Want to include Basecamp's awesome Trix WYSIWYG editor in your Ruby on Rails application? You've come to the right place!

Compatible with Rails 4.2 and up.

Add trix-rails to your Gemfile:

gem 'trix-rails', require: 'trix'

Run bundle install and restart your server to make the files available through the pipeline.

Import Trix styles in app/assets/stylesheets/application.css:

*= require trix

Require Trix Javascript magic in app/assets/javascripts/application.js:

//= require trix

You can use trix-rails as a standalone tag, in a form builder, or with popular form libraries.

Create a simple <trix-editor> tag:

trix_editor_tag(name, value = nil, options = {})

For example:

<%= trix_editor_tag :post, :body, required: true %>

Create a Trix editor for a form_for or form_with attribute:

trix_editor(method, options = {})

For example:

<%= post_form.trix_editor :body, required: true, autofocus: true %>

If you're using Formtastic or Simple Form, you can do this:

f.input :body, as: :trix_editor

Any options provided will be passed along to the content_tag call that outputs the <trix-editor> tag.

For example:

<%= post_form.trix_editor :body, autofocus: true, data: { coffee: :delicious } %>

will render:

<trix-editor autofocus="true" data-coffee="delicious">

Bug reports and feature requests are welcome. They're much more likely to be addressed if they are accompanied by a pull request 😘

• Report a bug
• Request a feature

All pull requests should include tests, where applicable. Pull requests without tests may be rejected.

trix-rails uses Appraisal to test against supported versions of Rails. You can run the specs against all supported versions with:

bundle exec appraisal rake spec

To upgrade Trix, simply copy the compiled styles from trix/dist into this repository:

• Copy trix.js to vendor/assets/javascripts/trix.js
• Copy trix.css to vendor/assets/stylesheets/trix.css
