Imperavi for Rails 3.1 and 3.2

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/ . Like it?

I created this mountable engine with Imperavi so now you can easily integrate this editor into your app.

Installation

Put this gem into your Gemfile and run bundle install

gem 'imperavi-rails', '0.0.12.beta'

Then run install generator:

rails generate imperavi_rails:install

And you're done!

Usage

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;
    }
  }
}

Deal with images

Image uploading at the server side is not a part of the imperavi-rails. You have to implement this functionality in your application by yourself. It's easy. Read the docs below.
