wysiwyg-js v0.1.2

Wysiwyg.JS for NPM

Based on a delicious Wysiwyg.JS: http://wysiwygjs.github.io/

wysiwyg.js

'wysiwyg.js' is a contenteditable-editor with no dependencies. It does only:

• Transforms any HTML-element into contenteditable
• onselection-event: e.g. to open a toolbar
• onkeypress-event: e.g. to handle hotkeys
• onplaceholder-event: show/hide a placeholder
• handle popups
• .bold(), .forecolor(), .inserthtml(), ... functions

It works with:

• Internet Explorer 6+
• Firefox 3.5+
• Chrome 4+
• Safari 3.1+

If a <textarea> was used as 'element', the library:

• keeps the <textarea> in sync
• falls back to the <textarea> if the browser does not support 'contenteditable'
• Old iOS and Android 2.3- also degrade to <textarea>

This is the base library for a jQuery-plugin which is a featured editor with a toolbar and bundled popups.

The original library is used on a website with 300M page impressions a month.

wysiwyg.js-API:

// create wysiwyg:
var wysiwygeditor = wysiwyg({
    element: 'editor-id' || document.getElementById('editor-id'),
    onKeyDown: function( key, character, shiftKey, altKey, ctrlKey, metaKey ) {
        },
    onKeyPress: function( key, character, shiftKey, altKey, ctrlKey, metaKey ) {
        },
    onKeyUp: function( key, character, shiftKey, altKey, ctrlKey, metaKey ) {

    hijackContextmenu: false
});

// properties:
wysiwygeditor.getElement();
wysiwygeditor.getHTML(); -> 'html'
wysiwygeditor.setHTML( html );
wysiwygeditor.getSelectedHTML(); -> 'html'|false
wysiwygeditor.sync();
wysiwygeditor.readOnly(); // -> query
wysiwygeditor.readOnly( true|false );

// selection and popup:
wysiwygeditor.collapseSelection();
wysiwygeditor.expandSelection( preceding, following );

wysiwygeditor.insertLink( url );
wysiwygeditor.insertImage( url );
wysiwygeditor.insertHTML( html );
wysiwygeditor.insertList( ordered );

This is the base library for a jQuery-plugin which is a featured editor with a toolbar and bundled popups. That is now under development.
