Tiny Mce Two way Binding with Angular 2/4


This is my tinymce.component.ts

import {
  Component,
  OnDestroy,
  AfterViewInit,
  EventEmitter,
  Input,
  Output
} from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'simple-tiny',
  template: `<textarea id="{{elementId}}"></textarea>`
})
export class SimpleTinyComponent implements AfterViewInit, OnDestroy {
  @Input() elementId: String;
  @Output() onEditorKeyup = new EventEmitter<any>();

  editor;

  ngAfterViewInit() {
    tinymce.init({
      selector: '#' + this.elementId,
      plugins: ['link', 'paste', 'table'],
      skin_url: 'assets/skins/lightgray',
      setup: editor => {
        this.editor = editor;
        editor.on('keyup', () => {
          const content = editor.getContent();
          this.onEditorKeyup.emit(content);
        });
      },
    });
  }

  ngOnDestroy() {
    tinymce.remove(this.editor);
  }
}

and now i am using it my html as under now i can get the text through the keyupHandlerFunction but i want 2 way binding with ngModel

<simple-tiny
      [elementId]="'my-editor-id'"
      (onEditorKeyup)="keyupHandlerFunction($event)"
     >
</simple-tiny>

This code is what the tinyMCE have suggested but i want ngModel here for 2 way binding how can i do it here

like:

<simple-tiny
      [elementId]="'my-editor-id'"
      (onEditorKeyup)="keyupHandlerFunction($event)"
      [(ngModel)]="value">
</simple-tiny>

<p>{{ "My Model" + model}} </p>

Solution

  • You should implement ControlValueAccessor something like this:

    export const TINYMCE_VALUE_ACCESSOR: any = {
      provide: NG_VALUE_ACCESSOR,
      useExisting: forwardRef(() => SimpleTinyComponent),
      multi: true
    };
    
    @Component({
      selector: 'simple-tiny',
      template: `<textarea #textArea [value]="value"></textarea>`,
      providers: [TINYMCE_VALUE_ACCESSOR]
    })
    export class SimpleTinyComponent implements AfterViewInit, 
                                         OnDestroy,  ControlValueAccessor {
      @Input() elementId: String;
    
      @ViewChild('textArea') textArea: ElementRef;
    
      editor: any;
    
      value: string;
    
      onChange = (_: any) => { };
    
      constructor(private zone: NgZone) {}
    
      writeValue(value: any): void {
        this.value = value;
        if (this.editor) {
           this.editor.setContent(value || '');
        }
      }
    
      ngAfterViewInit() {
        tinymce.init({
          target: this.textArea.nativeElement,
          plugins: ['link', 'paste', 'table'],
          setup: editor => {
            this.editor = editor;
            editor.on('keyup', () => {
              const content = editor.getContent();
              this.zone.run(() => this.onChange(content))
            });
          }
        });
      }
    
      registerOnChange(fn: (_: any) => void): void { this.onChange = fn; }
      registerOnTouched(fn: () => void): void { }
    
      ngOnDestroy() {
        tinymce.remove(this.editor);
      }
    }
