EasyMDE: Simple, Beautiful and Embeddable JavaScript Markdown Editor

EasyMDE - Markdown Editor 

This repository is a fork of SimpleMDE, made by Sparksuite. Go to the dedicated section for more information.

A drop-in JavaScript text area replacement for writing beautiful and understandable Markdown. EasyMDE allows users who may be less experienced with Markdown to use familiar toolbar buttons and shortcuts.

In addition, the syntax is rendered while editing to clearly show the expected result. Headings are larger, emphasized words are italicized, links are underlined, etc.

EasyMDE also features both built-in auto saving and spell checking. The editor is entirely customizable, from theming to toolbar buttons and javascript hooks.

  • The function gets a file and onSuccess and onError callback functions as parameters. onSuccess(imageUrl: string) and onError(errorMessage: string)
• imageUploadEndpoint: The endpoint where the images data will be sent, via an asynchronous POST request. The server is supposed to save this image, and return a JSON response.
  • if the request was successfully processed (HTTP 200 OK): {"data": {"filePath": "<filePath>"}} where filePath is the path of the image (absolute if imagePathAbsolute is set to true, relative if otherwise);
  • otherwise: {"error": "<errorCode>"}, where errorCode can be noFileGiven (HTTP 400 Bad Request), typeNotAllowed (HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type), fileTooLarge (HTTP 413 Payload Too Large) or importError (see errorMessages below). If errorCode is not one of the errorMessages, it is alerted unchanged to the user. This allows for server-side error messages. No default value.
• imagePathAbsolute: If set to true, will treat imageUrl from imageUploadFunction and filePath returned from imageUploadEndpoint as an absolute rather than relative path, i.e. not prepend window.location.origin to it.
• imageCSRFToken: CSRF token to include with AJAX call to upload image. For various instances like Django, Spring and Laravel.

  • sbProgress: Status message displayed to show uploading progress. Defaults to Uploading #file_name#: #progress#%.
  • sbOnUploaded: Status message displayed when the image has been uploaded. Defaults to Uploaded #image_name#.
  • sizeUnits: A comma-separated list of units used to display messages with human-readable file sizes. Defaults to B, KB, MB (example: 218 KB). You can use B,KB,MB instead if you prefer without whitespaces (218KB).
• errorMessages: Errors displayed to the user, using the errorCallback option, where #image_name#, #image_size# and #image_max_size# will replaced by their respective values, that can be used for customization or internationalization:
  • noFileGiven: The server did not receive any file from the user. Defaults to You must select a file..
  • typeNotAllowed: The user send a file type which doesn't match the imageAccept list, or the server returned this error code. Defaults to This image type is not allowed..
  • fileTooLarge: The size of the image being imported is bigger than the imageMaxSize, or if the server returned this error code. Defaults to Image #image_name# is too big (#image_size#).\nMaximum file size is #image_max_size#..

• errorCallback: A callback function used to define how to display an error message. Defaults to (errorMessage) => alert(errorMessage).
• renderingConfig: Adjust settings for parsing the Markdown during previewing (not editing).
  • codeSyntaxHighlighting: If set to true, will highlight using highlight.js. Defaults to false. To use this feature you must include highlight.js on your page or pass in using the hljs option. For example, include the script and the CSS files like:
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/highlight.js/latest/highlight.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/highlight.js/latest/styles/github.min.css">
  • hljs: An injectible instance of highlight.js. If you don't want to rely on the global namespace (window.hljs), you can provide an instance here. Defaults to undefined.
  • markedOptions: Set the internal Markdown renderer's options. Other renderingConfig options will take precedence.
  • singleLineBreaks: If set to false, disable parsing GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) single line breaks. Defaults to true.
  • sanitizerFunction: Custom function for sanitizing the HTML output of Markdown renderer.
• shortcuts: Keyboard shortcuts associated with this instance. Defaults to the array of shortcuts.

    sideBySideFullscreen: false,
    syncSideBySidePreviewScroll: false,
    tabSize: 4,
    toolbar: false,
    toolbarTips: false,
});

Toolbar icons

Below are the built-in toolbar icons (only some of which are enabled by default), which can be reorganized however you like. "Name" is the name of the icon, referenced in the JavaScript. "Action" is either a function or a URL to open. "Class" is the class given to the icon. "Tooltip" is the small tooltip that appears via the title="" attribute. Note that shortcut hints are added automatically and reflect the specified action if it has a key bind assigned to it (i.e. with the value of action set to bold and that of tooltip set to Bold, the final text the user will see would be "Bold (Ctrl-B)").

Additionally, you can add a separator between any icons by adding "|" to the toolbar array.

Name	Action	Tooltip Class
bold	toggleBold	Bold fa fa-bold
italic	toggleItalic	Italic fa fa-italic
strikethrough	toggleStrikethrough	Strikethrough fa fa-strikethrough
heading	toggleHeadingSmaller	Heading fa fa-header
heading-smaller	toggleHeadingSmaller	Smaller Heading fa fa-header

Toolbar customization

Customize the toolbar using the toolbar option.

Only the order of existing buttons:

const easyMDE = new EasyMDE({
    toolbar: ["bold", "italic", "heading", "|", "quote"]
});

All information and/or add your own icons

const easyMDE = new EasyMDE({
    toolbar: [
        {
            name: "bold",
            action: EasyMDE.toggleBold,
            className: "fa fa-bold",
            title: "Bold",
        },
        "italics", // shortcut to pre-made button
        {
            name: "custom",
            action: (editor) => {
                // Add your own code
            },
            className: "fa fa-star",
            title: "Custom Button",
            attributes: { // for custom attributes
                id: "custom-id",
                "data-value": "custom value" // HTML5 data-* attributes need to be enclosed in quotation marks ("") because of the dash (-) in its name.
            }
        },
        "|" // Separator
        // [, ...]
    ]
});

Put some buttons on dropdown menu

const easyMDE = new EasyMDE({
    toolbar: [{
                name: "heading",
                action: EasyMDE.toggleHeadingSmaller,
                className: "fa fa-header",
                title: "Headers",
            },
            "|",
            {
                name: "others",
                className: "fa fa-blind",
                title: "others buttons",
                children: [
                    {
                        name: "image",
                        action: EasyMDE.drawImage,
                        className: "fa fa-picture-o",
                        title: "Image",
                    },
                    {
                        name: "quote",
                        action: EasyMDE.toggleBlockquote,
                        className: "fa fa-percent",
                        title: "Quote",
                    },
                    {
                        name: "link",
                        action: EasyMDE.drawLink,
                        className: "fa fa-link",
                        title: "Link",
                    }
                ]
            },
        // [, ...]
    ]
});

Keyboard shortcuts

EasyMDE comes with an array of predefined keyboard shortcuts, but they can be altered with a configuration option. The list of default ones is as follows:

Shortcut (Windows / Linux)	Shortcut (macOS)	Action
Ctrl-'	Cmd-'	"toggleBlockquote"
Ctrl-B	Cmd-B	"toggleBold"
Ctrl-E	Cmd-E	"cleanBlock"
Ctrl-H	Cmd-H	"toggleHeadingSmaller"
Ctrl-I	Cmd-I	"toggleItalic"
Ctrl-K	Cmd-K	"drawLink"
Ctrl-L	Cmd-L	"toggleUnorderedList"
Ctrl-P	Cmd-P	"togglePreview"
Ctrl-Alt-C	Cmd-Alt-C	"toggleCodeBlock"
Ctrl-Alt-I	Cmd-Alt-I	"drawImage"
Ctrl-Alt-L	Cmd-Alt-L	"toggleOrderedList"
Shift-Ctrl-H	Shift-Cmd-H	"toggleHeadingBigger"
F9	F9	"toggleSideBySide"
F11	F11	"toggleFullScreen"

Here is how you can change a few, while leaving others untouched:

const editor = new EasyMDE({
    shortcuts: {
        "toggleOrderedList": "Ctrl-Alt-K", // alter the shortcut for toggleOrderedList
        "toggleCodeBlock": null, // unbind Ctrl-Alt-C
        "drawTable": "Cmd-Alt-T", // bind Cmd-Alt-T to drawTable action, which doesn't come with a default shortcut
    }
});

Shortcuts are automatically converted between platforms. If you define a shortcut as "Cmd-B", on PC that shortcut will be changed to "Ctrl-B". Conversely, a shortcut defined as "Ctrl-B" will become "Cmd-B" for Mac users.

The list of actions that can be bound is the same as the list of built-in actions available for toolbar buttons.

Advanced use

Event handling

You can catch the following list of events: https://codemirror.net/doc/manual.html#events

const easyMDE = new EasyMDE();
easyMDE.codemirror.on("change", () => {
    console.log(easyMDE.value());
});

Removing EasyMDE from text area

You can revert to the initial text area by calling the toTextArea method. Note that this clears up the autosave (if enabled) associated with it. The text area will retain any text from the destroyed EasyMDE instance.

const easyMDE = new EasyMDE();
// ...
easyMDE.toTextArea();
easyMDE = null;

If you need to remove registered event listeners (when the editor is not needed anymore), call easyMDE.cleanup().

Useful methods

The following self-explanatory methods may be of use while developing with EasyMDE.

const easyMDE = new EasyMDE();
easyMDE.isPreviewActive(); // returns boolean
easyMDE.isSideBySideActive(); // returns boolean
easyMDE.isFullscreenActive(); // returns boolean
easyMDE.clearAutosavedValue(); // no returned value

How it works

EasyMDE is a continuation of SimpleMDE.

SimpleMDE began as an improvement of lepture's Editor project, but has now taken on an identity of its own. It is bundled with CodeMirror and depends on Font Awesome.

CodeMirror is the backbone of the project and parses much of the Markdown syntax as it's being written. This allows us to add styles to the Markdown that's being written. Additionally, a toolbar and status bar have been added to the top and bottom, respectively. Previews are rendered by Marked using GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM).

SimpleMDE fork

I originally made this fork to implement FontAwesome 5 compatibility into SimpleMDE. When that was done I submitted a pull request, which has not been accepted yet. This, and the project being inactive since May 2017, triggered me to make more changes and try to put new life into the project.

Changes include:

• FontAwesome 5 compatibility
• Guide button works when editor is in preview mode
• Links are now https:// by default
• Small styling changes
• Support for Node 8 and beyond

How to Image Cropping, Zooming, and Scaling with Angular & JavaScript

When building a web application there is a good chance you’re going to need to work with images eventually, even if it is something as simple as allowing a user to upload a profile image. In theory this is a simple task, but in reality, your website theme is probably anticipating images of a certain resolution or aspect ratio. If the user tries to upload an image that doesn’t meet your requirements, it might break your theme.

We’re going to see how to include image manipulation capabilities in your Angular application using the popular cropperjs JavaScript package.

To get an idea of what we’re going to accomplish, take a look at the following animated image:

In the above animation you’ll notice a source image which has a crop box. Altering the crop box will affect the image preview to the right of the source image. This image preview is an entirely new image that represents our manipulations and it can be downloaded as such.

Create a New Angular Project for the Web

Before getting too involved with this tutorial, the assumption is that you’ve got the Angular CLI installed and configured. For context, I’m using Angular 8.0.2 in this example. If you’re using an older or newer version, things may vary slightly.

From the CLI, execute the following:

ng new image-cropper-example

The above command will start the project creation process. When prompted, choose the defaults as we won’t be doing anything particularly fancy when it comes to Angular.

After the project has been created, navigate into the project and execute the following:

npm install cropperjs --save

The above command will install our cropperjs JavaScript dependency. As a fun fact, jQuery is not a requirement for this example.

Installing the cropperjs package will only install the JavaScript side of things. We’ll still need the CSS for visualizing our image manipulation box within the source image.

Open the project’s src/index.html file and include the following:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>Image Cropping Project</title>
        <base href="/">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
        <link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico">
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/cropperjs/1.5.1/cropper.min.css">
    </head>
    <body>
        <app-root></app-root>
    </body>
</html>

The only change made was in the cropper.min.css file that is now included. You can use it as part of the CDN or download it to be included directly within your project.

Before we get into the core code, let’s create a component to hold our image manipulation code:

ng g component ImageCropper

The above command will create appropriate TypeScript, HTML, and CSS files for our new component. You’ll see how each of these are used in the next step.

Manipulate Images with Simple JavaScript in the Browser

We’re going to do most of our development in the new component that we had just created, but before we do that, you might want to find an image to use. For this example, the image should be placed in the project’s src/assets directory.

Open the project’s src/app/image-cropper/image-cropper.component.css file and include the following CSS:

.img-container {
    width: 640px;
    height: 480px;
    float: left;
}

.img-preview {
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
    float: left;
    margin-left: 10px;
}

The above CSS is not critical to the success of our project, but it makes it a little more attractive to look at. Essentially we are defining the source canvas size and the destination image size.

Now open the project’s src/app/image-cropper/image-cropper.component.html file where we can add the markup for our component:

<div class="img-container">
    <img #image [src]="imageSource" crossorigin>
</div>
<img [src]="imageDestination" class="img-preview">

We’re getting a little ahead of ourselves here, but we have two <img> components, one for our source image and one for our destination image. Each component has a src variable that we’ll define later in our TypeScript. Notice that the source image has an #image attribute on it. This is a reference variable that we’ll use within the TypeScript, giving us access to the DOM element. Remember, we can’t just use query selectors in Angular like we can vanilla JavaScript.

With the component HTML out of the way, open the project’s src/app/image-cropper/image-cropper.component.ts file where we’ll do a bulk of the work:

import { Component, OnInit, ViewChild, Input, ElementRef } from '@angular/core';
import Cropper from "cropperjs";

@Component({
    selector: 'image-cropper',
    templateUrl: './image-croppper.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./image-croppper.component.css']
})
export class ImageCroppperComponent implements OnInit {

    @ViewChild("image", { static: false })
    public imageElement: ElementRef;

    @Input("src")
    public imageSource: string;

    public imageDestination: string;
    private cropper: Cropper;

    public constructor() {
        this.imageDestination = "";
    }

    public ngAfterViewInit() {
        this.cropper = new Cropper(this.imageElement.nativeElement, {
            zoomable: false,
            scalable: false,
            aspectRatio: 1,
            crop: () => {
                const canvas = this.cropper.getCroppedCanvas();
                this.imageDestination = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
            }
        });
    }

    public ngOnInit() { }

}

The above code is complete, but we’re going to break it down to explain what is happening. It isn’t much, but it is still good to know.

At the top we are importing the cropperjs package that we had previously downloaded and installed.

Remember that #image reference from the HTML file? We’re accessing it through the @ViewChild and mapping it to a variable to be used within our TypeScript code. The @Input is referring to a possible attribute called src which we’ll see later.

Because we’re working with elements in the view, we need to wait until the view has initialized before we make any attempts. To do this we can make use of the ngAfterViewInit method. Inside the ngAfterViewInit method we initialize our Cropper using the entire imageElement that we obtained from the HTML. During the initialization process we can define a few options. There are quite a few to choose from, but for us, we’re going to disable zooming and scaling of our image. In other words we’re only going to allow moving and cropping. We’re also going to define a crop box with a square aspect ratio. None of these are required options. The important option is the crop method, one of many possible event methods. The crop method is triggered every time something happens to the crop box. This is important to us because we want to constantly update our preview image.

The preview image is created by getting the cropped canvas and exporting it to an image.

At this point in time our component is done, but not yet being used. To use it, open the project’s src/app/app.component.html file and include the following:

<image-cropper src="assets/angular.png"></image-cropper>

Notice that we’re using image-cropper which is the selector value from the project’s src/app/image-cropper/image-cropper.component.ts file. We’re also using src which was the @Input that we defined in that same TypeScript file. The src should reference an image within our src/assets directory.

**Encryption
**

The app should not let unauthorized users join the meeting. Therefore, your app should be embedded with end-to-end encryption. By doing this, no one can join the meeting without the permission of the host.

**Zoom clone app development - How much does it cost?
**

When it comes to the Zoom like app development cost, it mainly depends on your app features and functionality.

There is a rough estimation that the app cost is less when you plan to incorporate the basic features. You have to invest a particular amount of money in including the advanced and new features.

Other important features that determine the price are the geographical location, app platform, and time frame.

**Final note
**

Hoping so, this article helps you in knowing the feature-set to integrate into a video conferencing app like Zoom. However, there is no doubt that the requirement for video conferencing apps is high.

As Zoom being the most popular app, incorporate the same features in your app and include additional features that Zoom has failed to work. Approach Uber Like App for Zoom like app development.
