Ligature

Ligature is a WYSIWYG & Plaintext contenteditable text editor with 3 core values:

• Provide a simple interface, showing tools within the context of the writing process.
• Sections of text and media are structured in un-nested blocks.
• Flexible and robust API for integration into a wide range of text editing platforms.

Setup & Build

Development dependencies are loaded using npm. To integrate into a project with browserify, build from source using the src/ligature.js file as the entry point.

Steps to get developing:

1. npm install to get dev dependencies
2. npm run watch (live updates) OR npm run build to build the distribution file
3. npm run docs after making code changes to update the documentation
4. The Ligature JS and CSS will be built to the dist folder, which are used in the demo.

To create a new release:

1. Merge your branch into master
2. Update the package.json file with a new version, using the Semantic Versioning guidelines.
3. Create a new release in GitHub, with the same version number used in step 2.

If you're including Ligature in another project, you can now update the version number there, and run npm update ligature to fetch the new version.

Usage

TODO: Add additional config options here!

var config = {
    placeholder: 'Enter text here...',
    characterLimit: null,
    onChange: function() {
        console.log('Rich Text Changed to: ' + this.getData());
    },
    onSelection: function(selection) { },
    onClientEvent: function(e) { },
    pasteHook: function(clipboardData, shiftKey) { },
    onImageAdded: function(imgElement, file) { },
    flattenBlocks: true,
    runIFrameSanitization: false,
    filterForSetData: function(html) { return html; },
    filterForGetData: function(html) { return html; },
    filterRules: {
        elements: [ 'a', 'b', 'i', 'strike' ], // only allow these
        attributes: { // only allow these
            a: ['href', 'title'],
            img: ['src', 'alt', 'data-img-key', 'data-orig-width', 'data-orig-height']
        },
        protocols: {
            a: false, // this disables the default protocol filtering
            iframe: { src: [ 'https://', 'http://', '//' ] } // only allow these
        }
    }
};

var editableElement = $('[contenteditable]').get(0);

var richTextInstance = new Ligature.RichTextEditor(editableElement, config);

See the demo.js file for more examples of use.

Styling

All styles are in editor.css, including mapping of icon font characters. The demo.html includes two external style sheets:

1. Normalize.css
2. Font Awesome

These are not required, and are used as a base line / icon font for the interface. By modifying the editor.css file, any type of skin or styles can be created for the editor. Some generic styles are added to the editor controls for styling - do be aware that if you integrate the editor into a site that already has styles for these classes, there could be styling conflicts if not scoped appropriately.

Documentation

Docker is used to auto generate the documentation of all code comments.
