ui-tinymce directive

This directive allows you to add a TinyMCE editor to your form elements.

Requirements

AngularJS
TinyMCE 4

Testing

We use karma and jshint to ensure the quality of the code. The easiest way to run these checks is to use grunt:

npm install -g grunt-cli
npm install
bower install
grunt

The karma task will try to open Chrome as a browser in which to run the tests. Make sure this is available or change the configuration in test\test.config.js

Usage

We use bower for dependency management. Add

dependencies: {
"angular-ui-tinymce": "latest"
}

To your bower.json file. Then run

bower install

This will copy the ui-tinymce files into your components folder, along with its dependencies. Load the script files in your application:

<script type="text/javascript" src="app/bower_components/tinymce/tinymce.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="app/bower_components/angular/angular.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="app/bower_components/angular-ui-tinymce/tinymce.js"></script>

Add the tinymce module as a dependency to your application module:

var myAppModule = angular.module('MyApp', ['ui.tinymce'])

Apply the directive to your form elements:

<form method="post">
  <textarea ui-tinymce ng-model="tinymceModel"></textarea>
</form>

Be sure not to set an id attribute. This is because the directive needs to maintain selector knowledge in order to handle buggy behavior in TinyMCE when DOM manipulation is involved, such as in a reordering of HTML through ng-repeat or DOM destruction/recreation through ng-if.

When using other directives which do DOM manipulation involving elements with ui-tinymce, you may need to re-render the editor due to this buggy behavior with TinyMCE. For those situations, it is recommended to use the $tinymce:refresh event, which will handle re-rendering the editor to fix this problem.

Working with ng-model

The ui-tinymce directive plays nicely with the ng-model directive such as ng-required.

If you add the ng-model directive to same the element as ui-tinymce then the text in the editor is automatically synchronized with the model value.

The ui-tinymce directive stores the configuration options as specified in the TinyMCE documentation and expects the model value to be a html string or raw text, depending on whether raw is true (default value is false).

Options

The directive supports all of the standard TinyMCE initialization options as listed here.

In addition, it supports these additional optional options

format Format to get content as, i.e. 'raw' for raw HTML, or 'text' for text only. Documentation here
trusted When true, all TinyMCE content that is set to ngModel will be whitelisted by $sce

This option is only supported when present on the uiTinymceConfig global injectable - this injectable needs to be an object.

baseUrl Sets the base url used by tinymce asset loading

myAppModule.controller('MyController', function($scope) {
  $scope.tinymceOptions = {
    onChange: function(e) {
      // put logic here for keypress and cut/paste changes
    },
    inline: false,
    plugins : 'advlist autolink link image lists charmap print preview',
    skin: 'lightgray',
    theme : 'modern'
  };
});

<form method="post">
  <textarea ui-tinymce="tinymceOptions" ng-model="tinymceModel"></textarea>
</form>
