📝 Bolt Redactor Extension
=========================

[](#-bolt-redactor-extension)

This extension provides a "Redactor" field type, which is a sophisticated, lightweight and elegant WYSIWYG editor component for [Bolt](https://boltcms.io). The editor itself is developed by [Imperavi](https://imperavi.com/redactor/), and is licensed for usage in Bolt.

This extension allows you to add fields of `type: redactor` in your ContentTypes, as defined in `contenttypes.yaml`, like any other Field type.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Note: Installation is not required if you've installed the default Bolt project. In that case it's already present. If you've installed Bolt through different means, you'll need to run the command below:

```
composer require bolt/redactor
```

After installation, you can add it to any ContentType in your `contenttypes.yaml`, like any other field. For example:

```
blogposts:
    name: Blogposts
    singular_name: Blogpost
    fields:
        title:
            type: text
        slug:
            type: slug
            uses: title
        content:
            type: redactor
```

The result will be like this:

You can configure the editor in `config/extensions/bolt-redactor.yaml`. This configuration affects all the instances of the Redactor field that you've configured in your ContentTypes. The default configuration looks like this:

```
default:
  buttons: [ bold, italic, format, lists, link, html, image ]
  plugins: [ fullscreen, table, inlinestyle, video, widget ]
  source: true

plugins:
  ~
```

Configuring the buttons
-----------------------

[](#configuring-the-buttons)

Bolt's version of Redactor ships with all the official plugins and options. you can add or remove buttons by configuring them in the `buttons:` and `plugins:`parameters. Check the official Redactor documentation for [all available buttons](https://imperavi.com/redactor/examples/buttons/change-buttons-in-the-toolbar/). Note that some buttons might require you to enable the corresponding plugin as well. See here for a list of [the available plugins](https://imperavi.com/redactor/plugins/).

Settings
--------

[](#settings)

Where applicable, you can add extra settings under the `default:` key in the `bolt-redactor.yaml` configuration. See the documentation for available settings.

Note that this documentation uses Javascript, whilst Bolt's configuration uses Yaml. For example, the documentation for '[Paste](https://imperavi.com/redactor/docs/settings/paste/)' has this example:

```
$R('#content', {
        pastePlainText: true
});
```

In `bolt-redactor.yaml` you can add this as:

```
default:
  buttons: [ …]
  plugins: [ … ]
  pastePlainText: true
```

Adding custom plugins
---------------------

[](#adding-custom-plugins)

If you've written your own plugin for Redactor according to the documentation [for Creating Plugins](https://imperavi.com/redactor/docs/how-to/create-a-plugin/), you can add it to the editor in Bolt, by placing it in `/public/assets/redactor/plugins`. Then, add it to the `bolt-redactor.yaml` configuration:

```
default:
  buttons: [ … ]
  plugins: [ … ]

plugins:
  myplugin: [ 'myplugin/myplugin.js', 'myplugin/myplugin.css' ]
```
