Advanced: Using a bundler

For apps using a bundler, install using NPM and then import into your app.

import `tangy-form-editor/tangy-form-editor.js`

You have to copy an ace build to your root directory in order to get syntax highlighting. In an angular-cli project (as of Angular 4) you can do this by adding the following assets entry to your apps build target.

  { "glob": "**/*", "input": "../node_modules/ace-builds/src-noconflict/", "output": "./" },

Browser Compatibility

The combination of CKEditor breaking when used in Shadow DOM and Firefox / IE shadow DOM support is still behind a flag, this means this element does not currently work in Firefox and IE.

Support for translations

Follow the instructions for the tangy-translate library to enable translated or alternate labels.
