Quick start

Install component

It is like installing any other editor npm install react-froala-editor

Use straight away:

var React = require('react');
var FroalaEditor = require('react-froala-editor');

var MyComponent = React.createClass({
  /* ... */

  render: function() {
    return (
      <FroalaEditor 
        base='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/froala-editor/2.3.4'
        value={this.state.value} />
    );
  }
});

Set a base for your froala files

In this repository we do not include any froala file, it is up to you to have them served.

It can be a remote path, like the example https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/froala-editor/2.3.4 or it can be the absolute path (without trailing /) of your webserver like or /froala which means that if you go to https://yoursite.com/froala you would since the files of froala.

Pass some configuration to froala

Froala is a very customizable editor and to do so you can pass a json of configuration to it and you can do that as well with this component like follows:

 var React = require('react');
 var FroalaEditor = require('react-froala-editor');

 var MyComponent = React.createClass({
   /* ... */

   render: function() {
     return (
       <FroalaEditor 
         base='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/froala-editor/2.3.4'
         value={this.state.value}
         config={{charCounterMax: 140}} />
     );
   }
 });
