Get HTML from Delta on Quill


I am trying to get HTML code from delta on Quill.

This is my code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

<!-- Main Quill library -->
<script src="http://cdn.quilljs.com/1.2.0/quill.js"></script>
<script src="http://cdn.quilljs.com/1.2.0/quill.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<!-- Theme included stylesheets -->
<link href="http://cdn.quilljs.com/1.2.0/quill.snow.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="http://cdn.quilljs.com/1.2.0/quill.bubble.css" rel="stylesheet">


    <title>Editor</title>

</head>
<body>
<div id="toolbar"></div>
<div id="editor"></div>
<script>

var toolbarOptions = [
['bold', 'italic', 'underline', 'strike'],
['blockquote', 'code-block'],
[{'header': 1}, {'header': 2}],
[{'list': 'ordered'}, {'list': 'bullet'}],
[{'script': 'sub'}, {'script': 'super'}],
[{'indent': '-1'}, {'indent': '+1'}],
[{'direction': 'rtl'}],
[{'size': ['small', false, 'large', 'huge']}],
['link', 'image', 'video', 'formula'],
[{'color': []}, {'background': []}],
[{'font': []}],
[{'align': []}]
];
var options = {
  debug: 'info',
  modules: {
    toolbar: toolbarOptions
  },
  placeholder: 'Textttt',
  readOnly: false,
  theme: 'snow'
};
var editor = new Quill('#editor', options);
    var delta = quill.getContents();
function quillGetHTML(inputDelta) {
    var tempCont = document.createElement("div");
    (new Quill(tempCont)).setContents(inputDelta);
    return tempCont.getElementsByClassName("ql-editor")[0].innerHTML;
}
function callMe(){
$(document).ready(function(){$("#btn1").click(function(){$("p").append(quillGetHTML(delta));});});}
</script>
<p>HTML: </p>
<button id="btn1" onClick="callMe()">Get HTML From Delta</button>
</body>
</html>

When I click on the button, nothing appears, I checked callMe() function and it works, this means that the problem is extracting HTML from delta.


Solution

  • Yes you're right, extracting HTML not work, but the problem is quill refuse to support getHTML() function. https://github.com/quilljs/quill/issues/903

    But you can use quill.root.innerHTML. Try this:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
      <meta charset="utf-8">
      <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">

    </head>
    <body>
    
      <div id="toolbar"></div>
    <div id="editor"></div>
    <div id="myDiv" style="border:1 black solid;"></div>
    <script>
    
    var toolbarOptions = [
    ['bold', 'italic', 'underline', 'strike'],
    ['blockquote', 'code-block'],
    [{'header': 1}, {'header': 2}],
    [{'list': 'ordered'}, {'list': 'bullet'}],
    [{'script': 'sub'}, {'script': 'super'}],
    [{'indent': '-1'}, {'indent': '+1'}],
    [{'direction': 'rtl'}],
    [{'size': ['small', false, 'large', 'huge']}],
    ['link', 'image', 'video', 'formula'],
    [{'color': []}, {'background': []}],
    [{'font': []}],
    [{'align': []}]
    ];
    var options = {
      debug: 'info',
      modules: {
        toolbar: toolbarOptions
      },
      placeholder: 'Textttt',
      readOnly: false,
      theme: 'snow'
    };
    var editor = new Quill('#editor', options);
      editor.insertText(0, 'Hello', 'bold', true);//set init value
    function callMe() //display current HTML
      {
        var html = editor.root.innerHTML;
        var myDiv     = document.getElementById("myDiv");
        myDiv.innerText = html;
      }
    </script>
    <div>HTML: </div>
    <button id="btn1" onClick="callMe()">Get HTML From Delta</button>
      
    </body>
    </html>
    

    If this editor (quill) is not support getHTML (which is important for future use). I recommend you to use another text editor library like: ckeditor which my best recommendation in 4 years used it (absolutely I try many text editors too in that period).
