Module in React Rich Text Editor

4 Sep 202513 minutes to read

The React Rich Text Editor employs a modular architecture, allowing selective inclusion of features to optimize performance and customize functionality. This approach reduces bundle size and enhances flexibility for developers adapting the editor to specific use cases.

What are modules in React Rich Text Editor?

Modules in the React Rich Text Editor are self-contained features that can be enabled or disabled based on application requirements. These modules, @syncfusion/ej2-react-richtexteditor package, can be injected to extend and enhance the editor’s functionality.

For example, modules such as Toolbar, Link, Image, HtmlEditor, and QuickToolbar enable specific tools and behavior in the Rich Text Editor interface.

How to import and inject modules

To utilize a module, in the React Rich Text Editor, you must:

Import the required module from the Syncfusion package.
Inject it using the <Inject> component inside the Rich Text Editor.

The following example demonstrates how to import and inject modules.
