Quick start
-----------

 .. code-block:: bash
 
        pip install hs-django-ckeditor

1. Add "hs_django_ckeditor" to your INSTALLED_APPS in your `project/settings.py` like this:

 .. code-block:: python

        INSTALLED_APPS = [
            ...
            'hs_django_ckeditor',
        ]


2. Also, in your `project/settings.py` add:

  .. code-block:: python

      STATIC_URL = '/static/'
      MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
      MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')

      customColorPalette = [
            {
                'color': 'hsl(4, 90%, 58%)',
                'label': 'Red'
            },
            {
                'color': 'hsl(340, 82%, 52%)',
                'label': 'Pink'
            },
            {
                'color': 'hsl(291, 64%, 42%)',
                'label': 'Purple'
            },
            {
                'color': 'hsl(262, 52%, 47%)',
                'label': 'Deep Purple'
            },
            {
                'color': 'hsl(231, 48%, 48%)',
                'label': 'Indigo'
            },
            {
                'color': 'hsl(207, 90%, 54%)',
                'label': 'Blue'
            },
        ]

      CKEDITOR_CUSTOM_CSS = 'path_to.css'
      CKEDITOR_FILE_STORAGE = "path_to_storage.CustomStorage"
      CKEDITOR_CONFIGS = { 
        'default': {
            'toolbar': {
                'items': ['heading', '|', 'bold', 'italic', 'link',
                          'bulletedList', 'numberedList', 'blockQuote', 'imageUpload', ],
                        }
    
        },
        'extends': {
            'blockToolbar': [
                'paragraph', 'heading1', 'heading2', 'heading3',
                '|',
                'bulletedList', 'numberedList',
                '|',
                'blockQuote',
            ],

                        'bulletedList', 'numberedList', 'todoList', '|',  'blockQuote', 'imageUpload', '|',

                        'insertTable',
                        ],
                'shouldNotGroupWhenFull': true
            },
            'image': {
                'toolbar': ['imageTextAlternative', '|', 'imageStyle:alignLeft',
                            'imageStyle:alignRight', 'imageStyle:alignCenter', 'imageStyle:side',  '|'],
                'styles': [
                    'full',
                    'side',
                    'alignLeft',
                    'alignRight',
                    'alignCenter',
                ]
    
            },
            'table': {
                'contentToolbar': [ 'tableColumn', 'tableRow', 'mergeTableCells',
                'tableProperties', 'tableCellProperties' ],
                'tableProperties': {
                    'borderColors': customColorPalette,
                    'backgroundColors': customColorPalette
                },
                'tableCellProperties': {
                    'borderColors': customColorPalette,
                    'backgroundColors': customColorPalette
                }
            },
            'heading' : {
                'options': [
                    { 'model': 'paragraph', 'title': 'Paragraph', 'class': 'ck-heading_paragraph' },
                    { 'model': 'heading1', 'view': 'h1', 'title': 'Heading 1', 'class': 'ck-heading_heading1' },
                    { 'model': 'heading2', 'view': 'h2', 'title': 'Heading 2', 'class': 'ck-heading_heading2' },
                    { 'model': 'heading3', 'view': 'h3', 'title': 'Heading 3', 'class': 'ck-heading_heading3' }
                ]
            }
        },
        'list': {
            'properties': {
                'styles': 'true',
                'startIndex': 'true',
                'reversed': 'true',
            }
        }
    }

    # Define a constant in settings.py to specify file upload permissions
    CKEDITOR_FILE_UPLOAD_PERMISSION = "staff"  # Possible values: "staff", "authenticated", "any"

3. Include the app URLconf in your `project/urls.py` like this:
 
  .. code-block:: python

       from django.conf import settings
       from django.conf.urls.static import static
       
       # [ ... ]
       
       urlpatterns += [ 
           path("ckeditor/", include('hs_django_ckeditor.urls')),
       ] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

  Alternatively, you can use your own logic for file uploads. To do this, add the following to your `settings.py` file:

  .. code-block:: python

    # Define a constant in settings.py to specify the custom upload file view
    CK_EDITOR_5_UPLOAD_FILE_VIEW_NAME = "custom_upload_file"

  Then, in your `urls.py`, include the custom upload URL pattern:

  .. code-block:: python

     path("upload/", custom_upload_function, name="custom_upload_file"),

This allows users to customize the upload file logic by specifying their own view function and URL pattern.






    
    
4. Add to your `project/models.py`:

  .. code-block:: python


        from django.db import models
        from hs_django_ckeditor.fields import CKEditor5Field
        
        
        class Article(models.Model):
            title=models.CharField('Title', max_length=200)
            text=CKEditor5Field('Text', config_name='extends')

Examples
-----------

Example of using a widget in a form:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  .. code-block:: python

      from django import forms

      from hs_django_ckeditor.widgets import CKEditor5Widget
      from .models import Comment


      class CommentForm(forms.ModelForm):
            """Form for comments to the article."""

            def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
                super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
                self.fields["text"].required = False

            class Meta:
                model = Comment
                fields = ("author", "text")
                widgets = {
                    "text": CKEditor5Widget(
                        attrs={"class": "hs_django_ckeditor"}, config_name="comment"
                    )
                }

Example of using a widget in a template:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  .. code-block:: python

    {% extends 'base.html' %}
    {% block header %}
        {{ form.media }} # Required for styling/js to make ckeditor5 work
    {% endblock %}
    {% block content %}
        <form method="POST">
            {% csrf_token %}
            {{ form.as_p }}
            <input type="submit" value="Submit article">
        </form>
    {% endblock %}

Custom storage example:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  .. code-block:: python

      import os
      from urllib.parse import urljoin

      from django.conf import settings
      from django.core.files.storage import FileSystemStorage


      class CustomStorage(FileSystemStorage):
          """Custom storage for hs_django_ckeditor images."""

          location = os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, "hs_django_ckeditor")
          base_url = urljoin(settings.MEDIA_URL, "hs_django_ckeditor/")


Changing the language:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can change the language via the ``language`` key in the config

 .. code-block:: python

      CKEDITOR_CONFIGS = {
        'default': {
            'toolbar': ['heading', '|', 'bold', 'italic', 'link',
                        'bulletedList', 'numberedList', 'blockQuote', 'imageUpload', ],
            'language': 'de',
        },
      }

``language`` can be either:

1. a string containing a single language
2. a list of languages
3. a dict ``{"ui": <a string (1) or a list of languages (2)>}``

If you want the language to change with the user language in django
you can add ``CKEDITOR_USER_LANGUAGE=True`` to your django settings.
Additionally you will have to list all available languages in the ckeditor
config as shown above.

Creating a CKEditor5 instance from javascript:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To create a ckeditor5 instance dynamically from javascript you can use the
``ClassicEditor`` class exposed through the ``window`` global variable.

  .. code-block:: javascript

    const config = {};
    window.ClassicEditor
       .create( document.querySelector( '#editor' ), config )
       .catch( error => {
           console.error( error );
       } );
    }

Alternatively, you can create a form with the following structure:

  .. code-block:: html

    <form method="POST">
        <div class="ck-editor-container">
            <textarea id="id_text" name="text" class="hs_django_ckeditor" >
            </textarea>
            <div></div> <!-- this div or any empty element is required -->
            <span class="word-count" id="id_text_script-word-count"></span>
       </div>
       <input type="hidden" id="id_text_script-ck-editor-5-upload-url" data-upload-url="/ckeditor5/image_upload/" data-csrf_cookie_name="new_csrf_cookie_name">
       <span id="id_text_script-span"><script id="id_text_script" type="application/json">{your ckeditor config}</script></span>
    </form>

The ckeditor will be automatically created once the form has been added to the
DOM.

To access a ckeditor instance you can either get them through ``window.editors``

  .. code-block:: javascript

    const editor = windows.editors["<id of your field>"];

or by registering a callback

  .. code-block:: javascript

    //register callback
    window.ckeditorRegisterCallback("<id of your field>", function(editor) {
      // do something with editor
    });
    // unregister callback
    window.ckeditorUnregisterCallback("<id of your field>");


Allow file uploading as link:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
By default only images can be uploaded and embedded in the content. To allow
uploading and embedding files as downloadable links you can add the following
to your config:

 .. code-block:: python

      CKEDITOR_ALLOW_ALL_FILE_TYPES = True
      CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_FILE_TYPES = ['jpeg', 'pdf', 'png'] # optional
      CKEDITOR_CONFIGS = {
        'default': {
            'toolbar': ['heading', '|', 'bold', 'italic', 'link',
                        'bulletedList', 'numberedList', 'blockQuote', 'imageUpload', 'fileUpload' ], # include fileUpload here
            'language': 'de',
        },

**Warning**: Uploaded files are not validated and users could upload malicious
content (e.g. a pdf which actually is an executable). Furthermore allowing file
uploads disables any validation for the image upload as the backend can't
distinguish between image and file upload. Exposing the file upload to
all/untrusted users poses a risk!


Restrict upload file size:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can restrict the maximum size for uploaded images and files by adding

 .. code-block:: python

      CKEDITOR_MAX_FILE_SIZE = 5 # Max size in MB

to your config. Default is 0 (allow any file size).


Installing from GitHub:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  .. code-block:: bash

    cd your_root_project
    git clone https://github.com/swe-himelrana/hs-django-ckeditor.git
    cd django-ckeditor-5
    yarn install
    yarn run prod
    cd your_root_project
    python manage.py collectstatic
    
Example Sharing content styles between front-end and back-end:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To apply ckeditor5 styling outside of the editor, download content.styles.css from the official ckeditor5 docs and include it as a styleshet within your HTML template. You will need to add the ck-content class to the container of your content for the styles to be applied.
`<https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor5/latest/installation/advanced/content-styles.html#sharing-content-styles-between-frontend-and-backend>`_

.. code-block:: html

   <link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/assets/content-styles.css" type="text/css">
   ...
   <div class="ck-content">
   <p>ckeditor content</p>
   </div>
