✨ Introduction

A powerful Livewire rich text editor (WYSIWYG) component built on top of Jodit Editor, providing seamless integration with Laravel Livewire.

To use this package, you must have Livewire 3 installed.

📦 Installation

Install this package via Composer:

composer require mantix/livewire-jodit-text-editor

Include the Jodit Editor theme and the library in your layout or specific view:

<!-- Include Jodit CSS Styling -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//unpkg.com/[email protected]/es2021/jodit.min.css">

<!-- Include the Jodit JS Library -->
<script src="//unpkg.com/[email protected]/es2021/jodit.min.js"></script>

Or use NPM to install the Jodit Editor directly in your project:

npm install jodit

Import it in your app.js like:

// Jodit Editor
import 'jodit/esm/plugins/resizer/resizer'; // Resizer plugin is used when inserting images
import 'jodit/esm/plugins/video/video'; // Video plugin is used to insert videos
// Feel free to add extra plugins here...
import { Jodit } from 'jodit';
window.Jodit = Jodit;

And in your app.scss:

// Jodit Editor
@import 'jodit/es2021/jodit';

For additional information, refer to the Jodit Editor documentation.

🎬 Basic Usage

The simplest way to use the editor:

<livewire:jodit-text-editor wire:model.live="content" />

🚀 Advanced Features

Customizing Toolbar Buttons

You can customize the toolbar buttons by passing an array:

<livewire:jodit-text-editor 
    wire:model.live="content" 
    :buttons="['bold', 'italic', 'underline', 'strikeThrough', '|', 'left', 'center', 'right', '|', 'link', 'image']" 
/>

Using Multiple Editors

When using multiple editors on the same page, you can assign unique identifiers to target them individually:

<livewire:jodit-text-editor 
    wire:model.live="description" 
    identifier="description-editor" 
/>

<livewire:jodit-text-editor 
    wire:model.live="content" 
    identifier="content-editor" 
/>

Programmatically Updating Content

You can update editor content programmatically using Livewire's dispatch method:

Update all editors on the page:

// This will update all Jodit editors on the page
$this->dispatch('update-jodit-content', $newContent);

Update a specific editor:

// This will only update the editor with the specified identifier
$this->dispatch('update-jodit-content', ['description-editor', $newContent]);

🎨 Customization

The text editor component is entirely customizable. Publish the view file to customize it:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=livewire-jodit-text-editor-views

After publishing, you can edit the view at resources/views/vendor/livewire-jodit-text-editor/livewire/jodit-text-editor.blade.php.
