Why Summernote?

Summernote has a few special features:

  • Simple UI
  • Interactive WYSIWYG editing
  • Handy integration with server

Installation and dependencies

Summernote uses opensource libraries: jQuery, Bootstrap, Font Awesome.

For Meteor, just run meteor add summernote:summernote. More info in the Meteor README.

For other/no frameworks:

1. include JS/CSS

Include the following code in the <head> tag of your HTML:

<!-- include libraries(jQuery, bootstrap, fontawesome) -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script> 
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.0.3/css/font-awesome.min.css" />

<!-- include summernote css/js-->
<link href="summernote.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="summernote.min.js"></script>

2. target elements

Then place a div tag somewhere in the body tag. This element will be replaced with the summernote editor.

<div id="summernote">Hello Summernote</div>

  $('#summernote').summernote();
});
