Import to Html file

The Rich Text Editor allows you to load an external HTML file in the editor’s content, which contains the text with styling and images. Read the HTML file from your path using the StremReader class and assign it to the editor with the @bind-Value property.

@using System.IO; 
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.RichTextEditor 
 
<SfRichTextEditor @bind-Value="@HtmlString"> 
    <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> 
</SfRichTextEditor> 
 
@code { 
    private string HtmlString { get; set; } 
    private string PathToHTMLFile = Path.GetFullPath(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + @"\wwwroot\HtmlFiles\HtmlTest.html"); 
    protected override void OnInitialized() 
    { 
        using (FileStream fs = File.Open(PathToHTMLFile, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite)) 
        { 
            using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(fs)) 
            {
                // Importing values from HTML file.
                HtmlString = sr.ReadToEnd(); 
            } 
        } 
    } 
}

Import to RTF file

Import the RTF file into the editor by using the file uploader component and get the RTF file content from the uploader success event. Then, import the RTF values into the editor.

@using Import_RTF_File.Data;
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.RichTextEditor;
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Inputs;
@inject ExportService exportService

<SfRichTextEditor ID="defalt_RTE" @ref="RteObj" @bind-Value="@rteValue" EnableHtmlSanitizer="false">
    <RichTextEditorImageSettings SaveUrl="api/SampleData/Save" Path="../images/"></RichTextEditorImageSettings>
</SfRichTextEditor>
<SfUploader ID="UploadFiles">
    <UploaderAsyncSettings SaveUrl="api/SampleData/Import" RemoveUrl="https://aspnetmvc.syncfusion.com/services/api/uploadbox/Remove"></UploaderAsyncSettings>
    <UploaderEvents Success="@onSuccess"></UploaderEvents>
</SfUploader>

@code {
    SfRichTextEditor RteObj;
    private string rteValue { get; set; } = "<div>Example of Importing Text File into the Editor</div>";
    public void onSuccess(SuccessEventArgs args)
    {
        var headers = args.Response.Headers.ToString();
        var header = headers.Split("rtevalue: ");
        header = header[1].Split("\r");
        this.rteValue = header[0];
    }
}

Import text file to editor

The Rich Text Editor allows you to load an external text file into the editor. Read the text file from your path using the StremReader class and assign it to the editor with the @bind-Value property.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.RichTextEditor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons
@using System.IO
@using System.Text

<SfButton OnClick="@importStream">Import Text Data</SfButton>
<SfRichTextEditor ID="defalt_RTE" @ref="RteObj" @bind-Value="@rteValue" EnableHtmlSanitizer="false">
</SfRichTextEditor>

@code {
    SfRichTextEditor RteObj;
    public string text { get; set; }
    private string rteValue { get; set; } = "<p>Click the button to import text file</p>";
    private string HtmlString { get; set; }
    private string PathToHTMLFile = Path.GetFullPath(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + @"\wwwroot\RTESample.txt");
    public void importStream()
    {
        using (FileStream fs = File.Open(PathToHTMLFile, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite))
        {
            using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(fs))
            {
                HtmlString = sr.ReadToEnd();
                this.rteValue = HtmlString;
            }
        }
    }
}

Export to RTF file

Use the Syncfusion.DocIO libraries to export the RTE content to the RTF format.

Click Export, and use Syncfusion.DocIO libraries to convert the RTE content to an RTF file. Use the following code to export the RTF file.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.RichTextEditor;
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Inputs;
@inject NavigationManager navigationManager;
@inject HttpClient Http
@using System.Net.Http;
@using System.Threading.Tasks;

<Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons.SfButton OnClick="OnExport">Export</Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons.SfButton>
    <SfRichTextEditor ID="customtool" @ref="RteObj" @bind-Value="@rteValue" EnableHtmlSanitizer="false">
        <RichTextEditorImageSettings SaveUrl="api/SampleData/Save" Path="../images/"></RichTextEditorImageSettings>
    </SfRichTextEditor>

@code {
    SfRichTextEditor RteObj;
    [Inject]
    IJSRuntime jsRuntime { get; set; }
    private string rteValue { get; set; } = "<p>Click the export button to download the RTE content in RTF format</p>";
    public async Task OnExport()
    {
        HttpClientHandler clientHandler = new HttpClientHandler();
        clientHandler.ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback = (sender, cert, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => { return true; };
        HttpClient client = new HttpClient(clientHandler);
        var content = new StringContent(rteValue);
        content.Headers.Add("value", rteValue);
        await client.PostAsync(navigationManager.Uri + "api/SampleData/ExportToRtf", content);
        await SampleInterop.SaveAs<object>(jsRuntime, "Sample.rtf");
    }
}

Export to HTML file

Use Syncfusion.DocIO libraries to export the RTE content to HTML format.

While clicking on the export button, it makes a call to the Export to HTML service.

<button @onclick="ExportFile">Export</button>
<SfRichTextEditor ID="defalt_RTE" @ref="RteObj" @bind-Value="@rteValue">
    <ChildContent>
        <RichTextEditorToolbarSettings Items="@Tools" Type="ToolbarType.Expand"></RichTextEditorToolbarSettings>
    </ChildContent>
</SfRichTextEditor>

@code {
    [Inject]
    IJSRuntime jsRuntime { get; set; }
    SfRichTextEditor RteObj;
    private string rteValue { get; set; } = "<p>Starting Text</p>";
    public object[] Tools = new object[]{
        "Bold", "Italic", "Underline", "SubScript", "SuperScript", "StrikeThrough",
        "FontName", "FontSize", "FontColor", "BackgroundColor",
        "LowerCase", "UpperCase", "|",
        "Formats", "Alignments", "OrderedList", "UnorderedList",
        "Outdent", "Indent", "|", "CreateTable",
        "CreateLink", "Image", "|", "ClearFormat", "Print",
        "SourceCode", "FullScreen", "|", "Undo", "Redo"
    };
    public void ExportFile()
    {
        exportService.ExportToHtml(rteValue);
    }
}

Here, the Syncfusion.DocIO values are converted into document type and then coverted to HTML format.

public void ExportToHtml(string value)
{
    WordDocument document = GetDocument(value);
    //Saves the Word document to MemoryStream
    MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
    document.Save(stream, FormatType.Html);
    stream.Position = 0;
    FileStream outputStream = new FileStream("filename.html", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.ReadWrite);
    document.Save(outputStream, FormatType.Html);
    document.Close();
    outputStream.Flush();
    outputStream.Dispose();
    // You can upload this stream to the azure
}
public WordDocument GetDocument(string htmlText)
{
    WordDocument document = null;
    MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
    StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(stream, System.Text.Encoding.Default);
    htmlText = htmlText.Replace("\"", "'");
    XmlConversion XmlText = new XmlConversion(htmlText);
    XhtmlConversion XhtmlText = new XhtmlConversion(XmlText);
    writer.Write(XhtmlText.ToString());
    writer.Flush();
    stream.Position = 0;
    document = new WordDocument(stream, FormatType.Html, XHTMLValidationType.None);
    return document;
}
