Have you ever wanted to change the color of the font, or the background color of the text in the document you’re editing in the dijir.Editor? If so, then this plugin is for you. The dijit._editor.plugins.TextColor plugin provides two action buttons on the editor toolbar for changing those items. Each make use of the dijit ColorPicker, so they are simple to use.
Features¶
Once required in and enabled, this plugin provides the following features to dijit.Editor.
Button with icon in toolbar for changing the color of the selected text.
Button with icon in toolbar for changing the background color of the selected text.
Use of dijit.ColorPicker for easy color selection.
The plugins are registrable in the editor via the following commands:
foreColor - Enable the the text color plugin.
hiliteColor - Enable the text background color plugin.
Usage¶
Basic Usage¶
Usage of this plugin is quite simple and painless. The first thing you need to do is require into the page you’re using the editor. This is done in the same spot all your dojo.require calls are made, usually a head script tag. For example:
dojo.require("dijit.Editor");
dojo.require("dijit.editor._plugins.TextColor");
Once it has been required in, all you have to do is include it in the list of extraPlugins (or the plugins property if you're reorganizing the toolbar) for you want to load into the editor. For example:
<div dojoType="dijit.Editor" id="editor" extraPlugins="['foreColor', 'hiliteColor']"></div>
And that's it. The editor instance you can reference by 'dijit.byId("editor")' is now enabled with the TextColor plugin! You can use the buttons to alter the colors of selected text.
