Angular Block Editor Component

Using this package with an AI coding agent

Before generating Syncfusion code, ask your AI coding agent to run the Syncfusion setup using the following prompt:

Set up this project for Syncfusion before generating code. Fetch
and follow the official instructions at https://ai.syncfusion.com,
then report the detected platform, installed skill pack, MCP
status, and any required licensing action.

The setup detects your project’s platform and loads the appropriate Syncfusion skill pack. No Syncfusion account or MCP key is required to install or read Syncfusion agent skills.

The Syncfusion Angular Block Editor is a modern, block-based editor for creating rich and structured content. It is ideal for document editing, knowledge bases, note-taking, and content creation applications. The editor features an intuitive user interface, mobile support, and a modular architecture. It supports a variety of block types, inline elements such as mentions, links, and labels, slash commands, contextual menus, and real-time collaboration for simultaneous multi-user editing. The editor also provides well-structured content models and can generate valid HTML when required.

⚡️ Quick Start

This guide uses the Angular CLI as the development environment for the Angular Block Editor. Install Node.js v18 or later, and the Angular CLI v14 or later, before proceeding.

Create an Angular application

To set up the Angular CLI globally, run the following command.

npm install -g @angular/cli

Then create a new application:

ng new my-app

This command prompts you to configure the stylesheet format, Server-Side Rendering (SSR/SSG), and AI tooling options. Select the options that best fit the project.

Navigate to the project folder:

cd my-app

Install the Block Editor package

The @syncfusion/ej2-angular-blockeditor package supports Angular 14 and later.

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-blockeditor

Add the CSS reference

Install the Syncfusion® Tailwind 3 theme package:

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-material3-theme --save

Then add the following CSS reference to the src/styles.css file:

@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-material3-theme/styles/blockeditor/index.css';

Add the Block Editor component to your application

Add the Block Editor component to the src/app/app.ts file:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { BlockEditorModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-blockeditor';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  imports: [BlockEditorModule],
  template: `<ejs-blockeditor id="blockEditor" height="500px"></ejs-blockeditor>`
})
export class App {}

Run the application

ng serve --open

Now, open your project in a browser, and the Block Editor will be displayed! 🚀
