Iframe Editable in Blazor RichTextEditor

17 Aug 20233 minutes to read

When the RichTextEditorIframeSettings option is set to RichTextEditorIframeSettings.enabled, the editor creates the iframe element as the content area on component initialization, which is used to display and edit the content. The editor only displays the body tag of an <iframe> document in the content area.

Basically, in an iframe mode, you have the entire document but only the editor content, and you can also use styles and scripts only for the particular editor.

CSHTML

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.RichTextEditor

<SfRichTextEditor>
    <RichTextEditorIFrameSettings Enable="true" />
    <p>The Rich Text Editor component is WYSIWYG ('what you see is what you get') editor that provides the best user experience to create and update the content. Users can format their content using standard toolbar commands.</p>
</SfRichTextEditor>

IFrame attributes

You can add an additional attribute to the body tag of an <iframe> element by using the RichTextEditorIframeSettings.Attributes property. This property contains name or value pairs in string format. It is used to override the default appearance of the content area.

CSHTML

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.RichTextEditor

<SfRichTextEditor>
    <RichTextEditorIFrameSettings Enable="true" Attributes="@IframeAttributes" />
    <p>The Rich Text Editor component is WYSIWYG ('what you see is what you get') editor that provides the best user experience to create and update the content. Users can format their content using standard toolbar commands.</p>
</SfRichTextEditor>

@code {
    private Dictionary<string, object> IframeAttributes = new Dictionary<string, object>() {
        { "style", "background: lightgray;" }
    };
}

Adding external CSS/Script file

The editor offers to add an external CSS file to style the <iframe> element. Using the RichTextEditorIframeSettings.Resources property, you can easily change the appearance of the editor’s content by using an external CSS file.

Similarly, add the external script file to the <iframe> element using the RichTextEditorIframeSettings.Resources property, and it will provide the additional functionalities to the Rich Text Editor.

CSHTML

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.RichTextEditor

<SfRichTextEditor>
    <RichTextEditorIFrameSettings Enable="true" Resources="@Resources" />
    <p>Rich Text Editor allows to insert images from online source as well as local computer where you want to insert the image in your content.</p>
    <p><b>Get started Quick Toolbar to click on the image</b></p>
    <p>It is possible to add custom style on the selected image inside the Rich Text Editor through quick toolbar.</p>
    <img alt='Logo' style='width: 300px; height: 300px; transform: rotate(0deg);' src='https://blazor.syncfusion.com/demos/images/RichTextEditor/RTEImage-Feather.png' />
</SfRichTextEditor>

@code {
    private ResourcesModel Resources { get; set; } = new ResourcesModel()
    {
        Styles = new string[] { "/styles.css" },
        Scripts = new string[] { "/script.js" }
    };
}
