Include Jodit in Your Project
Include the following two files:
ES5 Version:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="es2015/jodit.min.css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="es2015/jodit.min.js"></script>
ES2021 Version (for modern browsers only):
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="es2021/jodit.min.css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="es2021/jodit.min.js"></script>
ESM Modules:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./node_modules/jodit/es2021/jodit.min.css" /> <script type="module"> import { Jodit } from './node_modules/jodit/esm/index.js'; Jodit.make('#editor', { width: 600, height: 400 }); </script>
The ESM modules automatically include only the basic set of plugins and the English language. You can manually include additional plugins and languages as needed.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./node_modules/jodit/es2021/jodit.min.css" /> <script type="module"> import { Jodit } from './node_modules/jodit/esm/index.js'; import './node_modules/jodit/esm/plugins/add-new-line/add-new-line.js'; import './node_modules/jodit/esm/plugins/fullsize/fullsize.js'; // Or import all plugins import './node_modules/jodit/esm/plugins/all.js'; import de from './node_modules/jodit/esm/langs/de.js'; Jodit.langs.de = de; Jodit.make('#editor', { width: 600, height: 400, language: 'de' }); </script>

Usage
Add a textarea element to your HTML:
<textarea id="editor" name="editor"></textarea>
Initialize Jodit on the textarea:
const editor = Jodit.make('#editor'); editor.value = '<p>start</p>';
Create plugin
Jodit.plugins.yourplugin = function (editor) { editor.events.on('afterInit', function () { editor.s.insertHTMl('Text'); }); };
Add custom button
const editor = Jodit.make('.someselector', { extraButtons: [ { name: 'insertDate', iconURL: 'https://xdsoft.net/jodit/logo.png', exec: function (editor) { editor.s.insertHTML(new Date().toDateString()); editor.synchronizeValues(); // For history saving } } ] });
or
const editor = Jodit.make('.someselector', { buttons: ['bold', 'insertDate'], controls: { insertDate: { name: 'insertDate', iconURL: 'https://xdsoft.net/jodit/logo.png', exec: function (editor) { editor.s.insertHTML(new Date().toDateString()); } } } });
button with plugin
Jodit.plugins.add('insertText', function (editor) { editor.events.on('someEvent', function (text) { editor.s.insertHTMl('Hello ' + text); }); }); // or Jodit.plugins.add('textLength', { init(editor) { const div = editor.create.div('jodit_div'); editor.container.appendChild(div); editor.events.on('change.textLength', () => { div.innerText = editor.value.length; }); }, destruct(editor) { editor.events.off('change.textLength'); } }); // or use class Jodit.plugins.add( 'textLength', class textLength { init(editor) { const div = editor.create.div('jodit_div'); editor.container.appendChild(div); editor.events.on('change.textLength', () => { div.innerText = editor.value.length; }); } destruct(editor) { editor.events.off('change.textLength'); } } ); const editor = Jodit.make('.someselector', { buttons: ['bold', 'insertText'], controls: { insertText: { iconURL: 'https://xdsoft.net/jodit/logo.png', exec: function (editor) { editor.events.fire('someEvent', 'world!!!'); } } } });
FileBrowser and Uploader
For testing FileBrowser and Uploader modules, need install PHP Connector
composer create-project --no-dev jodit/connector
Run test PHP server
php -S localhost:8181 -t ./
and set options for Jodit:
const editor = Jodit.make('#editor', { uploader: { url: 'http://localhost:8181/index-test.php?action=fileUpload' }, filebrowser: { ajax: { url: 'http://localhost:8181/index-test.php' } } });
