Rich Editor

Using Rich Editor in KtorAdmin

KtorAdmin integrates TinyMCE as the rich text editor. To use it, simply annotate the desired field with @RichEditor:

@RichEditor
val description = text("description")

Custom Configuration

You can customize the TinyMCE configuration using tinyMCEConfig in the KtorAdmin setup:

install(KtorAdmin) {
    tinyMCEConfig = TinyMCEConfig(
        // Custom settings
    )
}

KtorAdmin provides two predefined configurations:

  • Basic (default)TinyMCEConfig.Basic

  • ProfessionalTinyMCEConfig.Professional

File Upload

To enable file uploads, set the uploadTarget inside the configuration. Example:

tinyMCEConfig = TinyMCEConfig.Professional.copy(uploadTarget = UploadTarget.LocalFile(path = null))

Note: Either path must be provided or mediaPath must be set beforehand. Additionally, mediaRoot is required.
