Getting started in EJ2 JavaScript Document editor control

6 Jul 202423 minutes to read

The Essential JS 2 for JavaScript (global script) is an ES5 formatted pure JavaScript framework which can be directly used in latest web browsers.

Component Initialization

The Essential JS 2 JavaScript components can be initialized by using either of the following ways.

Using local script and style references in a HTML page.
Using CDN link for script and style reference.

Using local script and style references in a HTML page

Step 1: Create an app folder app for Essential JS 2 JavaScript components.

Step 2: You can get the global scripts and styles from the Essential Studio JavaScript (Essential JS 2) build installed location.

Syntax:

Script: **(installed location)**/JavaScript - EJ2/{RELEASE_VERSION}/Web (Essential JS 2)/JavaScript/{PACKAGE_NAME}/dist/global/{PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js

Styles: **(installed location)**/JavaScript - EJ2/{RELEASE_VERSION}/Web (Essential JS 2)/JavaScript/{PACKAGE_NAME}/styles/material.css

Example:

Script: C:/Program Files (x86)/Syncfusion/Essential Studio/JavaScript - EJ2/23.1.36/Web (Essential JS 2)/JavaScript/ej2-documenteditor/dist/global/ej2-documenteditor.min.js

Styles: C:/Program Files (x86)/Syncfusion/Essential Studio/JavaScript - EJ2/23.1.36/Web (Essential JS 2)/JavaScript/ej2-documenteditor/styles/material.css

Step 3: Create a folder app/resources and copy/paste the global scripts and styles from the above installed location to app/resources location.

Step 4: Create a HTML page (index.html) in app location and add the Essentials JS 2 script and style references.

Step 5: Now, add the Div element and initiate the Essential JS 2 DocumentEditor component in the index.html by using following code

      <!-- EJ2 Document Editor script -->
      <script src="resources/scripts/ej2-documenteditor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <!--element which is going to render-->
        <div id='DocumentEditor'></div>
    <script>
        // Initialize DocumentEditor component.
        var documenteditor = new ej.documenteditor.DocumentEditor({ isReadOnly: false, serviceUrl: 'https://services.syncfusion.com/js/production/api/documenteditor/' });

        documenteditor.acceptTab = true;

        //Enable all the built in modules.
        documenteditor.enableAllModules();
        documenteditor.pageOutline = '#E0E0E0';

        //Documenteditor control rendering starts
        documenteditor.appendTo('#DocumentEditor');
    </script>
  </body>
  </html>

The Web API hosted link https://services.syncfusion.com/js/production/api/documenteditor/ utilized in the Document Editor’s serviceUrl property is intended solely for demonstration and evaluation purposes. For production deployment, please host your own web service with your required server configurations. You can refer and reuse the GitHub Web Service example or Docker image for hosting your own web service and use for the serviceUrl property.

Step 6: Now, run the index.html in web browser, it will render the Essential JS 2 DocumentEditor component.

Step 7: To render DocumentEditorContainer component, add the Div element and initiate the Essential JS 2 DocumentEditorContainer component in the index.html by using following code

  <!DOCTYPE html>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

      <!--element which is going to render-->
      <div id='DocumentEditor' style='height:620px'>

      </div>
      <script>
          // Initialize DocumentEditorContainer component.
          var documenteditorContainer = new ej.documenteditor.DocumentEditorContainer({ enableToolbar: true });

          //Inject require modules.
          ej.documenteditor.DocumentEditorContainer.Inject(ej.documenteditor.Toolbar);
          documenteditorContainer.serviceUrl = 'https://services.syncfusion.com/js/production/api/documenteditor/';
          //DocumentEditorContainer control rendering starts
          documenteditorContainer.appendTo('#DocumentEditor');
      </script>
    </body>
  </html>

The Web API hosted link https://services.syncfusion.com/js/production/api/documenteditor/ utilized in the Document Editor’s serviceUrl property is intended solely for demonstration and evaluation purposes. For production deployment, please host your own web service with your required server configurations. You can refer and reuse the GitHub Web Service example or Docker image for hosting your own web service and use for the serviceUrl property.

Now, run the index.html in web browser, it will render the Essential JS 2 DocumentEditorContainer component.

Using CDN link for script and style reference

Step 1: Create an app folder app for the Essential JS 2 JavaScript components.

Step 2: The Essential JS 2 component’s global scripts and styles are already hosted in the below CDN link formats.

Syntax:

Script: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/23.1.36/{PACKAGE_NAME}/dist/global/{PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js

Styles: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/23.1.36/{PACKAGE_NAME}/styles/material.css

Example:

Script: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/23.1.36/ej2-documenteditor/dist/global/ej2-documenteditor.min.js

Styles: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/23.1.36/ej2-documenteditor/styles/material.css

Step 3: Create a HTML page (index.html) in app location and add the CDN link references. Now, add the Div element and initiate the Essential JS 2 DocumentEditor component in the index.html by using following code.
