The plugin is based on Strapi's custom fields and CKEditor dll build

Plugin configuration should be defined in the /config/ckeditor.txt file.

It's highly recommended to explore the official ckeditor documentation

Content from ckeditor.txt will be passed into a script tag through the initialization process.

📂 Default configs: admin/src/components/Input/CKEditor/configs

📂 Default theme: admin/src/components/Input/CKEditor/theme

ckeditor.txt example:

globalThis.CKEditorConfig = {

    /* By default configs and theme
    objects will be spread with
    default configs and theme

    allow you to redefine
    default objects completely: */

    //configsOverwrite:true,
    //themeOverwrite:true,

    /* Here you can redefine default configs

}

If you use the default (local) upload provider you should specify a url property in the config/server.js in order to get the full URL on uploaded files eg:

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  url: env("PUBLIC_URL", "http://localhost:1337"),
  host: env('HOST', '0.0.0.0'),
  port: env.int('PORT', 1337),
  app: {
    keys: env.array('APP_KEYS'),
  },
});

In order to display some content from an external source on your admin side you should configure your middlewares.js check the docs about this

🛠 Contributing

This section covers the way how to configure your environment if you want to contribute to this package.

Setting up the environment

In order to start making changes in the plugin you first need to install Strapi infrastructure on top of the plugin repository.

npx create-strapi-app --quickstart strapi
cd strapi

By default Strapi does not create plugins folder so we need to create it.

mkdir -p src/plugins

Now we should clone this repository so we can work on it.

git clone https://github.com/hrahimi270/strapi-plugin-ckeditor-video.git src/plugins/strapi-plugin-ckeditor

Let's add an entry inside ./package.json file so, we won't need to use yarn inside plugin itself.

"workspaces": ["./src/plugins/strapi-plugin-ckeditor"]

Install dependencies:

yarn install

Now we need to register plugin so strapi can use it. In order to do that we need to create (if not already created) ./config/plugins.js file and add entry to it.

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  ckeditor5: {
    enabled: true,
    resolve: "./src/plugins/strapi-plugin-ckeditor"
  },
});

Rebuild the project and start the server:

yarn build
yarn develop

⚠️ Requirements

Strapi v4.4.0+

Node >=14.19.1 <=18.x.x

👍 This build includes some useful plugins based on these repos so thanks to them:
