Kendo UI for Angular

Overview

The Kendo UI for Angular Editor is a Rich Text Editor component, alternatively called a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) component. The Angular Editor helps users create rich text within any Angular application. The Editor features a large set of available tools and functionality out of the box to help create and manipulate text. Beyond built-in functionality, the Angular Editor also features various extension points to help developers create their own custom tools and extend the behavior of the Editor itself.

Getting and Setting HTML Content

The Kendo UI for Angular Editor allows developers to get and set the content of the Editor programmatically. Thanks to this, loading and saving content to a database, or even manipulating the content before or after users have edited the Angular Editor’s content, can be implemented with ease.
Placeholders

Use placeholders to define initial text to be displayed in the input area of an Angular editor. A typical example is displaying “Enter text here” to direct a user to add their information.
Resizing

By default, the Angular Rich Text editor is not resizable, but there are cases where end-users would like to adjust their work area to be bigger or smaller. For that case, all you need to do is set the resizable option to true. You can restrict the dimensions to keep the Editor in a particular space or set no limits at all.

See the Angular Rich Text Editor Resizable demo
Plugins Support

The Angular Editor Component users the ProseMirror plug-in system which allows you to build your own features. See the demos linked below for examples that include tools that pop up when text is highlighted and input rules that transforms text when it matches conditions.

Forms Support

The Kendo UI for Angular Editor can easily be integrated with any existing Angular applications thanks to support for both Template-driven forms and Reactive forms.

Retrieve Selected Text

For your convenience, the Angular Rich Text Editor includes a field, selectionText, that automatically populates with any text the user selects. This is very useful when integrating with other components.

Globalization

The Kendo UI for Angular Editor has many built-in strings, often served through tooltips, to provide users with more context for each tool of the Angular Editor.

Additionally, the Kendo UI for Angular Editor enables text to be rendered right to left.
