<?php

return [
    'cloudChannel' => '6', // 5 or 6

    /**
     * Get your API key at https://www.tiny.cloud and put it here or in your .env file
     */
    'apiKey' => env('TINYMCE_API_KEY', ''),

    /**
     * The default skin to use.
     */
    'skin' => 'oxide-dark',

    /**
     * The default options to send to the editor.
     * See https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/configure/ for all available options (check for 5 or 6 version).
     */
    'init' => [

    ],

    /**

    'extra' => [

            'folder' => 'images',
            'maxSize' => 2048, // KB
        ],
    ],
];

In your .env file please add the key (get one here):

TINYMCE_API_KEY=[YOUR_PRECIOUS_PRIVATE_KEY]

Please make sure that you have added domain in your tiny.cloud account list or you will get an error notice message.

Register the Field

In your Nova/Resource.php add the field as following:

<?php

use Murdercode\TinymceEditor\TinymceEditor;

class Article extends Resource
{
    //...
    public function fields(NovaRequest $request)
    {
        return [
            TinymceEditor::make(__('Content'), 'content')
                ->rules(['required', 'min:20'])
                ->fullWidth()
                ->help(__('The content of the article.')),
        ];
    }
}
                //...

Enable Image Upload

[!WARNING] This feature is in BETA and can be unstable or contain bugs/security flaws. We provide it as is, without any warranty. For this reason, is disabled by default.

To enable image upload, you must publish the configuration file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Murdercode\TinymceEditor\FieldServiceProvider"

then in your config file config/nova-tinymce-editor.php:

<?php

// Uncomment the following line
'images_upload_url' => '/nova-vendor/murdercode/tinymce/upload',

// Set the following to true
'extra' => [
    'upload_images' => [
        'enabled' => true,

Please be sure that image plugin and toolbar button are enabled in your config file.

Protect code

You can to control what contents should be protected from editing while it gets passed into the editor. This is useful for example when you want to protect PHP code from been formatted.

To do this, you must publish the configuration file and add the following line:

<?php

return [
'init' => [
        // ... Your awesome init config ...
         /**
         * Set what content should be protected while editing
         * This should be a regular expression
         * E.g "/<\?php.*?\?>/g" - Protect PHP code from been formatted
         */
         'protect' => []
];
//...

Use Alternative CDN / Self Hosted scripts

TinyMCE allows you to use an alternative mirror for scripts. It will be useful if you want to use a non-cloud version (and avoid the new mechanism pricing of Tiny.cloud).

You can simply add in app/Providers/NovaServiceProvider.php:

class NovaServiceProvider extends NovaApplicationServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Bootstrap any application services.
     */
    public function boot(): void
    {
        parent::boot();

        // TinyMCE Mirror
        Nova::script('custom', 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/tinymce@6/tinymce.min.js');

        // ...
    }
}

TinyMCE will automatic check if there's a script and I'll ignore his script from tiny cloud.

Upgrade from 1.0.x to 1.1.x

The transition to 1.1 involves the use of a new configuration layout compatible with the previous version.

However, if you want to use the new image upload and version change features, it is recommended that you make a new php artisan vendor:publish.

Upgrade from 0.x to 1.x

In composer.json change the version of the package to

"murdercode/nova4-tinymce-editor": "^1.0"

and run composer update.

Also, you must change the format of the plugin snippet in nova-tinymce-editor as follows:

0.x

'plugins' => [
            'anchor advlist autolink autoresize autosave code fullscreen link lists image imagetools media
            paste wordcount',
        ],

1.x

'plugins' => [
            'anchor',
            'advlist',
            // etc...
        ],
