Resizable Editor in the Angular Rich Text Editor control

5 Mar 20256 minutes to read

The resizable editor feature allows dynamic resizing of the editor. Enable or disable this feature using the enableResize property in the Rich Text Editor. When enableResize is set to true, a grip appears at the bottom right corner for diagonal resizing.

To use the Resizable feature, inject the Resize module to the Rich Text Editor using the RichTextEditor.Inject(Resize) method.

The following sample demonstrates the resizable feature.

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

let editor: RichTextEditor = new RichTextEditor({
    enableResize: true,
    value: `<p>The Syncfudion Rich Text Editor, a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor, is a user interface that allows you to create, edit, and format rich text content. You can try out a demo of this editor here.</p><p><b>Key features:</b></p><ul><li><p>Provides &lt;IFRAME&gt; and &lt;DIV&gt; modes.</p></li><li><p>Bulleted and numbered lists.</p></li><li><p>Handles images, hyperlinks, videos, hyperlinks, uploads, etc.</p></li><li><p>Contains undo/redo manager. </p></li></ul><div style='display: inline-block; width: 60%; vertical-align: top; cursor: auto;'><img alt='Sky with sun' src='https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/richtexteditor-resources/RTE-Overview.png' width='309' style='min-width: 10px; min-height: 10px; width: 309px; height: 174px;' class='e-rte-image e-imginline e-rte-drag-image' height='174' /></div>`,
});
editor.appendTo('#editor');

Setting Editor Resize Limits

To restrict the resizable area of the Rich Text Editor, set the min-width, max-width, min-height, and max-height CSS properties for the component’s wrapper element.

By default, the control resizes up to the current viewport size. Apply these styles using the e-richtexteditor CSS class in the component’s wrapper.

.e-richtexteditor {
  max-width: 880px;
  min-width: 250px;
  min-height: 250px;
  max-height: 400px;
}
import { RichTextEditor, Toolbar, Link, Image, HtmlEditor, QuickToolbar, Resize } from '@syncfusion/ej2-richtexteditor';
RichTextEditor.Inject(Toolbar, Link, Image, HtmlEditor, QuickToolbar, Resize);

let editor: RichTextEditor = new RichTextEditor({
    enableResize: true,
    value: `<p>The Syncfudion Rich Text Editor, a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor, is a user interface that allows you to create, edit, and format rich text content. You can try out a demo of this editor here.</p><p><b>Key features:</b></p><ul><li><p>Provides &lt;IFRAME&gt; and &lt;DIV&gt; modes.</p></li><li><p>Bulleted and numbered lists.</p></li><li><p>Handles images, hyperlinks, videos, hyperlinks, uploads, etc.</p></li><li><p>Contains undo/redo manager. </p></li></ul><div style='display: inline-block; width: 60%; vertical-align: top; cursor: auto;'><img alt='Sky with sun' src='https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/richtexteditor-resources/RTE-Overview.png' width='309' style='min-width: 10px; min-height: 10px; width: 309px; height: 174px;' class='e-rte-image e-imginline e-rte-drag-image' height='174' /></div>`,
});
