Installing

You can install from NuGet using the following command:

Install-Package Penman.Blazor.Quill

Or via the Visual Studio package manger.

Setup

Add PenmanQuill to your service collection

Add a reference to the PenmanQuill services to your Program.cs (Wasm) or Startup.cs (Server)

Blazor Server Startup

 public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.AddRazorPages();
            services.AddServerSideBlazor().AddCircuitOptions(options => { 
                options.DetailedErrors = true; 
            });
            
            services.AddPenmanQuill(); //<-- add this
        }

Blazor Wasm Program

    builder.Services.AddPenmanQuill();

Add CSS and Javascript to your Blazor site

Add the following CSS files to _Host.cshtml if you're using Blazor Server or to index.html if you're using Blazor WASM

    <link href="//cdn.quilljs.com/1.3.6/quill.snow.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <link href="//cdn.quilljs.com/1.3.6/quill.bubble.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <link href="_content/Penman.Blazor.Quill/penman-blazor-quill.css" rel="stylesheet" />

And then do the same with the Javascript files

    <script src="https://cdn.quilljs.com/1.3.6/quill.js"></script>
    <script src="_content/Penman.Blazor.Quill/quill-blot-formatter.min.js"></script>
    <script src="_content/Penman.Blazor.Quill/penman-blazor-quill.js"></script>

Optional: If you don't want to keep adding the namespace to pages, just add the following using statement to _Imports.razor.

@using Penman.Blazor.Quill

Usage

Setting a Quill Theme

Penman.Blazor.Quill supports the two primary Quill Themes

• Snow (default)
• Bubble (more of a Medium-style pop-up toolbar experience)

In order to set the theme, do the following

<TextEditor @ref="@_quillEditor" 
            Theme="EditorTheme.Bubble">
</TextEditor>

Default Toolbar Example

Building the toolbar is easy. You can state what you wish by passing in the Toolbar object.

@using Penman.Blazor.Quill
<TextEditor 
    Toolbar="new Toolbar { ShowFullToolbar=true }"
    @ref="@MyEditor"
    Placeholder="Enter non HTML format like centering...">
</TextEditor>
@code { 
	TextEditor MyEditor;
}

Or you can specify the very toolbar elements you want to use.

@using Penman.Blazor.Quill

<TextEditor @ref="@QuillHtml">
    <ToolbarContent>
        <select class="ql-header">
            <option selected=""></option>
            <option value="1"></option>
            <option value="2"></option>
            <option value="3"></option>
            <option value="4"></option>
            <option value="5"></option>
        </select>
        <span class="ql-formats">
            <button class="ql-bold"></button>
            <button class="ql-italic"></button>
            <button class="ql-underline"></button>
            <button class="ql-strike"></button>
        </span>
        <span class="ql-formats">
            <select class="ql-color"></select>
            <select class="ql-background"></select>
        </span>
        <span class="ql-formats">
            <button class="ql-list" value="ordered"></button>
            <button class="ql-list" value="bullet"></button>
        </span>
        <span class="ql-formats">
            <button class="ql-link"></button>
        </span>
    </ToolbarContent>
    <EditorContent>
        <h4>This Toolbar works with HTML</h4>
        <a href="http://BlazorHelpWebsite.com">
        BlazorHelpWebsite.com</a>
    </EditorContent>
</TextEditor>
<br />
<button class="btn btn-primary" 
        @onclick="GetHTML">Get HTML</button>
<button class="btn btn-primary"
        @onclick="SetHTML">Set HTML</button>
<br />
<div>
    <br />
    @((MarkupString)QuillHTMLContent)
    @QuillHTMLContent
</div>
<br />

@code {

TextEditor QuillHtml;
string QuillHTMLContent;

    public async void GetHTML()
    {
        QuillHTMLContent = await this.QuillHtml.GetHTML();
        StateHasChanged();
    }

    public async void SetHTML()
    {
        string QuillContent =
            @"<a href='http://BlazorHelpWebsite.com/'>" +
            "<img src='images/BlazorHelpWebsite.gif' /></a>";

        await this.QuillHtml.LoadHTMLContent(QuillContent);
        StateHasChanged();
    }
}

Add fonts

You can add your own fonts to the editor.

@using Penman.Blazor.Quill

<style>
    /*SET THE DEFAULT FONT*/
    #TestId {
        font-family: "MS Gothic";
        font-size: 18px;
        height: 375px;
    }

    /*DEFINE ALL OF THE CUSTOM FONTS*/
    .ql-font-MSGothic {
        font-family: 'MS Gothic';
    }

    .ql-font-Bahnschrift {
        font-family: 'Bahnschrift'
    }

    .ql-font-Impact {
        font-family: 'Impact';
    }

    .ql-font-Courier {
        font-family: 'Courier';
    }

    .ql-font-Comic {
        font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';
    }
</style>

<TextEditor Toolbar="new Toolbar { ShowFullToolbar=true }" EditorContainerId="TestId" @ref="@MyEditor" Fonts="Fonts"
            Placeholder="Enter non HTML format like centering...">
</TextEditor>

@code{
    List<string> Fonts = new List<string> { "MSGothic", "Impact", "Courier", "Comic", "Bahnschrift" }; //be sure to set the default font as the first in the list
    TextEditor MyEditor;
}

Advanced functionality

Sticky Snow Toolbar

On longer documents, it becomes tedious and unusable to have the snow toolbar lodged up the top, so instead you can configure the snow editor to have the toolbar follow along as you edit. Simply pass the EditorTheme.Snow for the Theme and StickyToolBar="true"

Note: The bubble editor is not impacted by this at all

<TextEditor @ref="@_quillHtml" 
            Theme="EditorTheme.Snow"
            StickyToolBar="true">
            ...
