Using the TinyMCE package with the Vue.js framework

The Official TinyMCE Vue.js component integrates TinyMCE into Vue.js projects, providing a powerful WYSIWYG editor within the Vue ecosystem. This procedure creates a basic Vue.js application containing a TinyMCE editor.

Version 4 and later of the tinymce-vue package supports Vue.js 3.x, but does not support Vue.js 2.x. For Vue.js 2.x applications, use tinymce-vue version 3.

Prerequisites

This procedure requires:

Procedure

  1. Create a new Vue project named tinymce-vue-demo using the Create Vue Tool.

    • From a command line or command prompt create a Vue.js 3.x project: tinymce-vue-demo.

      npm create vue@3

    • If a Vue.js 2.x project is required, instead use:

      npm create vue@2
      As per the Vue FAQ, Vue 2 will reach End of Life by the end of 2023.

    • Follow the prompts and type tinymce-vue-demo as the project name.

  2. Change into the newly created directory.

    cd tinymce-vue-demo

  3. Install the tinymce and tinymce-vue packages.

    • For Vue.js 3.x users:

      npm install tinymce "@tinymce/tinymce-vue"

    • For Vue.js 2.x users:

      npm install tinymce "@tinymce/tinymce-vue@^3"

  4. (Optional) For premium plugins, install the tinymce-premium package:

    npm install tinymce-premium@^8.3

    For more information, see: Installing premium plugins.

  5. Using a text editor, open /path/to/tinymce-vue-demo/src/App.vue.

    1. Add a TinyMCE configuration to the <template> using the <editor> tag.

    2. Add import Editor from '@tinymce/tinymce-vue' to the start of the <script>.

    For example:
    <script setup>
import Editor from '@tinymce/tinymce-vue'
</script>

<template>
  <main id="sample">
    <img alt="Vue logo" class="logo" src="./assets/logo.svg" width="125" height="125" />
    <editor
      id="uuid"
      licenseKey="gpl"
      :init="{
        plugins: 'advlist anchor autolink charmap code fullscreen help image insertdatetime link lists media preview searchreplace table visualblocks wordcount',
        toolbar: 'undo redo | styles | bold italic underline strikethrough | alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | bullist numlist outdent indent | link image',
        height: 500,
      }"
    />
  </main>
</template>

<style scoped>
.logo {
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto 2rem;
}

@media (min-width: 1024px) {
  #sample {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    place-items: center;
    width: 1000px;
  }
}
</style>

  6. Test the application using the Node.js development server.

    • To start the development server, navigate to the tinymce-vue-demo directory and run:

      npm run dev

    • To stop the development server, select on the command line or command prompt and press Ctrl+C.

Deploying the application to a HTTP server

The application will require further configuration before it can be deployed to a production environment. For information on configuring the application for deployment, see: Vue.js - Production Deployment.
