import '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-theme-lark/theme/ckeditor.css';
ClassicEditor.create(document.querySelector('#editor'), {
plugins: [ Essentials, Paragraph, Bold, Italic ],
toolbar: [ 'bold', 'italic' ]
})
.then(editor => {
console.log('Editor was initialized', editor);
})
.catch(error => {
console.error(error.stack);

Customizing Theme Styles

import '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-theme-lark/theme/ckeditor.css';
const customStyles = `
.ck-editor__editable {
background-color: #f0f0f0;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
padding: 10px;
}
.ck-toolbar {
background-color: #333;
color: #fff;
}
`;
const styleSheet = document.createElement('style');
styleSheet.type = 'text/css';
styleSheet.innerText = customStyles;
document.head.appendChild(styleSheet);
