## 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.

How to use the Editor after [Installation](https://editorjs.io/getting-started).

- Create new Blocks by pressing Enter or clicking 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 a text fragment and apply a style or insert a link from the Inline Toolbar

- Use the «three-dots» button on the right to open Block Settings. From here, you can move and delete a Block
or apply a Tool's settings, if it provided. For example, you can set a Heading level or List style.

### Shortcuts

A few shortcuts are preset as available.

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

Each Tool can also have its own shortcuts. These are specified in the configuration of the Tool, 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)

### Step 1. Load Editor's core

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

##### Option A. NPM install

Install the package via NPM or Yarn

```shell
npm i @editorjs/editorjs
```

Include module in your application

```javascript
const EditorJS = require('@editorjs/editorjs');
```

##### Option B. Use a CDN

You can load EditorJS directly from from [jsDelivr CDN](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/@editorjs/editorjs).

`https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@editorjs/editorjs@latest`

For example, place this in your HTML:

```html
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@editorjs/editorjs@latest"></script>
```

##### Option C. Save source within your project

Copy the [editor.js](dist/editor.js) file to your project and load it.

```html
<script src="editor.js"></script>
```

### Step 2. Load the Tools that you want to make available

Each Block is represented by a [Tool](docs/tools.md). Tools are simple external scripts with their own logic. For example, there is a [Header](https://github.com/editor-js/header) Tool into which you type your heading text. If you want to be able to use this, install the Header Tool the same way as the Editor (Node.js, CDN, local file).

**Example:** use Header from CDN

```html
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/codex.editor.header@2.0.4/dist/bundle.js"></script>
```

Check [Editor.js's community](https://github.com/editor-js/) to see more ready-to-use Tools.

### Step 3. 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
<div id="editorjs"></div>
```

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.
