qword uses codemirror on client side, so API is similar. All you need is put minimal html, css, and js into your page.

Minimal html:

<div class="edit" data-name="js-edit"></div>
<script src="/qword/qword.js"></script>

Minimal css:

html, body, .edit {
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0;
}

Minimal js:

qword('[data-name="js-edit"]', (editor) => {
    editor.setValue('hello qword');
    console.log('qword is ready');
});

Client API

qword(selector, callback)

• selector: string
• callback: EditorCallback

Initialize new instance

editor.setValue(value)

• value: string

Set value to editor.

editor.getValue()

• returns: string

Types

interface Editor {
    setValue: (value: string) => void;
    getValue: () => string;
}

type EditorCallback = (editor: Editor) => void;
type qword = (selector: string, callback: EditorCallback) => void;
