TinyMCE jQuery integration quick start guide

The Official TinyMCE jQuery component integrates TinyMCE into jQuery projects.

Procedure

This procedure creates a basic jQuery integration containing a TinyMCE editor based on our Basic example.

Open an HTML file
Add a <script> element to get jQuery with a snippet from the official jQuery CDN page, which includes the integrity and crossorigin attributes.
Add the following <script> element to get TinyMCE from the Tiny Cloud:
```
<script src="https://cdn.tiny.cloud/1/no-api-key/tinymce/6/tinymce.min.js" referrerpolicy="origin"></script>
```
Replace no-api-key in the source script (<script src=…) with a Tiny Cloud API key, which is created when signing up to the Tiny Cloud.

Add the following <script> element to get the TinyMCE jQuery integration from the JS Delivr CDN:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tinymce/tinymce-jquery@2/dist/tinymce-jquery.min.js"></script>

Add an initialization point for TinyMCE, such as:

<div>
  <textarea id="tiny">&lt;p&gt;Encoded HTML content&lt;/p&gt;</textarea>
</div>

Add the TinyMCE jQuery init script. The TinyMCE selector is defined in the jQuery prefix, and any other settings are defined in the object passed to the tinymce method.
```
<script>
  $('textarea#tiny').tinymce({ height: 500, /* other settings... */ });
</script>
```

Example jQuery integration

To load a TinyMCE editor similar to the Basic example, add the following code to an empty HTML file.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <script
      src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"
      integrity="sha256-/xUj+3OJU5yExlq6GSYGSHk7tPXikynS7ogEvDej/m4="
      crossorigin="anonymous"
    ></script>
    <script
      src="https://cdn.tiny.cloud/1/no-api-key/tinymce/6/tinymce.min.js"
      referrerpolicy="origin"
    ></script>
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tinymce/tinymce-jquery@2/dist/tinymce-jquery.min.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div>
      <textarea id="tiny">&lt;p&gt;Welcome to the TinyMCE jQuery example!&lt;/p&gt;</textarea>
    </div>
    <script>
      $('textarea#tiny').tinymce({
        height: 500,
        menubar: false,
        plugins: [
          'advlist', 'autolink', 'lists', 'link', 'image', 'charmap', 'preview',
          'anchor', 'searchreplace', 'visualblocks', 'fullscreen',
          'insertdatetime', 'media', 'table', 'code', 'help', 'wordcount'
        ],
        toolbar: 'undo redo | blocks | bold italic backcolor | ' +
          'alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | ' +
          'bullist numlist outdent indent | removeformat | help'
      });
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

TinyMCE in a jQuery UI Dialog

To render TinyMCE instances inside jQuery UI dialogs, add the following code:

// Prevent jQuery UI dialog from blocking focusin
$(document).on('focusin', function(e) {
  if ($(e.target).closest(".tox-tinymce, .tox-tinymce-aux, .moxman-window, .tam-assetmanager-root").length) {
    e.stopImmediatePropagation();
  }
});

This code is required because jQuery blocks all focusin calls from elements outside the dialog. For a working example, try this TinyMCE fiddle.
