18 Apr 20236 minutes to read

The following sample demonstrates how to get the Rich Text Editor value in button click.

Render the Rich Text Editor

Render the Rich Text Editor in form.

<form id="myForm" class="form-vertical">
<div class="form-group">
<textarea id="defaultRTE" name="defaultRTE" required maxlength="100" minlength="20" data-msg-containerid="dateError">      </textarea>
<div id="dateError" style="padding-top: 10px"></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center">
<button id="validateSubmit" class="samplebtn e-control e-btn" type="submit" data-ripple="true">Submit</button>
<button id="resetbtn" class="samplebtn e-control e-btn" type="reset" data-ripple="true">Reset</button>
</div>
</form>

Obtain the value

Upon submitting the form, the getValue method will be triggered. Through the FormData class, get the Rich Text Editor value.

import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
enableRipple(true);

import { RichTextEditor, Toolbar, Link, Image, HtmlEditor, Count, QuickToolbar } from '@syncfusion/ej2-richtexteditor';
import { FormValidator } from '@syncfusion/ej2-inputs';
RichTextEditor.Inject(Toolbar, Link, Image, HtmlEditor, Count, QuickToolbar);

let defaultRTE: RichTextEditor = new RichTextEditor({ showCharCount: true, maxLength: 100, placeholder: 'Type something' });
defaultRTE.appendTo('#defaultRTE');

let formObject = new FormValidator('#form-element');

document.getElementById('validateSubmit').onclick = function (){
  getValue();
}

function getValue(){
  let form = document.getElementById('form-element');
  let formData = new FormData(form);
  let rteValue = formData.get('defaultRTE');
  alert(rteValue);//Store the value to the data base.
}
