Initialize Summernote with the bricks module.

<script>

            toolbar: [
                ['insert', ['bricks']],

            ],
            // bricks options
            
            bricks: {
                gallery: {
                    modal_body_file: "php/gallery_dynamic_content.html"
                },
                thumbnails: {
                    modal_body_file: "php/thumbnails_dynamic_content.html"
                },
            }
            
        });
    });

</script>

See more details about Summernote installation and options.

Options

The Summernote-bricks options can be passed with the Summernote editor options with key "bricks". or you can put them inside the config file src/config/default.js

    thumbnails: {
        modal_body_file: "php/thumbnails_dynamic_content.html"
    },
    

To retrieve the configuration values use the helper function :

                var configs = _helpers.getConfig();
var current_lang = configs.lang; // en

            

Creating custom bricks

Run $ npm run watch to set watchify to auto-generate the bundle file /dist/summernote-extensions.dist.js.

To Create a modalable brick (opens a modal on click) run $ gulp brick --type modalable --name [brick name].

To Create a simple brick (inserts the content immediately to the editor without opening a modal) run $ gulp brick --type simple --name [brick name] or just $ gulp brick --name [brick name].

Simple brick example

$ gulp brick --name header

The code above will create the following files :

• src/classes/Header.class.js
• dist/bricks_assets/header/html.html
• dist/bricks_assets/header/style.html

Next :

1. Require the Header class you just created in the file src/utility/autoload.js

2. Then go to the file src/summernote-extensions.js and add the same class to the plugins array : new Header()

   
   var plugins = [
       new H2(),
       new Panel(),
       new Menu(),
       new Gallery(),
       new Thumbnails(),
       new ContactForm(),
       new Header()
   ];
   
               

3. Add the brick localization text in the file src/config/langs.js

   
   en: {
   
       header:{
           tooltip: "Add a header",
           label: "Header",
       },
       
       panel:{
       tooltip: "Add a new panel with text",
       label: "Panel",
   },
   
               

To edit the inserted HTML go to dist/bricks_assets/header/html.html file.

To edit the style of the inserted HTML go to dist/bricks_assets/header/style.html file.

Modalable brick example

$ gulp brick --type modalable --name something

The code above will create the following files :

• src/classes/Something.class.js
• dist/bricks_assets/something/modal.html
• dist/bricks_assets/something/modal_body.html
• dist/bricks_assets/something/modal_style.html
• dist/bricks_assets/something/html.html
• dist/bricks_assets/something/style.html

Next :

1. Require the Something class you just created in the file src/utility/autoload.js

2. Then go to the file src/summernote-extensions.js and add the same class to the plugins array : new Something()

   
   var plugins = [
       new H2(),
       new Panel(),
       new Menu(),
       new Gallery(),
       new Thumbnails(),
       new ContactForm(),
       new Something()
   ];
   
               

3. Add the brick localization text in the file src/config/langs.js

   
   en: {
   
       something:{
           tooltip: "Add something",
           label: "Something",
       },
       
       panel:{
       tooltip: "Add a new panel with text",
       label: "Panel",
   },
   
               

To edit the inserted HTML go to dist/bricks_assets/something/html.html file.

To edit the style of the inserted HTML go to dist/bricks_assets/something/style.html file.

To edit the modal go to dist/bricks_assets/something/modal.html file.

To edit the modal body HTML go to dist/bricks_assets/something/modal_body.html file.

To edit the modal body style go to dist/bricks_assets/something/modal_style.html file.

Localization

After setting the lang option in the initialization step you can customize the shown text for every brick in the file src/config/langs.js .

You may retrieve lines from language file using the _helpers.lang() helper function. The lang() method accepts the key of the translation string as its first argument with the dot notation. For example, let's retrieve the menu tooltip translation string from the src/config/langs.js file

                _helpers.lang('menu.tooltip');

            

For example if the chosen language is en the lang() function expects the langs file to have something like this :

// src/config/langs.js
en: {

    menu:{
        tooltip: "Add a new menu",
    },
    
    ...

            

if it doesn't find the requested translation it returns the key prefixed with the language. Example: en.menu.tooltip
