Character count

The RichTextEditor automatically counts the number of characters in the content are while typing using the showCharCount property. The characters count displayed at the bottom of the editor. You can limit the number of characters in your content using the maxLength property. By default, the editor sets the characters limit value is infinity.

The character count color will be modified based on the characters in the RichTextEditor.

Status Description
Normal Till 70% of given maxLength value, character count color is black.
Warning Once the number of character count in the RichTextEditor reached 70% of given maxLength value, the character count color will be orange, indicating that, the count value going to reach the maximum count.
Error Once the number of character count in the RichTextEditor reached 90% of given maxLength value, the character count color will be red, indicating that, the count value reached the maximum count.

To create RichTextEditor with character count feature, inject the Count module to the RTE using the RichTextEditor.Inject(Count) method.

Code view

RichTextEditor includes the ability for users to directly edit HTML code via Source View in the text area. If you made any modification in Source view directly, the changes will be reflected in the RichTextEditor’s content. So, the users will have more flexibility over the content they have created.

Undo/Redo manager

Undo and redo tools allow you to edit the text by disregard/cancel the recently made changes and restore it to previous state. It is a useful tool to restore the performed action which got changed by mistake. By default, upto 30 actions can be undo/redo in the editor.

To undo and redo operations, do one of the following:

  • Press the undo/redo button on the toolbar.
  • Press the Ctrl + Z/Ctrl + Y combination on the keyboard.

Customize the undo/redo step count using the undoRedoSteps property. By default, undo/redo actions take 300ms time interval for store the action to the undoRedoManager. The time interval can be customized by using the undoRedoTimer.

Prevention of cross-site scripting (XSS)

The Rich Text Editor allow the users to edit the content with security by preventing cross-site scripting (XSS). By default, provided built-in support to remove the elements from editor content which cause XSS attack. The editor removes the elements based on the attributes if there is possible to execute script.

In the following sample, removed script tag and onmouseover attribute from content of the Rich Text Editor.

It’s only applicable to editorMode as HTML.

Custom cross-site scripting

You can also filter the elements and attributes additionally which cause the XSS attack through beforeSanitizeHtml event. Return the value from the event argument helper function to apply in the editor. If you want to prevent the built-in support and make own cross-site scripting rules, set cancel argument as true.

The following sample demonstrate how to filter script tag from value.

Resizable support

This feature allows the editor to be resized dynamically. The users can enable or disable this feature using the enableResize property in the RichTextEditor. If enableResize is set to true, the RichTextEditor component creates grip at the bottom right corner, which allows resizing the component in the diagonal direction. The following sample demonstrates the resizable feature.

Enabling the resizable support

To render the RichTextEditor in the resizable mode, set the enableResize property to true. The above feature is built as module and hence the Resize module needs to be included in your application.

Specifying the Minimum and Maximum width and height for Resize

To have a restricted resizable area for the RichTextEditor, you need to specify the min-width, max-width, min-height, and max-height CSS properties for the control’s wrapper element. By default, the control is capable of resizing upto the current viewport. The e-richtexteditor CSS class will be available in the component’s wrapper and can be used for applying the above mentioned styles.
