To use the rich text editor KindEditor, you first need to download and include KindEditor’s JS and CSS files. Then, create a textarea element on the page as the editor’s input box.

Next, after the page is loaded, initialize the KindEditor editor using JavaScript code. The specific steps are as follows:

  1. To include the JS and CSS files of KindEditor on the page, you can add the following code in the head tag to import the CSS file of KindEditor.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="kindeditor/themes/default/default.css">

To import the KindEditor JavaScript file, add the following code just before the closing body tag of the page.

<script type="text/javascript" src="kindeditor/kindeditor.js"></script>
  1. Create a textarea element as the input box for the editor, and give it a unique id attribute. For example:
<textarea id="editor"></textarea>
  1. After the page is fully loaded, use JavaScript code to initialize the KindEditor editor. For example:
<script type="text/javascript">
    KindEditor.ready(function(K) {
        var editor = K.create('#editor');
    });
</script>

This completes the initialization of the KindEditor editor. You can customize the style and functionality of the editor as needed by configuring parameters. For detailed configuration parameters, please refer to the official documentation of KindEditor.

After the initialization is complete, you can use the editor object to manipulate the editor, such as setting content, getting content, and so on. You can set the content of the editor using the following code:

editor.html('<p>This is the content of the editor.</p>');

You can retrieve the content of the editor using the following code:

var content = editor.html();

Aside from setting and retrieving content, KindEditor also offers a wide range of APIs for handling images, inserting links, adding styles, and other operations. To learn more about these functions, you can refer to the official KindEditor documentation.
