npm npm npm

Knockout.js binding for Froala WYSIWYG HTML Rich Text Editor ( Version 2 )

Install

using Bower

using npm

npm install knockout-froala

Usage

to enable Froala binding on a textarea, you need to provide the following binding handlers

var viewModel = {
  comments: ko.observable(),
  options: {
    // disable wrapping content with paragraphs
    // instead <br> will be used
    enter: FroalaEditor.ENTER_DIV,

    // we like gray!
    theme: 'gray',
    toolbarButtons: [ 'bold', 'italic', 'underline' ]
  },
  events: {
    'initialized': function (e, editor) {
      console.log('INITIALIZED');
    }
  }
}

ko.applyBindings( viewModel );

Using a <textarea>

<textarea data-bind="value: comments, froala: comments, froalaOptions: options, froalaEvents: events"></textarea>

or a <div>

<div data-bind="froala: comments, froalaOptions: options, froalaEvents: events"></div>

You can also pass events

Inside knockout-froala.js-

'focus': function () {
   // this is the editor instance.
   console.log(this);
 }

Including All Plugins

Use froala_editor.pkgd.legacy.min file to include all plugins

How to use with require js

In order to use knockout-froala with require js, you require code snippet similar to following:

  1. // Froala Editor plugins list.

    var fe_plugins = ['align', 'char_counter', 'code_view', 'colors', 'draggable', 'emoticons', 'entities', 'file', 'font_family', 'font_size', 'fullscreen', 'image_manager', 'image', 'inline_style', 'line_breaker', 'link', 'lists', 'paragraph_format', 'paragraph_style', 'quote', 'save', 'table', 'url', 'video'] // Define paths. var paths = { 'app': '../app', 'FroalaEditor': '../../../bower_components/froala-wysiwyg-editor/js/froala_editor.min',

    'knockout':'../../../bower_components/knockout/dist/knockout.debug', 'knockout-froala':'../../../src/knockout-froala' }; // Add Froala Editor plugins to path. for (var i = 0; i < fe_plugins.length; i++) { paths['fe_' + fe_plugins[i]] = '../../../bower_components/froala-wysiwyg-editor/js/plugins/' + fe_plugins[i] + '.min'; } var shim = {

    }; for (var i = 0; i < fe_plugins.length; i++) { shim['fe_' + fe_plugins[i]] = { deps: ['FroalaEditor']

    } } // Init RequireJS. requirejs.config({ 'baseUrl': 'js/lib', 'paths': paths, shim: shim });

    // Load the main app module to start the app

    requirejs(["app"]);

Where: 1.fe_plugins denote list of froala plugins. 2.paths variable defines the path of all resources. 3.shim variable defines dependencies among js files. 4.app.js contains the logic of your app.

  1. Here is app.js code:

requirejs(["knockout"],function(ko) { window.ko=ko; requirejs(["FroalaEditor"],function(FroalaEditor) { window.FroalaEditor = FroalaEditor; requirejs(["knockout-froala"],function() {

requirejs(["fe_image","fe_char_counter"], function() {

(function(){ var viewModel = { html: ko.observable( '' ), options: { enter: FroalaEditor.ENTER_DIV, theme: 'gray', charCounterMax:150 } }

ko.applyBindings( viewModel, document.getElementById( 'app' ) );

})();

}) }) }) })

A Requirejs demo app is included in the repository. You can refer it for more details.
