Insert page number

You can use insertPageNumber API in editor module to insert the page number in current cursor position. By default, Page number will insert in Arabic number style. You can change it, by providing the number style in parameter.

The following example code illustrates how to insert page number in header.

import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import * as React from 'react';
import {
    DocumentEditorContainerComponent,
    Toolbar,
} from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-documenteditor';

DocumentEditorContainerComponent.Inject(Toolbar);
function App() {
    let container: DocumentEditorContainerComponent;
    function onCreated() {
        // To insert text in cursor position
        container.documentEditor.editor.insertText('Document editor');
        // To move the selection to header
        container.documentEditor.selection.goToHeader();
        // Insert page number in the current cursor position
        container.documentEditor.editor.insertPageNumber();
    }

    return (
        <DocumentEditorContainerComponent
            id="container"
            ref={(scope) => {
                container = scope;
            }}
            height={'590px'}
            serviceUrl="https://services.syncfusion.com/react/production/api/documenteditor/"
            enableToolbar={true}
            created={onCreated}
        />
    );
}
export default App;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('sample'));

        let pageCount = container.documentEditor.pageCount;
    }
