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.
Installation
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

Usage
You can use trix-rails
as a standalone tag, in a form builder, or with popular form libraries.
Standalone Tag
Create a simple <trix-editor>
tag:
trix_editor_tag(name, value = nil, options = {})
For example:
<%= trix_editor_tag :post, :body, required: true %>
Form builder
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 %>
Formtastic and Simple Form
If you're using Formtastic or Simple Form, you can do this:
f.input :body, as: :trix_editor
Options
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">
