The Official {productname} Angular component integrates {productname} into Angular projects. This procedure creates a basic Angular application containing a {productname} editor.

This procedure uses standalone components. If using Angular Modules, see Angular Modules.

For examples of the {productname} Angular integration, visit the tinymce-angular storybook.

Prerequisites

This procedure requires Node.js (and npm).

Procedure

1. On a command line or command prompt, install the Angular CLI Tool package.

   npm install -g @angular/cli

2. Create a new Angular project named tinymce-angular-demo.

   ng new --defaults --skip-git tinymce-angular-demo

3. Change into the newly created directory.

   cd tinymce-angular-demo

4. Install the tinymce-angular package.

   npm install @tinymce/tinymce-angular

5. Using a text editor, open /path/to/tinymce-angular-demo/src/app/app.component.ts and replace the contents with:

   import { Component } from '@angular/core';
   import { EditorComponent } from '@tinymce/tinymce-angular';
   
   @Component({
     selector: 'app-root',
     imports: [EditorComponent],
     template: `
     <h1>{productname} {productmajorversion} Angular Demo</h1>
     <editor
       [init]="init"
     />
     `
   })
   export class AppComponent {
     init: EditorComponent['init'] = {
       plugins: 'lists link image table code help wordcount'
     };
   }

6. Test the application using the Angular development server.

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

     ng serve --open

   • 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: Angular Docs - Building Angular Apps or Angular Docs - Deployment.

To deploy the application to a local HTTP Server:

1. Navigate to the tinymce-angular-demo directory and run:

   ng build

2. Copy the contents of the tinymce-angular-demo/dist/tinymce-angular-demo/browser directory to the root directory of the web server.

The application has now been deployed on the web server.

Note	Additional configuration is required to deploy the application outside the web server root directory, such as http://localhost:<port>/my_angular_application.

Angular Modules

EditorModule is available to import from @tinymce/tinymce-angular. Which should be included in your my.module.ts file.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { EditorModule } from '@tinymce/tinymce-angular';

@NgModule({
  /* ... */
  imports: [
    EditorModule
  ],
  /* ... */
})
export class MyModule {}
