backpack\\ckeditor-field
========================

[](#backpackckeditor-field)

A CKEditor field type for [Laravel Backpack](https://backpackforlaravel.com), using the [CKEditor](https://ckeditor.com/) WYSIWYG editor.

Install
-------

[](#install)

To install this package via Composer, run this command:

```
composer require backpack/ckeditor-field
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In your CrudController, use the `CKEditor` field type:

```
CRUD::field('content')->type('ckeditor');
```

You can customize most of CKEditor's options:

```
CRUD::field([   // CKEditor
    'name'          => 'content',
    'type'          => 'ckeditor',

    // optional:
    'options'       => [
        'autoGrow_minHeight'   => 200,
        'autoGrow_bottomSpace' => 50,
        'removePlugins'        => [],
    ],

    // elfinder configuration options when using [the file manager package](https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/FileManager)
    'elfinderOptions' => [], // it's the same as `true`, will enable with default options, by default is: `false`
]);
```

If you'd like to be able to select files from elFinder, you need to install [Backpack/FileManager](https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/FileManager) package and enable it in your field: `elfinderOptions => true`.

Custom Builds
-------------

[](#custom-builds)

Custom builds are not supported at the moment. If you need a custom build, you should publish the field to your own `resources/views/vendor/backpack/ckeditor-field/fields/ckeditor.blade.php` and modify it as needed.

License
-------

[](#license)

CKEditor is released under the GPL license. Please see the [CKEditor licensing page](https://ckeditor.com/legal/ckeditor-oss-license) for more information. Means that if you use CKEditor in your project, and you distribute that project, you need to make the source code of your project available under a GPL-compatible license or purchase a commercial CKEditor license.
