    ContentTools

    Build Status

    A JS library for building WYSIWYG editors for HTML content.

    Demo

    Install

    Using bower

    bower install --save ContentTools
    

    Using npm

    npm install --save ContentTools
    

    Building

    To build the library you'll need to use Grunt. First install the required node modules (grunt-cli must be installed):

    git clone https://github.com/GetmeUK/ContentTools.git
    cd ContentTools
    npm install
    

    Install Sass (if not already installed):

    gem install sass
    

    Then run grunt build to build the project.

    Testing

    To test the library you'll need to use Jasmine. First install Jasmine:

    git clone https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine.git
    mkdir ContentTools/jasmine
    mv jasmine/dist/jasmine-standalone-2.0.3.zip ContentTools/jasmine
    cd ContentTools/jasmine
    unzip jasmine-standalone-2.0.3.zip
    

    Then open ContentTools/SpecRunner.html in a browser to run the tests.

    Alternatively you can use grunt jasmine to run the tests from the command line.

    ContentTools via jsdelivr

    ContentTools is available via the jsdelivr open source CDN, to reference a file from the ContentTools build directory use the following URL format:

    http://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/ContenTools@{version}/{file}

    For example to access the current primary JavaScript file the URL would be:

    https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/ContentTools@1.6.1/build/content-tools.min.js

    As the project's CSS uses relative file paths you will need to either role your own version of CSS from the SASS files (recommended) or override references to fonts/images within your local CSS.

    Browser support

    The current aim is for all the libraries to support IE9+, Chrome and Firefox. Test suites are complete for all the libraries except ContentTools and I'm using Jasmine to check that the tests pass in those browsers.

    There will be some visual differences for ContentTools in IE9 as I use CSS animations for some of the UI feedback.

    Helpful organizations

    ContentTools is developed using a number of tools & services provided for free by nice folks at organizations committed to supporting open-source projects including BrowserStack, GitHub and jsdelivr, Travis CI.
