import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { RichTextEditorModule, ToolbarService, LinkService, ImageService, HtmlEditorService, QuickToolbarService, TableService, PasteCleanupService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-richtexteditor';
@Component({
imports: [
RichTextEditorModule
],
standalone: true,
selector: 'app-root',
template: `<ejs-richtexteditor id='editor' [toolbarSettings]='tools'></ejs-richtexteditor>`,
providers: [ToolbarService, LinkService, ImageService, HtmlEditorService, QuickToolbarService, TableService, PasteCleanupService]
})
export class AppComponent {
public tools = {
items: ['Image', 'CreateLink']
};
}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));
The Rich Text Editor validates URLs as you type in the Web Address field. Invalid URLs will be highlighted in red when you click the insert button in the
Insert Link
dialog.
Edit and remove link
To remove a hyperlink:
- Select the linked text or image.
- Click the “Remove Hyperlink” tool in the toolbar.
This action will remove the hyperlink while keeping the original text or image intact.
Auto link generation
The Rich Text Editor supports automatic link generation. When you type a URL and press Space or Enter, the editor automatically converts the typed URL into a clickable hyperlink.
Inserting a related link
By default, the URL entered in the Web Address field is automatically converted into an absolute URL by prefixing it with https:// for hyperlinks. This ensures that the URL is properly formatted and accessible when used as a hyperlink.
However, if you want to accept the given URL without validating it for hyperlinks and without automatically adding a protocol (such as https://) or domain, you need to set the enableAutoUrl property to true. By default, this property is set to false, meaning that automatic URL conversion is enabled unless explicitly disabled.
