What is Imperavi? Imperavi is open-source, lightweight and really pretty-looking wysiwyg editor written with JQuery. Look at the demo page: http://imperavi.com/redactor/examples/ (sorry for Russian). Like it?
I created this mountable engine with Imperavi so now you can easily integrate this editor into your app.
Put this line into your Gemfile:
gem 'imperavi-rails', '0.0.9.beta'
Then run install generator:
rails generate imperavi_rails:install
add this line to config/environments/production.rb
config.assets.precompile += ['imperavi-rails/imperavi/redactor.css', 'imperavi-rails/imperavi.js']
And you're done!
Add this helpers into the your view that contains a form:
<%= include_imperavi_stylesheet %>
<%= include_imperavi_javascript %>
<%= imperavi :page_article %>
In this example page_article
is an id of textarea field. You can pass additional options to imperavi
helper as second argument. See the full list of options here: https://github.com/tanraya/imperavi-rails/blob/master/app/helpers/imperavi_rails/imperavi_helper.rb#L35
You may want the text on your page to be styled the same way as it looks in the editor. To do this, add the following styles into your application.css.scss
(provided that the text on the page is enclosed with article
tag):
@import "imperavi-rails/imperavi/imperavi-base";
body {
width: 700px;
margin: 0 auto;
article {
overflow: hidden;
@include imperavi-base;
p, div {
border: 0;
}
p {
padding: 0;
margin: 0 0 1.5em 0;
}
}
form {
textarea {
width: 700px;
height: 600px;
}
}
}
Uploading images is not part of the imperavi-rails. You have to implement this functionality in your application yourself. It's easy. Read the docs below.
Also you can see Dummy app that has working images uploading: https://github.com/tanraya/imperavi-rails/tree/master/spec/dummy
