Django Froala WYSIWYG Editor

Getting started

  1. Install the package:

pip install django-froala-editor

if not update in pypi use this

pip install https://github.com/froala/django-froala-editor/archive/master.zip

OR

Add the directory froala_editor from this repo to your Python path.

  1. Add froala_editor to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.

  2. Add the following line to urlpatterns in your application's urls.py.

  url(r'^froala_editor/', include('froala_editor.urls')),

Skip this url inclusion if you don't want image and file upload inside WYSIWYG editor. Images from URLs can still be embedded.

Usage

from django.db import models
from froala_editor.fields import FroalaField

class Page(models.Model):
  content = FroalaField()

FroalaField uses froala_editor.widgets.FroalaEditor as its widget. You may directly use this widget with any of your forms.py:

from django import forms
from froala_editor.widgets import FroalaEditor

class PageForm(forms.ModelForm):
  content = forms.CharField(widget=FroalaEditor)

Usage outside admin

When used outside the Django admin, the media files are to be manually included in the template. Inside the <head> section or before the form is rendered, include:

{{ form.media }}

Options

Froala Editor provides several options for customizing the editor. See https://froala.com/wysiwyg-editor/docs for all available options. You can provide a dictionary of these options as FROALA_EDITOR_OPTIONS setting in settings.py. These options would then be used for all instances of the WYSIWYG editor in the project.

Options for individual field can also be provided via FroalaField or FroalaEditor class. This overrides any options set via FROALA_EDITOR_OPTIONS:

from django.db import models
from froala_editor.fields import FroalaField

class Page(models.Model):
  content = FroalaField(options={
    'toolbarInline': True,
  })
from django import forms
from froala_editor.widgets import FroalaEditor

class PageForm(forms.ModelForm):
  content = forms.TextField(widget=FroalaEditor(options={
    'toolbarInline': True,
  }))

Theme

You may provide the name of the theme to be used as theme argument to FroalaField or FroalaEditor.

from django.db import models
from froala_editor.fields import FroalaField

class Page(models.Model):
  content = FroalaField(theme='dark')

FROALA_EDITOR_THEME can be set in settings.py making all instances of the editor to use a theme. However, theme argument in FroalaField and FroalaEditor overrides FROALA_EDITOR_THEME. Using a theme named 'dark' would require the existence of the file froala_editor/static/froala_editor/css/themes/dark.min.css. Available themes are: 'dark', 'gray' and 'red'.


Plugins

Froala Editor comes with the plugins: block style, text & background colors, font size, font family, insert video, insert table, media manager, lists and file upload. By default, all plugins are enabled by default in this package. See https://froala.com/wysiwyg-editor/docs/plugins for all available plugins.

FROALA_EDITOR_PLUGINS can be set in settings.py to tell which plugins should all instances of Froala Editor be using. By default, it is

FROALA_EDITOR_PLUGINS = ('align', 'char_counter', 'code_beautifier' ,'code_view', 'colors', 'draggable', 'emoticons',
        'entities', 'file', 'font_family', 'font_size', 'fullscreen', 'image_manager', 'image', 'inline_style',
        'line_breaker', 'link', 'lists', 'paragraph_format', 'paragraph_style', 'quick_insert', 'quote', 'save', 'table',
        'url', 'video')

The usage of plugins argument with FroalaEditor or FroalaField overrides this for that particular instance.

from django.db import models
from froala_editor.fields import FroalaField

class Page(models.Model):
  content = FroalaField(plugins=('font_size', 'font_family'))

Third party integrations

FROALA_EDITOR_THIRD_PARTY setting can be used to configure third party integrations. Aviary Image Editor and Web SpellChecker are available for now. To enable, in settings.py:

FRAOLA_EDITOR_THIRD_PARTY = ('image_aviary', 'spell_checker')

Similar to plugin configuration, this can also be overridden on ForalaEditor and FroalaField.

Use your key for Web SpellChecker with serviceId in your project setings.


Image upload

FroalaEditor and FroalaField optionally take in a boolean value for image_upload argument to enable or disable image uploads. Image uploads are enabled by default if the urls of this package are included in your urls.py.

You can use FROALA_UPLOAD_PATH setting in settings.py to change the path where uploaded files are stored within the MEDIA_ROOT. By default, uploads/froala_editor/images is used for storing uploaded images.


Other Settings

USE_FROALA_EDITOR - default True
If set to Falsein your Django settings disables Froala editor and uses a TextArea instead.

FROALA_STORAGE_BACKEND
This allows for the storage used for uploaded images and files to be changed through settings. If nothing is provided it uses default_storage, otherwise it uses this backend. Using this you can specify a different storage backend like S3 only for Froala.

FROALA_JS_COOKIE - default False.
If set to True, it assumes js-cookie is installed and included to get the CSRF token using js-cookie.


Release

To publish to PyPi, the following command should be run: bash python setup.py sdist upload -r pypi
