// Creates a bullet list.
editor.exec('insertUnorderedList');

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

// Inserts a file.
editor.exec('insertFile', { href: 'www.progress.com/resources/myfile.doc', title: 'My file', 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>');

// Creates and inserts a table with the specified number of rows and columns. Numbers are zero based.
this.editor.exec("insertTable", { rows: 3, cols: 5 });
