Save in EJ2 TypeScript Rich text editor control

18 Apr 20235 minutes to read

To achieve this, we need to bind the keydown event to the Rich Text Editor content and capture the ctrl + s key press using its keyCode.
In the keydown event handler, the updateValue method is called to update the value property and then we can save the content in the required database using the same.

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

let defaultRTE: RichTextEditor = new RichTextEditor({});
defaultRTE.appendTo('#defaultRTE');

defaultRTE.contentModule.getDocument().addEventListener("keydown",function(e: any):void{
  if(e.key === 's' && e.ctrlKey===true){
        e.preventDefault(); // to prevent default ctrl+s action
        defaultRTE.updateValue(); // to update the value after editing
        let value: any= defaultRTE.value; // you can get the RTE content to save in the desired database
  }
});
