Installing

You can install from NuGet using the following command:

Install-Package Blazored.TextEditor

Or via the Visual Studio package manger.

Setup

Blazor Server applications will need to include the following CSS and JS files in their Pages\_Host.cshtml (or Pages/_Layout.cshtml if using .Net 6).

In the head tag add the following CSS.

    <link href="//cdn.quilljs.com/1.3.6/quill.snow.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <link href="//cdn.quilljs.com/1.3.6/quill.bubble.css" rel="stylesheet">

Then add the JS script at the bottom of the page using the following script tag.

    <script src="https://cdn.quilljs.com/1.3.6/quill.js"></script>
    <script src="_content/Blazored.TextEditor/quill-blot-formatter.min.js"></script>
    <script src="_content/Blazored.TextEditor/Blazored-BlazorQuill.js"></script>

NOTE If you're using Blazor WebAssembly then these need to be added to your wwwroot\index.html.

You can add the following using statement to your main _Imports.razor to make referencing the component a bit easier.

@using Blazored.TextEditor
