What is @ckeditor/ckeditor5-upload?

@ckeditor/ckeditor5-upload is a plugin for CKEditor 5 that provides file upload capabilities. It allows users to upload images and other files directly within the editor, enhancing the content creation experience.

What are @ckeditor/ckeditor5-upload's main functionalities?

Simple Upload Adapter

This feature allows you to configure a simple upload adapter that sends files to a specified server endpoint. The server should handle the file storage and return the URL of the uploaded file.

ClassicEditor.create(document.querySelector('#editor'), { extraPlugins: [SimpleUploadAdapter], simpleUpload: { uploadUrl: 'https://your-upload-endpoint.com/upload' } })

Base64 Upload Adapter

This feature enables the Base64 upload adapter, which converts files to Base64 strings and embeds them directly into the content. This is useful for quick prototyping or when you don't have a server-side upload handler.

ClassicEditor.create(document.querySelector('#editor'), { extraPlugins: [Base64UploadAdapter] })

Custom Upload Adapter

This feature allows you to create a custom upload adapter by defining your own upload logic. This is useful when you need more control over the upload process or need to integrate with a specific backend service.

class MyUploadAdapter { constructor(loader) { this.loader = loader; } upload() { return this.loader.file.then(file => new Promise((resolve, reject) => { const data = new FormData(); data.append('file', file); fetch('https://your-upload-endpoint.com/upload', { method: 'POST', body: data }) .then(response => response.json()) .then(result => resolve({ default: result.url })) .catch(reject); })); } } ClassicEditor.create(document.querySelector('#editor'), { extraPlugins: [function(editor) { editor.plugins.get('FileRepository').createUploadAdapter = loader => new MyUploadAdapter(loader); }] })
