main #

0.18.0 #

• Rails 8 ready for Importmaps / SQLite out of the box. Enjoy! rails richer_text:install is all you need to do once you add the gem!

0.17.0 #

• Added RicherText.default_text_renderer= setter, to allow you to write a custom TextVisitor for rendering plain text.
• Added to_plain_text method to JsonText records for rendering plain text.

class TextVisitor < RicherText::TextVisitor
  # ... your overridden methods here
end

# initializer somewhere
Rails.configuration.to_prepare do
  RicherText.default_renderer = HtmlVisitor.new  # if you had a HtmlVisitor also defined.
  RicherText.default_text_renderer = TextVisitor.new
end

0.16.0 #

– Use stable channel for installing RicherText.js

0.15.0 #

• Use beta channel for installing RicherText.js

0.14.0 #

• Added RicherText.default_form_options as a configuration option.

You can specify in an initializer default options to avoid needing to specify them on every form, and override them on a per form basis.

Rails.application.config.to_prepare do
  RicherText.default_form_options = {
    class: "min-h-[10rem]",
    callouts: true,
    tables: true,
    oembed: false
  }
end

• Added IframelyEmbed node

0.13.0 #

• Fixed Rails 7.2 compatability
• Updated install script to install RicherText.js v2 from the alpha channel

0.10.0 #

• Add support for RicherTextEmbed nodes, allowing the rendering of richer-text-embed html tags as a rendered partial for the Embeddable object.
• Adds support for application models including RicherText::Embeddable
• Adds RicherText::Embed class which can be used to look up a given sgid to return the embeddable object.

0.9.0 #

• Added support for @mention nodes on the Ruby gem side. Requires RicherText.js v0.14 or higher.
  • Mention nodes are supported for either HTML or JSON renderers. For full support, it’s recommended you use JSON storage.
  • You can return the mentionees from any RichText record, for example: post.body.mentionees will return the parsed HTML/JSON mentionees. This requires you to be using Global IDs from your JSON endpoint the RicherText.js receives.

0.8.0 #

• Added basic support for Rhino Editor to use RicherText to store JSON from the editor. Richer Text will handle attaching and saving ActiveStorage attachments so you don’t need to worry about storing them yourself.
• This includes a rhino_text_area form helper to render the Rhino Editor using the JSON serializer

To use:

  has_richer_text :body, store_as: :json

  
    <%= form.label :body %>
    <%= form.rhino_text_area :body %>
  

Requires users to manually install Rhino Editor’s JavaScript and CSS respectively first. Valid with Rhino Editor v0.8.4 or higher.

Attachment support for rendering is still a work in progress. Pull Requests are welcome!

0.7.0 #

• Renamed has_richer_text :attribute, json: true to has_richer_text :attribute, store_as: :json
