Add Google fonts

To use web fonts in RTE, it is not needed for the web fonts to be present in local machine. To add the web fonts to RTE, we need to refer the web font links and add the font names in the fontFamily property.

The below font style links are referred in the page.

Copied to clipboard
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Great+Vibes">

In the above sample, you can see that we have added two Google web fonts (Roboto and Great vibes) to RTE.

Change default font-family

By using default property, you can change the default font-family of the RTE. To change the font-family of the RTE content while loading, we need to give the font-family in the style section with the help of cssClass property.

Customize shortcut keys

It can be achieved by using formatter property. We need to create customformatterModel to configure the keyConfig using IHtmlFormatterModel class and assign the same to the formatter property. Here, ctrl+q is configured to open the Insert Hyperlink dialog.

<script>
  import Vue from 'vue';
  import { RichTextEditorPlugin, Toolbar, Link, Image, HtmlEditor, QuickToolbar, IHtmlFormatterModel, HTMLFormatter } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-richtexteditor';

  Vue.use(RichTextEditorPlugin);

  export default {
    data() {
    var customHTMLModel = {
  keyConfig: {
'insert-link': 'ctrl+q', // confite the desired key
}
}
      return {
        placeholder: "Type Something",
        formatter: new HTMLFormatter(customHTMLModel), // to configure custom key
    }
    },
    provide: {
      richtexteditor: [Toolbar, Link, Image, HtmlEditor, QuickToolbar]
    }
  }
</script>

<style>
    @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2/material.css';
</style>

{% endtab %}

We need to import IHtmlFormatterModel and HTMLFormatter to configure the shortcut key.

Capture ctrl+s to update the value

To achieve this, we need to bind the keydown event to the RTE content and capture the ctrl + s key press using its keyCode. In the keydown event handler, the updateValue method is called to update the value property and then we can save the content in the required database using the same.

How to customize the placeholder style

By using rte-placeholder class, you can customize the placeholder style.

            font-family: monospace;
            color: deeppink;
        }
    </style>
</template>

<script>
  import Vue from 'vue';
  import { RichTextEditorPlugin, Toolbar, Link, Image, HtmlEditor, QuickToolbar } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-richtexteditor';

  Vue.use(RichTextEditorPlugin);

  export default {
    data() {
      return {
          placeholder: "Type Something",
      }
    },
    provide: {
      richtexteditor: [Toolbar, Link, Image, HtmlEditor, QuickToolbar]
    }
  }
</script>

<style>
    @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2/material.css';
</style>

Set the cursor at the specific range

This can be achieved by using setRange method in the RTE using NodeSelection instance. In this below sample, we have passed the text node (specific location in RTE content) in setStart method and passed the range in setRange method of RTE.

      let element = instance.contentModule.getDocument().getElementById("key");
      let selectioncursor = new NodeSelection();
      let range = document.createRange();
      range.setStart(element, 1); // to set the range
      selectioncursor.setRange(document, range); // to set the cursor
     }
    },
