If you have Cocoapods installed, you can use Cocoapods to include RichEditorView
into your project.
Add the following to your Podfile
:
pod "RichEditorView"
use_frameworks!
Note: the use_frameworks!
is required for pods made in Swift.
Add the following to your Cartfile
:

RichEditorView
makes no assumptions about how you want to use it in your app. It is a plain UIView
subclass, so you are free to use it wherever, however you want.
Most basic use:
editor = RichEditorView(frame: self.view.bounds)
editor.html = "<h1>My Awesome Editor</h1>Now I am editing in <em>style.</em>"
self.view.addSubview(editor)
To change the styles of the currently selected text, you just call methods directly on the RichEditorView
:
editor.bold()
editor.italic()
editor.setTextColor(.red)
If you want to show the editing toolbar RichEditorToolbar
, you will need to handle displaying it (KeyboardManager.swift
in the sample project is a good start). But configuring it is as easy as telling it which options you want to enable, and telling it which RichEditorView
to work on.
let toolbar = RichEditorToolbar(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 320, height: 44))
toolbar.options = RichEditorOptions.all
toolbar.editor = editor // Previously instantiated RichEditorView
Some actions require user feedback (such as select an image, choose a color, etc). In this cases you can conform to the RichEditorToolbarDelegate
and react to these actions, and maybe display some custom UI. For example, from the sample project, we just select a random color:
private func randomColor() -> UIColor {
let colors: [UIColor] = [
.red, .orange, .yellow,
.green, .blue, .purple
]
let color = colors[Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(colors.count)))]
return color
}
func richEditorToolbarChangeTextColor(toolbar: RichEditorToolbar) {
let color = randomColor()
toolbar.editor?.setTextColor(color)
}
If you need even more flexibility with your options, you can add completely custom actions, by either making an object that conforms the the RichEditorOption
protocol, or configuring a RichEditorOptionItem
object, and adding it to the toolbar's options:
let clearAllItem = RichEditorOptionItem(image: UIImage(named: "clear"), title: "Clear") { toolbar in
toolbar?.editor?.html = ""
return
}
toolbar.options = [clearAllItem]
