Creating Ionic apps is generally more convenient thanks to the cross-platform compatibility the toolkit offers. Today, our DEV IT engineers will explain the process of using ionic to build React applications via a Rich Text Editor.
Let’s first discuss Rich Text Editor
A Rich Text Editor is an editor which supports formatting options, such as Font, Color, Size, Text Alignment, Indent, etc. A rich text editor easily converts your text to Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) without any interference.
Thanks to this, rich text editors are usually known as WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) Editors and are the preferred tools for most mobile app development companies out there.
For our example today, we will use Quill Rich Text Editor. Before diving right into it, let’s understand more about Quill Rich Text Editor.
Quill Rich Text Editor
Quill is a free, open-source, and customizable WYSIWYG editor. It is built for the modern web and is an API Driven Rich Text Editor. Quill also supports cross-platform applications, and this makes it an important tool for developers. It’s very easy to implement Rich Text Editor into an Ionic App.
For today, we will use npm for quill implementation in the Ionic app.
Follow along with the steps mentioned below:
Step 1: Run the below commands in your ionic project
Step 2: Add theme styling bubble.css or snow.css of quill.js to global.CSS
Step 3: To Enable text selection to add the below code to global.scss. Ionic deactivates user-select everywhere per default.
Step 4: Import QuillModule to app.module.ts
Then add QuillModule to imports of NgModule
Step 5: Import QuillModule particular to page module.ts
Then add QuillModule to imports of NgModule
Then simply add <quill-editor></quill-editor> to your page.html and done. you can see a nice rich text editor in your app.
