0. source code

You can clone the source code from github, or using bower.

bower install pen

1. installation

1.1 init with id attribute

var editor = new Pen('#editor');

1.2 init with an element

var editor = new Pen(document.getElementById('editor'));

1.3 init with options

var options = {
  editor: document.body, // {DOM Element} [required]
  class: 'pen', // {String} class of the editor,
  debug: false, // {Boolean} false by default
  textarea: '<textarea name="content"></textarea>', // fallback for old browsers
  list: ['bold', 'italic', 'underline'] // editor menu list
}

var editor = new Pen(options);

2. configure

The following object sets up the default settings of Pen:

defaults = {
  class: 'pen',
  debug: false,
  textarea: '<textarea name="content"></textarea>',
  list: [
    'blockquote', 'h2', 'h3', 'p', 'insertorderedlist', 'insertunorderedlist',
    'indent', 'outdent', 'bold', 'italic', 'underline', 'createlink'
  ],
  stay: true
}

If you want to customize the toolbar to fit your own project, you can instanciate Pen constructor with an options object like #1.3: init with options:

2.1 Fallback for old browser

You can set defaults.textarea to a piece of HTML string, by default, it's <textarea name="content"></textarea>。This will be set as innerHTML of your #editor.

2.2 Change the editor class

Pen will add .pen to your editor by default, if you want to change the class, make sure to replace the class name pen to your own in src/pen.css.

2.3 Enable debug mode

If options.debug is set to true, Pen will output logs to the Console of your browser.

debugger

2.4 Customize the toolbar

You can set options.list to an Array, add the following strings to make your own:

  • blockquote, h2, h3, p, pre: create a tag as its literal meaning
  • insertorderedlist: create an ol>li list
  • insertunorderedlist: create a ul>li list
  • indent: indent list / blockquote block
  • outdent: outdent list / blockquote block
  • bold: wrap the text selection in a b tag
  • italic: wrap the text selection in an i tag

2.6 Disable and Re-enable editor

You can disable the pen editor by call destroy() method of the var pen = new Pen(options) object. like:
