If you want to interact with CKEditor 4 without writing a CKEditor 4
plugin, you can add a standard Ext JS action to the toolbar of the
RichTextPropertyField. To gain access to CKEditor 4 you
have to create a class for your action and add the following
config parameter
ckEditorValueExpression:ValueExpression;
The injected editor object is of type
CKEDITOR.editor (see
CKEditor 4 API docs)
and can be used according to your needs.
However, there are two things to consider when writing your own custom actions:
Undo / Redo: In order to be able to undo / redo the changes your action has made, you have to send one
saveSnapshotevent before and one after making the changes, like so:this.editor.fire('saveSnapshot'); // perform changes ... this.editor.fire('saveSnapshot');Saving Changes: In order to update the bound content with the changes your action has made, it may be necessary to send an additional
saveevent. This event is recognized by the property field, which will then trigger the update. CKEditor 4 already tracks changes and the property field will react to it, but in some cases this is impossible. You should check if the content gets checked-out when your action is performed, and if not add the following code:// perform changes ... editor.fire('save');
