We are looking forward to your feedback! You can report any issues, ideas or feature requests on the integration issues page.
In order to create an editor instance in Angular, install the ckeditor4-angular npm package as a dependency of your project:
npm install --save ckeditor4-angularAfter installing, import CKEditorModule to your application:
import { CKEditorModule } from 'ckeditor4-angular';
@NgModule( {
imports: [
...
CKEditorModule,
...
],
…
} )You can now use the <ckeditor> tag in the component template to include the rich text editor:
<ckeditor data="<p>Hello, world!</p>"></ckeditor>The data attribute used in the example above is responsible for setting the editor’s data.
See the CKEditor 4 Angular Integration article and Angular examples in the CKEditor 4 documentation.
The CKEditor 4 Angular component works with all the supported browsers except for Internet Explorer 8-11.
The integration can be used together with Angular at version 5.0.0 and higher. It is an implication of Angular metadata produced for this package by the Angular builder. Note that the package.json used in the main repository isn't published on NPM (the production one is present in src/ckeditor/package.json), so there are only a few peer dependencies:
@angular/core>= 5.0.0@angular/common>= 5.0.0@angular/forms>= 5.0.0
required by this package.
Here is how you can contribute to the development of the component. Any feedback and help will be most appreciated!
All issues and feature requests should be reported in the issues section of the official GitHub repository for the CKEditor 4 Angular integration.
