Demo

View it in action at https://mat-markdown-editor.firebaseapp.com

Edit on StackBlitz: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-w4tejv

Dependencies

• Angular (requires Angular 2 or higher, tested with 2.0.0)
• Angular Material

Installation

Install above dependencies via npm.

Now install mat-markdown-editor via:

npm install --save mat-markdown-editor

Add the following to your index.html (or configure via angular-cli.json)

• Marked JS
• Hightlight JS
• Ace Editor

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ace/1.2.8/ace.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/marked/0.3.6/marked.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/9.12.0/highlight.min.js"></script>

SystemJS

Note:If you are using SystemJS, you should adjust your configuration to point to the UMD bundle. In your systemjs config file, map needs to tell the System loader where to look for mat-markdown-editor:

map: {
  'mat-markdown-editor': 'node_modules/mat-markdown-editor/bundles/mat-markdown-editor.umd.js',
}

Once installed you need to import the main module:

import { MatMarkdownEditorModule } from 'mat-markdown-editor';

The only remaining part is to list the imported module in your application module. The exact method will be slightly different for the root (top-level) module for which you should end up with the code similar to (notice MatMarkdownEditorModule.forRoot()):

import { MatMarkdownEditorModule } from 'mat-markdown-editor';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent, ...],
  imports: [MatMarkdownEditorModule.forRoot(), ...],  
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
}

Other modules in your application can simply import MatMarkdownEditorModule:

import { MatMarkdownEditorModule } from 'mat-markdown-editor';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [OtherComponent, ...],
  imports: [MatMarkdownEditorModule, ...], 
})
export class OtherModule {
}

Usage

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { MatMarkdownEditorOptions } from 'mat-markdown-editor';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-home',
  template: `
      <form #form="ngForm">
        <mat-markdown-editor
          [(ngModel)]="content"
          [options]="options"
          name="Content"
          maxlength="500"
          required>
        </mat-markdown-editor>
      </form>
  `,
})
export class HomeComponent {
  public options: MatMarkdownEditorOptions = {
    enablePreviewContentClick: false,
    resizable: true,
    showBorder: true,
    hideIcons: {},
    hideToolbar: false,
    height: '500px',
    mode: 'editor',
    toolbarColor: 'primary',
    preRender: this.preRender,
  };

  preRender(markDown: any) {
    // Here you have access to the markdown binding
    // before it is rendered
    return markDown;
  }
}

All options can be found here
