Medium Editor for Polymer

A project that integrates medium-editor to polymer. I also included medium-editor-insert-plugin so user can insert pictures and videos.

Note: For now, this project is very limited. This is my first polymer component, so there's still much to learn. Please submit pull-rquest or email me if there's something that needs to be improved.

Todo List

There's still several things needed to be done to improve the projects:

• add a test (haven't figured out how to do. some clue)
• integrate a build system (e.g. vulcanize)

How to Use

First step is to include the editor in your HTML file:

<script src="/path/to/webcomponentsjs/webcomponents-lite.js"></script>
<link rel="import" href="path/to/medium-editor-polymer.html">

webcomponents is a library provided by Polymer to add web component support to browsers that don't support it yet. After importing both of those, you can directly use the component in your HTML:

<medium-editor-polymer upload-url="/image/upload/path" upload-method="PUT">
</medium-editor-polymer>

If you want to insert some content by default for the editor, you can also directly insert some content inside the element, just like a regular HTML element:

<medium-editor-polymer upload-url="/image/upload/path" upload-method="PUT">
    <h2>This is some example content</h2>
    <p> 
        You can insert anything here, 
        from some random text to the text 
        you want to be edited.
    </p>
</medium-editor-polymer>

The editor currently has four attributes you can use:

 Attribute      |  Type  | Value

--------------------|--------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- upload-url | String | URL of your server that can receive image upload. Default: "" upload-method | String | HTTP Method for upload-url. Default: PUT upload-data-type | Object | Data type your server recieve. Default: /(\.|\/)(gif|jpe?g|png)$/i upload-field-name | String | The parameter name you'd like to use for uploaded image. Default: "image"

Methods

There's several methods you can use with the editor, mostly for getting content out of it:

   Method      |  Parameter  | Return Value | Description

-------------------|-------------|--------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- getEditorContent | - | String | Get the editor's HTML content. You can use this to send the content to server for example.

Events

The editor support several events related to the content:

   Attribute      | Value

----------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------ image-upload-failed | Event triggered when image upload process failed due to server or other issue
