Summernote Rails

This gem was built to package the assets used in Summernote, the Super Simple WYSIWYG Editor, for Ruby on Rails version >= 3.1.

The version of summernote-rails (X.Y.Z) is matched with that of original summernote editor.

Note: From Rails 6+, webpack is used as the default javascript package (or module) bundler. Therefore, without summernote-rails, you can use the summernote javascript package using webpacker gem in Rails 6+. If you want to know about it more, you can visit here.

Installation

Environments:

• Ruby 2.7.5
• Gems :
  • Rails
  • Simple Form (optional)
  • Bootstrap (optional)

Add the following gems to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rails'
gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'bootstrap' # optional
gem 'simple_form' # optional
gem 'summernote-rails', '~> 0.8.20.0'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Import assets

Lite version (without Bootstrap)

@import "summernote-lite";

In app/assets/javascripts/application.js, you should add as follows:

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require summernote/summernote-lite.min
//= require_tree .

Bootstrap 5 version

@import "bootstrap";
@import "summernote-bs5";

In app/assets/javascripts/application.js, you should add as follows:

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require popper
//= require bootstrap
//= require summernote/summernote-bs5.min
//= require_tree .

Note: If you use SimpleForm with Bootstrap, you must execute rails g simple_form --bootstrap in Terminal.

Usage

To use Summernote in a form, add a data-provider="summernote" to an input.

<%= form_for @article do |f| %>
  <div class="field">
    <%= f.label :text %>
    <%= f.text_area :text, data: { provider: 'summernote' } %>
  </div>
<% end %>

If you are using simple_form, you can use the :summernote input type.

<%= simple_form_for @article do |f| %>
  <%= f.input :text, as: :summernote %>
<% end %>

After creating app/assets/javascripts/application/summernote-init.js, you can write the following code:

$(function () {
    'use strict';
    $('[data-provider="summernote"]').each(function () {
        $(this).summernote({
          height: 300
        });
    });
});
