In this article, we will know about the Summernote Editor & its usage along with will understand its implementation through the example. The Summernote Editor is a free & open-source super simple WYSIWYG editor based on Bootstrap & jQuery. It is a JavaScript library that can be useful to build the WYSIWYG editors online. It is maintained under MIT license by a large community. It is easy to use & contains many customizable options. It can easily be implemented in any framework like React, Django, Angular, etc.
Features:
- Lightweight Rich Text Editor
- Easy installation
- Easy integration with any framework
- Simple UI
- Lots of customization available.
- Free & Open-source
- Interactive WYSIWYG editing
There are 2 ways to use the Summernote Editor on our web page:
- Using the downloaded precompiled and minified versions of CSS and JavaScript files from their official site.
- Using the available CDN links for summernote CSS & js, jQuery, and Bootstrap.
We can use either of the methods to build the static site with the text editor and the content.
Approach:
- First, download the minified precompiled version of Summernote from the official website.
- Extract it & place it in the current working folder.
- Create an index.html file & declare the Bootstrap & jQuery links inside the <head> tag.
- After completing these steps, the project structure will look like the following image.
Import the Summernote:
- First, let us import the Bootstrap from CDNs in the index.html file. All the following codes should be placed inside the Head Tags.
<!– Include libraries(jQuery, bootstrap) –>
<link href=”https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css” rel=”stylesheet”/>
<script src=”https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js”></script>
<script src=”https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/js/bootstrap.min.js”></script>
- Next import the summernote CSS and JS files.
<link href=”/src/summernote-0.8.18-dist/summernote-bs4.min.css” rel=”stylesheet”/>
<script src=”/src/summernote-0.8.18-dist/summernote-bs4.min.js”></script>
- Now in the <body> tag, initialize the summernote editor.
<div id=”myeditor”></div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#myeditor").summernote({
placeholder: "Write your content here",
height: 200,
});
});
</script>
Now, our Text Editor has been initialized.
