WProofreader plugin TinyMCE

The multilingual spelling and grammar checking solution for TinyMCE editor versions starting from v6, including the latest version 8. It provides both instant and in-dialog proofreading modes in a convenient UI.

WProofreader plugin for TinyMCE inherits all functionality of the WProofreader component with slight adaptation to the view and features of the editor. These adaptations include creating a button in the editor toolbar, listening for read-only mode switches and adding a theme adapted to the TinyMCE look and feel. For more details, visit the WProofreader repo or official web page.

Install instructions

• Install the plugin

  You can integrate the plugin using one of these methods:

  • Using CDN: Suitable for environments where no build process is involved.
  • Using npm: Recommended for projects utilizing a JavaScript bundler.

  Using CDN

  Use the external_plugins option to specify the URL-based location of the entry point file for the plugin and include it as a toolbar item using toolbar option.

  <script src="https://cdn.tiny.cloud/1/no-api-key/tinymce/8/tinymce.min.js" referrerpolicy="origin"></script>
  
  <script>
  	tinymce.init({
  		selector: '#editorElement',
  		external_plugins: {
  			wproofreader: 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@webspellchecker/wproofreader-tinymce@1.0.0/dist/plugin.min.js'
  		},
  		toolbar: '... wproofreader',
  		wproofreader: {
  			/* WProofreader config */
  		}
  	});
  </script>
  

  Using npm

  To install the plugin via npm, run the following command:

  npm install @webspellchecker/wproofreader-tinymce
  

  The plugin will be installed into the next folder: node_modules/@webspellchecker/wproofreader-tinymce/dist/plugin.min.js.

  Make the plugin accessible for application by using a web server or copying it to a public folder using a build tool. Then use the external_plugins option to specify the URL-based location of the entry point file for the plugin and include it as a toolbar item using toolbar option.

  <script src="/path/or/uri/to/tinymce.min.js" referrerpolicy="origin"></script>
  
  <script>
  	tinymce.init({
  		selector: '#editorElement',
  		external_plugins: {
  			wproofreader: '/path/or/uri/to/@webspellchecker/wproofreader-tinymce/dist/plugin.min.js'
  		},
  		toolbar: '... wproofreader',
  		wproofreader: {
  			/* WProofreader config */
  		}
  	});
  </script>
  

  Alternatively, copy the dist plugin subfolder into the TinyMCE plugins folder and rename it to wproofreader. Then use the plugins option to load the plugin and include it as a toolbar item using toolbar option.

  <script src="/path/or/uri/to/tinymce.min.js" referrerpolicy="origin"></script>
  
  <script>
  	tinymce.init({
  		selector: '#editorElement',
  		plugins: '... wproofreader',
  		toolbar: '... wproofreader',
  		wproofreader: {
  			/* WProofreader config */
  		}
  	});
  </script>
  

  For ES6 projects import the plugin to the source file and use the plugins option to load the plugin. Then include it as a toolbar item using toolbar option.

  import tinymce from 'tinymce';
  import 'tinymce/icons/default/icons.min.js';
  import 'tinymce/themes/silver/theme.min.js';
  import 'tinymce/models/dom/model.min.js';
  import 'tinymce/skins/ui/oxide/skin.js';
  import 'tinymce/skins/ui/oxide/content.js';
  import 'tinymce/skins/content/default/content.js';
  ...
  import '@webspellchecker/wproofreader-tinymce/src/plugin.js';
  ...
  
  export function render() {
  	tinymce.init({
  		selector: '#editorElement',
  		plugins: '... wproofreader',
  		toolbar: '... wproofreader',
  		wproofreader: {
  			/* WProofreader config */
  		}
  	});
  };
  

• Configure the plugin

  After installing the plugin, you need to configure it in the TinyMCE setup. The configuration is added to the wproofreader field. For a detailed list of available customization options, refer to Configuration reference.

  For the Cloud-based version of WProofreader:

  wproofreader: {
  	lang: 'en_US', // sets the default language
  	serviceId: 'your-service-ID', // required for the Cloud version only
  	srcUrl: 'https://svc.webspellchecker.net/spellcheck31/wscbundle/wscbundle.js'
  }
  

  serviceId is a mandatory parameter for activating and using the plugin pointed to the Cloud-based version of WProofreader.

  For the Server-based version of WProofreader:

  wproofreader: {
  	lang: 'en_US', // sets the default language
  	serviceProtocol: 'https',
  	serviceHost: 'localhost',
  	servicePort: '443',
  	servicePath: 'virtual_directory/api', // by default the virtual_directory is wscservice
  	srcUrl: 'https://host_name/virtual_directory/wscbundle/wscbundle.js'
  }
  

  Unlike the Cloud-based version, the serviceId parameter is not used here. Instead, it is required to specify the path to the backend entry point hosted on the client’s infrastructure.
