ng-quill

ng-quill is an Angular.js component for Quill rich text editor. You can get an ugly as hell demo here: ngQuill in action or with AMD (RequireJS) ngQuill requirejs

The new version is complete rewritten and is using QuillJS 1.x. For the latest old version (0.20.1) checkout the special branch for it.

Installation

• npm install ng-quill
• or download zip from release page: https://github.com/KillerCodeMonkey/ngQuill/releases
• or grab the latest release from cdn: https://cdnjs.com/libraries/ng-quill

Usage

• load angular, quill, ngquill scripts in your index.html
• original sources are in src-folder, build files are in dist-folder
• add dependency to your app module var myAppModule = angular.module('quillTest', ['ngQuill']);
• use ngQuillConfigProvider to overwrite global settings in your config-Block
• use ngquill directive in your html <ng-quill-editor ng-model="message"></ng-quill-editor>
• add this line to your css [ng-quill-editor] { display: block; }
• if you use it in a form and you are resetting it via $setPristine() -> you have to set editor.setHTML('') -> it will add the error class only, if the model has ng-dirty class
• add a custom toolbar using ng-quill-toolbar - it uses transclusion to add toolbar, avoids flickering and sets the modules toolbar config to the custom toolbar automatically:

<ng-quill-editor
    ng-model="title"
>
    <ng-quill-toolbar>
        <div>
            <span class="ql-formats">
                <button class="ql-bold" ng-attr-title="{{'Bold'}}"></button>
            </span>
            <span class="ql-formats">
                <select class="ql-align" ng-attr-title="{{'Aligment'}}">
                    <option selected></option>
                    <option value="center"></option>
                    <option value="right"></option>
                    <option value="justify"></option>
                </select>
                <select class="ql-align">
                    <option selected></option>
                    <option value="center"></option>
                    <option value="right"></option>
                    <option value="justify"></option>
                </select>
            </span>
        </div>
    </ng-quill-toolbar>
</ng-quill-editor>

Configuration

• use ngQuillConfigProvider.set({modules: { ... }, theme: 'snow', placeholder: 'placeholder', formats: { ... }, bounds: document.body, readyOnly: false) to config toolbar module, other modules, default theme, allowed formats, ...
• set theme name: theme="snow" (default: 'snow')
• set readOnly: read-only="" (default: false) - requires true or false
• overwrite global config for each editor: modules="modulesConfig"
• set placeholder: placeholder="Inser your text here" or placeholder=" " for empty string
• set bounds: bounds="...", change the default boundary element of the editor (document.body)
• override formats: formats="formatsArray", per default all quill formats are allowed
• set max-length: max-length="5", adds validation for maxlength (sets model state to invalid and adds ng-invalid-maxlength class)
• set min-length: min-length="5", adds validation for minlength (sets model state to invalid and adds ng-invalid-minlength class), only works for values > 1, if you only want to check if there is a value --> use required/ng-required
• set strict: activate/deactivate strict editor mode (default: true)
• set scrollingContainer: set html element or css selector that gets the scrollbars

Callback/Outputs

• onEditorCreated: triggered after editor is created and provides editor-object on-editor-created="myCallback(editor)"
• onContentChanged: triggered after changes in the editor. Provides editor-object, html representation and text representation on-content-changed="myCallback(editor, html, text, delta, oldDelta, source)"
• onSelectionChanged: triggered after text selection changed on-selection-changed="myCallback(editor, range, oldRange, source)"

Advanced Usage and Configuration

After editor creation you can use everything from the ordinary quill editor -> listen to editorCreated and work with the editor instance in your controller like you want ;). Add modules, use the quill API or listen to Events. Keep in mind to use $timeout if you are listening / working with quill-Events and updating some $scope stuff to notify angular about it ;).
