# So how to use Editor.js
## Basics
Editor.js is a Block-Styled editor. Blocks are structural units, of which the Entry is composed.
For example, `Paragraph`, `Heading`, `Image`, `Video`, `List` are Blocks. Each Block is represented by Plugin.
We have [many](http://github.com/editor-js/) ready-to-use Plugins and a [simple API](https://editorjs.io/tools-api) for creating new ones.
So how to use the Editor after [Installation](https://editorjs.io/getting-started).
- Create new Blocks by Enter or with the Plus Button
- Press `TAB` or click on the Plus Button to view the Toolbox
- Press `TAB` again to leaf Toolbox and select a Block you need. Then press Enter.
- Select text fragment and apply a style or insert a link from the Inline Toolbar
- Use «three-dots» button on the right to open Block Settings. From here, you can move and delete a Block
or apply Tool's settings, if it provided. For example, set a Heading level or List style.
## Shortcuts
We really appreciate shortcuts. So there are few presets.
Shortcut | Action | Restrictions
-- | -- | --
`TAB` | Show/leaf a Toolbox. | On empty block
`SHIFT+TAB` | Leaf back a Toolbox. | While Toolbox is opened
`ENTER` | Create a Block | While Toolbox is opened and some Tool is selected
`CMD+B` | Bold style | On selection
`CMD+I` | Italic style | On selection
`CMD+K` | Insert a link | On selection
Also we support shortcuts on the all type of Tools. Specify a shortcut with the Tools configuration. For example:
```js
var editor = new EditorJS({
//...
tools: {
header: {
class: Header,
shortcut: 'CMD+SHIFT+H'
},
list: {
class: List,
shortcut: 'CMD+SHIFT+L'
}
}
//...
});
```
# Installation Guide
There are few steps to run Editor.js on your site.
1. [Load Editor's core](#load-editors-core)
2. [Load Tools](#load-tools)
3. [Initialize Editor's instance](#create-editor-instance)
## Load Editor's core
Firstly you need to get Editor.js itself. It is a [minified script](dist/editor.js) with Editor's core and some default must-have tools.
Choose the most usable method of getting Editor for you.
- Node package
- Source from CDN
- Local file from project
### Node.js
Install the package via NPM or Yarn
```shell
npm i @editorjs/editorjs
```
Include module in your application
```javascript
const EditorJS = require('@editorjs/editorjs');
```
### Use from CDN
You can load specific version of package from [jsDelivr CDN](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/@editorjs/editorjs).
`https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@editorjs/editorjs@latest`
Then require this script.
```html
```
### Save sources to project
Copy [editor.js](build/editor.js) file to your project and load it.
```html
```
## Load Tools
Each Block at the Editor.js represented by [Tools](docs/tools.md). There are simple external scripts with own logic. Probably you want to use several Block Tools that should be connected.
For example check out our [Header](https://github.com/editor-js/header) Tool that represents heading blocks.
You can install Header Tool by the same way as the Editor (Node.js, CDN, local file).
Check [Editor.js's community](https://github.com/editor-js/) to see more ready-to-use Tools.
**Example:** use Header from CDN
```html
```
## Create Editor instance
Create an instance of Editor.js and pass [Configuration Object](types/configs/editor-config.d.ts) with `holderId` and tools list.
```html
```
You can create a simple Editor with only default Paragraph Tool by passing a string with element's Id (wrapper for Editor) as a configuration param. Or use the default `editorjs` id for wrapper.
```javascript
var editor = new EditorJS(); /** Zero-configuration */
// equals
var editor = new EditorJS('editorjs');
````
Or pass a whole settings object.
```javascript
var editor = new EditorJS({
/**
* Create a holder for the Editor and pass its ID
*/
holder : 'editorjs',
/**
* Available Tools list.
* Pass Tool's class or Settings object for each Tool you want to use
*/
tools: {
header: {
class: Header,
inlineToolbar : true
},
// ...
},
/**
* Previously saved data that should be rendered
*/
data: {}
});
```
## Saving Data
Call `editor.save()` and handle returned Promise with saved data.
```javascript
editor.save()
.then((savedData) => {
console.log(savedData);
});
```
## Example
Take a look at the [example.html](example/example.html) to view more detailed examples.
