Quick start

CKEditor 5 builds

CKEditor 5 builds are a set of ready-to-use rich text editors. Every "build" provides a single type of editor with a set of features and a default configuration.

The following CKEditor 5 builds are currently available:

Example

Creating an editor using a CKEditor 5 build is very simple and can be described in two steps:

  1. Load the desired editor via the <script> tag.
  2. Call the static create() method to create the editor.

In your HTML page add an element that CKEditor should replace:

<div id="editor"></div>

Load the classic editor build (you can choose between CDN, npm and zip downloads):

<script src="https://cdn.ckeditor.com/ckeditor5/<version>/classic/ckeditor.js"></script>

Call the ClassicEditor.create() method:

<script>
    ClassicEditor
        .create( document.querySelector( '#editor' ) )
        .catch( error => {
            console.error( error );
        } );
</script>

You’re ready to go!

To find out how to start with other builds check the Quick start guide in the CKEditor 5 documentation.

CKEditor 5 Framework
