Code

Initialization JavaScript Code

function( pOptions ) {
  pOptions.documentReady = true;

  // browser width > 1200px
  pOptions.toolbarButtons   = {
    "moreParagraph": {
      "buttons": [ 'undo', 'redo', 'print', 'paragraphFormat', 'fontFamily', 'fontSize', 'bold', 'italic', 'underline', 'textColor', 'backgroundColor', 'insertLink', 'insertImage', 'align', 'lineHeight', 'formatUL', 'formatOL', 'clearFormatting', 'outdent', 'indent'],
      "align": "left",
      "buttonsVisible": 20
    },
    "moreMisc": {
      "buttons": ["fullscreen", "selectAll", "help", "html", "getPDF"],
      "align": "right",
      "buttonsVisible": 1
    }
  };
  
  // 922px <= browser width < 1200px
  pOptions.toolbarButtonsMD = $.extend(true, {}, pOptions.toolbarButtons);
  pOptions.toolbarButtonsMD.moreParagraph.buttonsVisible = 13;
  pOptions.toolbarButtonsMD.moreMisc.buttonsVisible = 1;

  // 768px <= browser width < 992px
  pOptions.toolbarButtonsSM   = {
    "moreParagraph": {
      "buttons": [ 'paragraphFormat', 'fontFamily', 'fontSize', 'bold', 'italic', 'textColor', 'insertLink', 'insertImage', 'undo', 'redo', 'print', 'underline', 'backgroundColor', 'align', 'lineHeight', 'formatUL', 'formatOL', 'clearFormatting', 'outdent', 'indent'],

      "buttons": ["fullscreen", "selectAll", "help", "html", "getPDF"],
      "align": "right",
      "buttonsVisible": 1
    }
  };

  // browser width < 768px
  pOptions.toolbarButtonsXS = {
    "moreParagraph": {
      "buttons": [ 'paragraphFormat', 'fontFamily', 'fontSize',  'align', 'lineHeight', 'outdent', 'indent'],
      "align": "left",
      "buttonsVisible": 7
    },
    "moreText": {

Calendar

The example presents the editor's toolbar configured to resemble the Google Calendar toolbar. The toolbar definition is a simple array of 7 buttons and two separators.

Features:

• The Google Calendar toolbar looks
• Simple to implement

Code

JavaScript Initialization Code

function( pOptions ) {
  pOptions.toolbarButtons = ['bold', 'italic', 'underline', '|', 'formatUL', 'formatOL', '|', 'insertLink', 'clearFormatting'];
  return pOptions;
}

Preview

Inline toolbar

The example presents editor's toolbar configured using toolbarInline and toolbarVisibleWithoutSelection to be shown only when the text in a document is selected or when the end-user presses keyboard shortcut CTRL+E.

Features:

• Toolbar for visible for selected text only
• Shortcut to open toolbar on demand
• Intuitive UX when editing CLOB values embedded directly in the APEX application

info

Using option toolbarInline makes the editor borderless and background-color less, which requires additional CSS configuration to make the editor present well in the Oracle APEX application. The example implementation relies on the native Oracle APEX region template content block. See the tab Content Block Options below.

Code

JavaScript Initialization Code

function( pOptions ) {
  pOptions.toolbarVisibleWithoutSelection = false;
  pOptions.toolbarInline = true;
  pOptions.toolbarButtons = [
    'paragraphFormat', 'fontFamily', 'fontSize', 'indent', 'outdent', 'formatUL', 'formatOL', '|',
    'insertImage', 'insertLink', '|',
    'bold', 'italic', 'underline', 'clearFormatting'
  ];
  return pOptions;
}

• Responsive toolbar

Code

JavaScript Initialization Code

  pOptions.toolbarButtonsSM = $.extend(true, {}, pOptions.toolbarButtons);
