Usage

The package provides a custom blade directive @ckeditor('textareaId') that transforms a <textarea> into a CkEditor instance. Give your <textarea> an id attribute and add the blade directive at the bottom of your page, with the identifier of the <textarea>.

Example:

<textarea id="bodyField"></textarea>

@ckeditor('bodyField')

Configuration

If you need to configure the CkEditor instance, you can do that by passing a second argument with all options into the blade directive. Refer to the CkEditor config documentation to discover all possible options.

Example:

<textarea id="bodyField"></textarea>

@ckeditor('bodyField', ['height' => 500])
