To facilitate easier development of modules that provide CKEditor 5 plugins, developers may copy the contents of this directory to the root of their module directory. This provides the basic build tools and directory structure for creating CKEditor 5 plugins within a contributed module, as well as a basic working plugin based on the CKEditor 5 block plugin tutorial but with additional documentation and minor changes for better integration with Drupal.
When Drupal updates to use newer versions of CKEditor 5, it may be necessary to update any files copied from here to your module.
Plugin source should be added to
js/ckeditor5_plugins/{pluginNameDirectory}/src and the build tools expect this
directory to include an index.js file that exports one or more CKEditor 5
plugins. Note that requiring index.js to be inside
{pluginNameDirectory}/src is not a fixed requirement of CKEditor 5 or Drupal,
but a requirement of this starter template that can be changed in
webpack.config.js as needed.
In the module directory, run yarn install to set up the necessary assets. The
initial run of install may take a few minutes, but subsequent builds will be
faster.
After installing dependencies, plugins can be built with yarn build or yarn watch. They will be built to js/build/{pluginNameDirectory}.js. co
