🚨🚨 18.10.2024 Breaking change warning 🚨🚨

On 18.10.2024 we released a new major version (v8) of the rich text editor, which was a re-write of the old codebase. This warning is not critical to users of NPM packages using versioning, but users of the unpkg bundle (http://unpkg.com/rich-text-editor/dist/rich-text-editor-bundle.js) will notice that the latest bundle of the code will not work as expected anymore. To avoid a breaking change in your system, you can set the version of the unpkg package explicitly to the last stable version of v7 as follows: http://unpkg.com/rich-text-editor@7.3.0/dist/rich-text-editor-bundle.js

Abitti.net

Use of Abitti Trademark policy

Rich text editor with math support for Finnish Matriculation Examination Board. Live demo can be found at https://math-demo.abitti.fi/

Since v4.0.0, only ES2017 code with ES modules is provided (in the dist directory). If you want to use this library, a bundler such as Webpack or Rollup is probably needed.

Usage

Usage with NPM

Install the package with npm install rich-text-editor. Rich text editor can be either used as

• a React component import RichTextEditor from 'rich-text-editor'
• or as a function in apps that are not using React import { makeRichText } from 'rich-text-editor/dist/rich-text-editor'

Most properties passed to the component or initialization function are described below. More info can be found in the types and/or source code.

Usage as CDN bundle

Add a script tag to your HTML page whose source is https://unpkg.com/rich-text-editor/dist/rich-text-editor-bundle.js, e.g. <script type="module" src="https://unpkg.com/rich-text-editor/dist/rich-text-editor-bundle.js"></script>.

This will add makeRichText to window, which can be used to initialize the editor.

The function takes the following parameters as an object:

Key	Default
container	document.getElementById('rich-text-editor-root')
language	'FI'
baseUrl	''
allowedFileTypes	['image/png', 'image/jpeg']
onValueChange	() => {}
textAreaProps	{}

Example:

{
  container: document.getElementById('rich-text-editor-root')!,
  language: 'FI',
  baseUrl: '',
  allowedFileTypes: ['image/png', 'image/jpeg'],
  onValueChange: () => {},
  textAreaProps: {},
}

textAreaProps are passed to the underlying div element that is the visible editor element, here are ones that are relevant for configuration of CDN users:

Key	type	Purpose
ariaInvalid	boolean	Add aria-invalid
ariaLabelledBy	string	Add aria-labelledby
editorStyle	React.CSSProperties	Direct CSS properties to the editor element
className	string	Additional class name(s) to the editor element
id	string	id-field to the editor element
lang	string	lang-field to the editor-element for accessibility

Goal (Read this before submitting)

Rich text editor has been developed to allow candidates of Finnish Matriculation Examination to attach screenshots and write equations as part of their submissions. Our aim is not to create a general-purpose drop-in replacement for textarea but an editor which works in Abitti and its embedded browser.

While we celebrate every bug report, feature request and pull request we kindly ask you to remember following:

• Most of the issues related to entering formulae and rendering LaTeX are caused by MathJax and MathQuill libraries. We do not have resources to write pull requests based on issues submitted to us. For similar reasons we will not pass upstream issues reported to us.
• We are not paying attention to issues or pull requests which fall outside our mission - Abitti.

We hope you understand our desire to focus on our goal specified by law.
