Quick Start
Wijmo User Guide > Widgets > Editor > Quick Start

In this quick start, you'll learn how to add the Editor widget to an HTML project using HTML markup and jQuery script.

  1. To create a new HTML page in your favorite text editor, add the following code and save the document with an .html extension.

    Drop down and copy markup

    Paste in your favorite text editor.
    Copy Code
    <!DOCTYPE HTML>
    <HTML>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </HTML>
    
  2. Add links to the dependencies to your HTML page within the <head> tags. Find the latest dependencies in the content delivery network (CDN) file at wijmo cdn.

    Drop down and copy references to paste inside the head tags

    References
    Copy Code
    <!--Theme-->
    <link href="http://cdn.wijmo.com/themes/aristo/jquery-wijmo.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    
    <!--Wijmo Widgets CSS-->
    <link href="http://cdn.wijmo.com/jquery.wijmo-pro.all.3.20183.140.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    
    <!--RequireJs-->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.wijmo.com/external/require.js"></script>
  3. Add the following markup within the <body> tags to create the widget. The <textarea> element creates the widget, and we call its id attribute in jQuery to initialize it. This markup also provides some marked up text to display in the editor.

    Drop down and copy markup to paste inside the body tags

                
    Markup
    Copy Code
    <textarea id="wijeditor" style="width: 756px; height: 475px;">
        <h2>Blippity Fling-Flang</h2>
        <p>Ho ha meepfloo hum nip zongle, yap izzle ho noodle da. Doo twaddle zap? dilznoofus Jackson.

        <p><a href="http://bff.orangehairedboy.com/">Blippity Fling-Flang by orangehairedboy</a></p>
  4. Within the <head> tags, below the references, add the following script to initialize the widget and set several editor widget options.
    • The editor appears in split mode, showing both the wysiwyg editor and the code view in a split screen.
    • The editor uses a simple toolbar with a limited toolset instead of the tool ribbon with many options.
    • The toolbar shows a specific set of commands instead of using the default set.

    Script
    Copy Code

        requirejs.config({
            baseUrl: "http://cdn.wijmo.com/amd-js/3.20161.90",
                paths: {
                    "jquery": "jquery-1.11.1.min",
                    "jquery-ui": "jquery-ui-1.11.0.custom.min",
                    "jquery.ui": "jquery-ui",
                    "jquery.mousewheel": "jquery.mousewheel.min",
                    "globalize": "globalize.min"
                }
        });
    </script>
    
    <script id="scriptInit" type="text/javascript">
        require(["wijmo.wijeditor"], function () {
            $(document).ready(function () {
                $("#wijeditor").wijeditor({
                    editorMode: "split",
                    mode: "simple",
                    simpleModeCommands: ["Bold", "Italic", "FontName","FontSize","InsertImage", "NumberedList", "BulletedList", "Undo"]
                });
            });
        });
    </script>
  5. Save your HTML file and open it in a browser. The widget appears like the following live widget.
