A Classic Modernized
Summernote has been one of the most popular open-source WYSIWYG editors for the web for years. Its simplicity and deep integration with Bootstrap have made it the first choice for many developers. However, the web world keeps turning, and with Bootstrap 5, many standards have changed.
This is exactly where Summernote Next comes in. As a fork of the well-known Summernote project , it's not just a simple update, but a consistent evolution to make the editor fit for modern web projects.
Highlights of Summernote Next
Full Bootstrap 5 Support
Summernote Next has been optimized from the ground up for Bootstrap 5. This means: jQuery is no longer required and seamless visual integration into the modern framework.
Modern Icons based on SVG
While an icon font is still currently in use, it is already generated entirely from SVG sources. This not only ensures a much sharper display on high-DPI screens but is also a consistent step away from classic, rigid icon fonts towards more flexibility. Additionally, integrating custom icons is much easier this way.
Flexible Module System
The heart of Summernote Next is its redesigned module system. It allows developers to extend the editor exactly to their needs or remove features without having to touch the core of the editor.
Comprehensive API
Whether it's inserting content, controlling font styles, or managing selections – the new API provides a clean interface for almost every task.
Features at a Glance
- Air Mode: Minimalist editing with a floating toolbar.
- Bootswatch Compatibility: The editor automatically inherits styling from popular Bootswatch themes.
- Localization: Full support for various languages, including an optimized German translation.
- Codeview: An integrated code editor for those who like to work directly in HTML.
Outlook
Summernote Next is more than just maintenance. It is the foundation for a new generation of editors that are modern, fast, and flexible.
