Allows you to edit the content of previously created templates or designs, it does not have options to change the design.
Unlike other editors, it allows you to edit the entire document, body and head, also does not use deprecated execCommand().
For the first example I have downloaded from here the template, I have placed it on my server only adding at the end of index.html the code of the editor.
Once the editing is finished, I save the changes I receive in an index.html file to replace the downloaded one.
Same procedure for this example by downloading the template from here
Download or use the CDN, you need ncsimplehtmleditor.css and ncsimplehtmleditor.js
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/TheNocoder/ncSimpleHtmlEditor@master/ncsimplehtmleditor.css">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/TheNocoder/ncSimpleHtmlEditor@master/ncsimplehtmleditor.js"></script>It is important that all the editor code is wrapped in a div with the id "ncsedt-implement" and placed at the bottom of the page, immediately before "/body", including .js and .css.
This will start the editor with the default options:
<!-- ncsedt-implement:before -->
<div id="ncsedt-implement">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/TheNocoder/ncSimpleHtmlEditor@master/ncsimplehtmleditor.css">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/TheNocoder/ncSimpleHtmlEditor@master/ncsimplehtmleditor.js"></script>
<script>
var editor = new ncSimpleHtmlEditor();
editor.start();
</script>
</div>Better:
<!-- ncsedt-implement:before -->
<div id="ncsedt-implement">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/TheNocoder/ncSimpleHtmlEditor@master/ncsimplehtmleditor.css">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/TheNocoder/ncSimpleHtmlEditor@master/ncsimplehtmleditor.js"></script>
<script>
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
var editor = new ncSimpleHtmlEditor();
editor.start();
});
</script>
</div>With ncsedt-implement:before, dynamic changes are detected so that they can be removed before saving.
var options = {
/*
* editable selector, default "body"
*/
editable: "body",
/*
* Non-linear undo/redo history possible
*/
linearHistory: true,
/*
* Several mutations can belong to the same update in the history, they are grouped by time, in milliseconds.
*/
groupingHistory: 200,
/*
* Number of toolbar columns, by default null, as set in css
*/
toolbarCols: null,
/*
* Save button, disable on click in milliseconds
*/
saveTimeout: 500,
// Max image upload size in bytes.
// There is a big performance loss in the editor when using large base64 images.
maxImageUpload: 1200000,
/*
* Active buttons and toolbar order
*/
toolbar: ['edit', 'undo', 'redo', 'up', 'down', 'cut', 'copy', 'paste', 'code', 'link', 'image', 'head', 'save'],
};
var editor = new ncSimpleHtmlEditor(options);The editor is designed to edit the whole page (body) but there is no problem to edit a specific selector:
var editor = new ncSimpleHtmlEditor({
editable: "#id",
});For editable: ".class" only the first element found will be editable.
var options = {
buttons: {
help: {
/*
* Same a key name: "help"
*/
name: 'help',
/*
* Image for toolbar icon
*/
icon: 'help.png',
/*
* Alt text
*/
title: 'Help',
/*
* Set when the button is disabled, in this case never
*/
disabled: function () { return false },
/*
* On click action
*/
action: function () {
var link = document.createElement('a');
var ncsedt = document.querySelector('#ncsedt-implement');
link.setAttribute('href', 'https://github.com/TheNocoder/ncSimpleHtmlEditor');
link.setAttribute('target', '_blank');
ncsedt.appendChild(link);
link.click();
}
}
},
/*
* Add the button at the end of the toolbar
*/
toolbar: ['edit', 'undo', 'redo', 'up', 'down', 'cut', 'copy', 'paste', 'code', 'link', 'image', 'head', 'save', 'help']
};
var editor = new ncSimpleHtmlEditor(options);Disabled is called whenever there are changes in the editor so that you can determine when to disable the button, an example is the disabledUno function of the undo button, which is disabled whenever editing is not active and enabled if the history is not empty:
ncSimpleHtmlEditor.prototype.disabledUno = function () {
if (this.editEnable) {
if (this.historyUndo.length) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
} else {
return true;
}
};You can mark tag as "restorable" to restore dynamic changes, such as a "preloader".
There are two ways to do this, with the tag "ncsedt-restorable" or with the attribute "data-ncsedt-restorable".
To mark a code block as "restorable" we use the tag "ncsedt-restorable":
<ncsedt-restorable>
<div class="preload">
...
</div>
</ncsedt-restorable>To mark a tag as "restorable" we use the attribute data-ncsedt-restorable:
<div class="preload" data-ncsedt-restorable="true">To understand what "restorable" does, let's imagine a "preload" plugin that needs a DIV with a class at the beginning of BODY:
<div class="preload"></div>When the plugin is executed the code has changed dynamically and may look similar to this:
<div class="preload done"></div>Saving the template will also save the .done class and the preload will not be executed again.
It will not work with dynamic changes that are executed before loading the editor code.
You can mark code block as "removable" to remove block on save.
The following code block will be removed when saving the template:
<ncsedt-removable>
<div>
...
</div>
</ncsedt-removable>- editorstart: After start()
- editorchanges: When there are changes that affect the editor.
- contentchanges: When there are changes in the editable content.
- focusedchange: When the element that has the focus changes.
- isEditEnable(): Determine if editing is active, true/false.
- getFocused(): Get the current element that has the focus.
- getFocusedPrev(): Get the previous element that had the focus
- getEditable(): Get editable element.
- getClipboard(): Get clipboard content, can be null.
- getDocumentHTML(selector = null): Get the HTML with the current changes, If no selector is indicated, the complete document.
var editor = new ncSimpleHtmlEditor({
buttons: {
save: {
action: function () {
/*
* Disable editing mode to remove elements that
* should only be in edit mode.
*/
editor.editOff();
/*
* Get HTML to save
*/
var html = editor.getDocumentHTML();
// Your code to save the html here.
/*
* Restore editing mode.
*/
editor.editOn();
}
}
}
});The editor works on more than 90% of modern templates without the need to modify the template.
There are issues with dynamically generated content, such as animations, preloading, etc. Some plugins modify tag attributes dynamically so that the modified attributes are saved when the template is saved.
