How to Use

Download the latest release or via npm:

npm install jodit

You will get the following files:

• Inside /esm: ESM version of the editor (compatible with tools like webpack)
• Inside /es5, /es2015, /es2018, /es2021: UMD bundled files (not minified)
• Inside /es5, /es2015, /es2018, /es2021 with .min.js extension: UMD bundled and minified files
• types/index.d.ts: This file specifies the API of the editor. It is versioned, while everything else is considered private and may change with each release.

Include Jodit in Your Project

Include the following two files:

ES5 Version:

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="es2015/jodit.min.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="es2015/jodit.min.js"></script>

ES2021 Version (for modern browsers only):

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="es2021/jodit.min.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="es2021/jodit.min.js"></script>

ESM Modules:

<script type="importmap">
  {
    "imports": {
      "autobind-decorator": "https://unpkg.com/autobind-decorator@2.4.0/lib/esm/index.js"
    }
  }
</script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./node_modules/jodit/es2021/jodit.min.css" />
<script type="module">
  import { Jodit } from './node_modules/jodit/esm/index.js';
  Jodit.make('#editor', {
    width: 600,
    height: 400
  });
</script>

The ESM modules automatically include only the basic set of plugins and the English language. You can manually include additional plugins and languages as needed.

<script type="importmap">
  {
    "imports": {
      "autobind-decorator": "https://unpkg.com/autobind-decorator@2.4.0/lib/esm/index.js"
    }
  }
</script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./node_modules/jodit/es2021/jodit.min.css" />
<script type="module">
  import { Jodit } from './node_modules/jodit/esm/index.js';
  import './node_modules/jodit/esm/plugins/add-new-line/add-new-line.js';
  import './node_modules/jodit/esm/plugins/fullsize/fullsize.js';
  import de from './node_modules/jodit/esm/langs/de.js';

  Jodit.langs.de = de;

  Jodit.make('#editor', {
    width: 600,
    height: 400,
    language: 'de'
  });
</script>

Usage

Add a textarea element to your HTML:

<textarea id="editor" name="editor"></textarea>

Initialize Jodit on the textarea:

const editor = Jodit.make('#editor');
editor.value = '<p>start</p>';

Create plugin

Jodit.plugins.yourplugin = function (editor) {
  editor.events.on('afterInit', function () {
    editor.s.insertHTMl('Text');
  });
};

Add custom button

const editor = Jodit.make('.someselector', {
  extraButtons: [
    {
      name: 'insertDate',
      iconURL: 'https://xdsoft.net/jodit/logo.png',
      exec: function (editor) {
        editor.s.insertHTML(new Date().toDateString());
        editor.synchronizeValues(); // For history saving
      }
    }
  ]
});

or

const editor = Jodit.make('.someselector', {
  buttons: ['bold', 'insertDate'],
  controls: {
    insertDate: {
      name: 'insertDate',
      iconURL: 'https://xdsoft.net/jodit/logo.png',
      exec: function (editor) {
        editor.s.insertHTML(new Date().toDateString());
      }
    }
  }
});

button with plugin

Jodit.plugins.add('insertText', function (editor) {
  editor.events.on('someEvent', function (text) {
    editor.s.insertHTMl('Hello ' + text);
  });
});

// or

Jodit.plugins.add('textLength', {
  init(editor) {
    const div = editor.create.div('jodit_div');
    editor.container.appendChild(div);
    editor.events.on('change.textLength', () => {
      div.innerText = editor.value.length;
    });
  },
  destruct(editor) {
    editor.events.off('change.textLength');
  }
});

// or use class

Jodit.plugins.add(
  'textLength',
  class textLength {
    init(editor) {
      const div = editor.create.div('jodit_div');
      editor.container.appendChild(div);
      editor.events.on('change.textLength', () => {
        div.innerText = editor.value.length;
      });
    }
    destruct(editor) {
      editor.events.off('change.textLength');
    }
  }
);

const editor = Jodit.make('.someselector', {
  buttons: ['bold', 'insertText'],
  controls: {
    insertText: {
      iconURL: 'https://xdsoft.net/jodit/logo.png',
      exec: function (editor) {
        editor.events.fire('someEvent', 'world!!!');
      }
    }
  }
});

FileBrowser and Uploader

For testing FileBrowser and Uploader modules, need install PHP Connector

composer create-project --no-dev jodit/connector

Run test PHP server

php -S localhost:8181 -t ./

and set options for Jodit:

const editor = Jodit.make('#editor', {
  uploader: {
    url: 'http://localhost:8181/index-test.php?action=fileUpload'
  },
  filebrowser: {
    ajax: {
      url: 'http://localhost:8181/index-test.php'
    }
  }
});
