Properties
-
insert : ImageInsertConfig | undefined
module:image/imageconfig~ImageConfig#insert
The image insert configuration.
-
resizeOptions : Array<ImageResizeOption> | undefined
module:image/imageconfig~ImageConfig#resizeOptions
The image resize options.
Each option should have at least these two properties:
- name: The name of the UI component registered in the global component factory of the editor, representing the button a user can click to change the size of an image,
- value: An actual image width applied when a user clicks the mentioned button
(
ResizeImageCommand
gets executed). The value property is combined with theconfig.image.resizeUnit
(%
by default). For instance:value: '50'
andresizeUnit: '%'
will render as'50%'
in the UI.
Resetting the image size
If you want to set an option that will reset image to its original size, you need to pass a
null
value to one of the options. The:original
token is not mandatory, you can call it anything you wish, but it must reflect in the standalone buttons configuration for the image toolbar.ClassicEditor .create( editorElement, { image: { resizeUnit: "%", resizeOptions: [ { name: 'resizeImage:original', value: null }, { name: 'resizeImage:50', value: '50' }, { name: 'resizeImage:75', value: '75' } ] } } ) .then( ... ) .catch( ... );
Resizing images using a dropdown
With resize options defined, you can decide whether you want to display them as a dropdown or as standalone buttons. For the dropdown, you need to pass only the
resizeImage
token to theconfig.image.toolbar
. The dropdown contains all defined options by default:ClassicEditor .create( editorElement, { image: { resizeUnit: "%", resizeOptions: [ { name: 'resizeImage:original', value: null }, { name: 'resizeImage:50', value: '50' }, { name: 'resizeImage:75', value: '75' } ], toolbar: [ 'resizeImage', ... ], } } ) .then( ... ) .catch( ... );
Resizing images using individual buttons
If you want to have separate buttons for each option, pass their names to the
config.image.toolbar
instead. Please keep in mind that this time you must define the additionalicon
property:ClassicEditor .create( editorElement, { image: { resizeUnit: "%", resizeOptions: [ { name: 'resizeImage:original', value: null, icon: 'original' }, { name: 'resizeImage:25', value: '25', icon: 'small' }, { name: 'resizeImage:50', value: '50', icon: 'medium' }, { name: 'resizeImage:75', value: '75', icon: 'large' } ], toolbar: [ 'resizeImage:25', 'resizeImage:50', 'resizeImage:75', 'resizeImage:original', ... ], } } ) .then( ... ) .catch( ... );
Customizing resize button labels
You can set your own label for each resize button. To do that, add the
label
property like in the example below.- When using the dropdown, the labels are displayed on the list of all options when you open the dropdown.
- When using standalone buttons, the labels will are displayed as tooltips when a user hovers over the button.
ClassicEditor .create( editorElement, { image: { resizeUnit: "%", resizeOptions: [ { name: 'resizeImage:original', value: null, label: 'Original size' // Note: add the "icon" property if you're configuring a standalone button. }, { name: 'resizeImage:50', value: '50', label: 'Medium size' // Note: add the "icon" property if you're configuring a standalone button. }, { name: 'resizeImage:75', value: '75', label: 'Large size' // Note: add the "icon" property if you're configuring a standalone button. } ] } } ) .then( ... ) .catch( ... );
Default value
The following configuration is used by default:
resizeOptions = [ { name: 'resizeImage:original', value: null, icon: 'original' }, { name: 'resizeImage:25', value: '25', icon: 'small' }, { name: 'resizeImage:50', value: '50', icon: 'medium' }, { name: 'resizeImage:75', value: '75', icon: 'large' } ];
-
resizeUnit : 'px' | '%' | undefined
module:image/imageconfig~ImageConfig#resizeUnit
The available options are
'px'
or'%'
.Determines the size unit applied to the resized image.
ClassicEditor .create( editorElement, { image: { resizeUnit: 'px' } } ) .then( ... ) .catch( ... );
This option is used by the
ImageResize
feature.Defaults to
'%'
-
styles : ImageStyleConfig | undefined
module:image/imageconfig~ImageConfig#styles
The
ImageStyle
plugin requires a list of the image style options to work properly. The default configuration is provided (listed below) and can be customized while creating the editor instance.Command
The
imageStyleCommand
is configured based on the defined options, so you can change the style of the selected image by executing the following command:editor.execute( 'imageStyle' { value: 'alignLeft' } );
Buttons
All of the image style options provided in the configuration are registered in the UI components factory with the "imageStyle:" prefixes and can be used in the image toolbar configuration. The buttons available by default depending on the loaded plugins are listed in the next section.
Read more about styling images in the Image styles guide.
Default options and buttons
If the custom configuration is not provided, the default configuration will be used depending on the loaded image editing plugins.
- If both
ImageBlockEditing
andImageInlineEditing
plugins are loaded (which is usually the default editor configuration), the following options will be available for the toolbar configuration. These options will be registered as the buttons with the "imageStyle:" prefixes.
const imageDefaultConfig = { styles: { options: [ 'inline', 'alignLeft', 'alignRight', 'alignCenter', 'alignBlockLeft', 'alignBlockRight', 'block', 'side' ] } };
- If only the
ImageBlockEditing
plugin is loaded, the following buttons (options) and groups will be available for the toolbar configuration. These options will be registered as the buttons with the "imageStyle:" prefixes.
const imageDefaultConfig = { styles: { options: [ 'block', 'side' ] } };
- If only the
ImageInlineEditing
plugin is loaded, the following buttons (options) and groups will available for the toolbar configuration. These options will be registered as the buttons with the "imageStyle:" prefixes.
const imageDefaultConfig = { styles: { options: [ 'inline', 'alignLeft', 'alignRight' ] } };
Read more about the default styling options.
Custom configuration
The image styles configuration can be customized in several ways:
- Any of the default styling options can be loaded by the reference to its name as follows:
ClassicEditor .create( editorElement, { image: { styles: { options: [ 'alignLeft', 'alignRight' ] } } } );
- Each of the default image style options can be customized,
e.g. to change the
icon
,title
or CSSclassName
of the style. The feature also provides several default icons to choose from.
import customIcon from 'custom-icon.svg'; // ... ClassicEditor.create( editorElement, { image: styles: { options: { // This will only customize the icon of the "block" style. // Note: 'right' is one of default icons provided by the feature. { name: 'block', icon: 'right' }, // This will customize the icon, title and CSS class of the default "side" style. { name: 'side', icon: customIcon, title: 'My side style', className: 'custom-side-image' } } } } );
- If none of the default image style options works for the integration, it is possible to define independent custom styles, too.
See the documentation about the image style options to define the custom image style configuration properly.
import redIcon from 'red-icon.svg'; import blueIcon from 'blue-icon.svg'; // ... ClassicEditor.create( editorElement, { image: styles: { // A list of completely custom styling options. options: [ { name: 'regular', modelElements: [ 'imageBlock', 'imageInline' ], title: 'Regular image', icon: 'full', isDefault: true }, { name: 'blue', modelElements: [ 'imageInline' ], title: 'Blue image', icon: blueIcon, className: 'image-blue' }, { name: 'red', modelElements: [ 'imageBlock' ], title: 'Red image', icon: redIcon, className: 'image-red' } ] } } );
