Rendering modes

This section explains the rendering modes supported by the In-place Editor. Possible rendering modes are given in below.

• Popup
• Inline

By default, component will be rendered with Popup mode, when opening an editor.

• For Popup mode, editable container displays as like tooltip or popover above the element.

• For Inline mode, editable container will be displayed instead of the popup element. To render Inline mode while opening the editor, specify mode as Inline.

In the following sample, the In-place Editor renders with Inline mode. You can dynamically switch to another mode by changing the drop-down item value.

Pop-up customization

In-place Editor popup mode can be customized by using the title and model properties in popupSettings API.

Popup mode rendered by using the Essential JS2 React Tooltip component, so you can use tooltip properties and events to customize the behavior of popup via the model property of popupSettings API.

For more details, refer the tooltip documentation section.

In the following sample, popup title and position customized using the popupSettings property. All possible tooltip position data configured in the drop-down, if we change drop down item, selected value bound to model property and applied it to Tooltip component. Tooltip have following position options.

• TopLeft
• TopCenter
• TopRight
• BottomLeft
• BottomCenter
• BottomRight
• LeftTop
• LeftCenter
• LeftBottom
• RightTop
• RightCenter
• RightBottom

Event actions for editing

The event action of the editor that enable in the edit mode based on the editableOn property, by default Click is assigned, the following options are also supported.

• Click: The editor will be opened as single click actions.
• DblClick: The editor will be opened as double-click actions and it is not applicable for edit icon.
• EditIconClick: Disables the editing of event action of input and allows user to edit only through edit icon.

In-place Editor get focus by pressing the tab key from previous focusable DOM element and then by pressing enter key, the editor will be opened.

In the following sample, when switching drop-down item, the selected value assigned to the editableOn property. If you changed to DblClick, the editor will open when making a double click on the input.

Action on focus out

Action to be performed when the user clicks outside the container, that means focusing out of editable content and it can be handled by the actionOnBlur property, by default Submit assigned. It also has the following options.

• Cancel: Cancels the editing and resets the old content.
• Submit: Submits the edited content to the server.
• Ignore: No action is performed with this type and allows to edit multiple editors.

In the following sample, when switching drop-down item, the selected value assigned to the actionOnBlur property.
