Integrate Document Authoring (WYSIWYG library) using CDN

This guide walks you through the process of integrating the Document Authoring — what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG) TypeScript library — into your web application using a Content Delivery Network (CDN). By following these steps, you’ll be able to set up in-browser visual editing capabilities without the need for external word processing software.

  1. Create an index.html file and paste the following code in it:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <title>My app</title>
        <style>
          body {
            margin: 0;
          }
          .my-editor {
            position: relative;
            width: 100%;
            height: 100vh;
          }
        </style>
      </head>
      <body>
        <div id="editor" class="my-editor"></div>
        <script src="https://document-authoring.cdn.nutrient.io/releases/document-authoring-1.7.1-umd.js"></script>
        <script>
          (async () => {
            const docAuthSystem = await DocAuth.createDocAuthSystem();
    

            const editor = await docAuthSystem.createEditor(document.getElementById('editor'), {
              document: await docAuthSystem.createDocumentFromPlaintext('Hello world!'),
            });
          })();
        </script>
      </body>
    </html>

  2. Open the file in your browser, and you’ll see the default setup of the Document Authoring editor.
