Methods

Name Summary Defined by

add()

Adds an editor instance to the editor collection. This will also set it as the active editor.

tinymce

addI18n()

Adds a language pack, this gets called by the loaded language files like en.js.

tinymce

createEditor()

Creates an editor instance and adds it to the EditorManager collection.

tinymce

each()

Performs an iteration of all items in a collection such as an object or array. This method will execute the callback function for each item in the collection, if the callback returns false the iteration will terminate. The callback has the following format: cb(value, key_or_index).

tinymce

execCommand()

Executes a specific command on the currently active editor.

tinymce

explode()

Splits a string but removes the whitespace before and after each value.

tinymce

get()

Returns an editor instance for a given id.

tinymce

grep()

Filters out items from the input array by calling the specified function for each item. If the function returns false the item will be excluded if it returns true it will be included.

tinymce

hasOwnProperty()

JavaScript does not protect hasOwnProperty method, so it is possible to overwrite it. This is an object independent version. Checks if the input object obj has the property prop.

tinymce

inArray()

Returns an index of the item or -1 if item is not present in the array.

tinymce

init()

Initializes a set of editors. This method will create editors based on various settings.

For information on basic usage of init, see: Basic setup.

tinymce

is()

Checks if a object is of a specific type for example an array.

tinymce

isArray()

Returns true/false if the object is an array or not.

tinymce

makeMap()

Makes a name/object map out of an array with names.

tinymce

map()

Creates a new array by the return value of each iteration function call. This enables you to convert one array list into another.

tinymce

overrideDefaults()

Overrides the default options for editor instances. The overrideDefaults method replaces the defaultOptions, including any set by a previous call to the overrideDefaults method.

When using the Tiny Cloud, some of these defaults are required for the cloud-based editor to function.

Therefore, when using overrideDefaults with the cloud-based editor, any newly integrated options must be combined with the options in tinymce.defaultOptions.

tinymce

remove()

Removes a editor or editors form page.

tinymce

resolve()

Resolves a string and returns the object from a specific structure.

tinymce

setActive()
