Maybe this is a question in the wrong place. I am using Angular 8, and we need a rich text editor to be in our app. I don't know how to go about bringing it in from the other infragistics tools, can anyone guide me?
Also - we want/need to be able to include the ability to TAB within the editor - is that possible?
Hello Steven,
Thank you for posting in our community.
At this point we do not provide rich text editor out of the box. What I can suggest, in order to see this control implemented in any of our future versions, is submitting a new feature request in our GitHub repository.
Creating a feature request puts you in the driver`s seat and allows you to track the progress of your ideas at any time, read comments from other developers in the community and see if someone from the product team has additional questions for you.
Please let me know if you need any further assistance with this matter.
Thanks for your response.Is it true that I could use a Ignite UI Wrapper to make use of the editor in your JavaScript solution? Not sure how to pull it into an existing Angular 8 app.
Hello Steve,
What I can suggest for using jQuery igHtmlEditor in Angular project is Ignite UI wrappers for Angular. These are wrappers for the jQuery controls which give you the opportunity to use them in Angular projects.
More about our wrappers and how they can be used in Angular application can be found in the igniteui-angular-wrappers repository in GitHub. In the README section you will find various topics (such as Getting Started, Initializing controls, Configuring Control options etc. ) and a link to our working samples. When you open the page page under "Samples" section you will see "igHtmlEditor" tag, click it and you will see a working sample.
You have also the opportunity to explore the source code of the sample by clicking on the "Explore the Code" button.
Please have a look at this information and let me know if you need any further assistance with this matter.
We were able to use the wrapper, we are concerned about potential bloat, and having angular apps that depend on JQuery isn't great, which is why I'd really like to see it in the Infragistics Angular solution -I did create a feature request for this.
Creating the feature request is the best solution in this scenario. You can add this concerns in the request to make sure our product management team would be aware when considering your idea.
Thank you for using Infragistics components.
