The Kendo UI for Vue Native Editor provides a set of built-in, user-interface tools, enables you to customize the available tools and to add custom ones.

Using Built-In Tools

To add or remove any of the available tools, use the tools prop of the Editor. All tools which are inserted in an array are rendered in a Kendo UI for Vue ButtonGroup component.

The following example demonstrates all available built-in tools of the Editor configured and displayed together.

Customizing Built-In Tools

To customize any of the built-in tools of the Editor:

  1. Based on the default tool configuration, create the desired tool settings.
  2. Pass the settings to the corresponding function which creates the tool.

In the following example, the built-in Bold tool is changed to toggle the B tag, recognize the STRONG tag, its tooltip is changed to My Custom Bold, and the icon is reused. In addition, the FontSize and FontName DropDownLists' width and items are changed.

The following example demonstrates how to customize built-in Editor tools by providing custom configurations for individual tool settings.
