Rich Text Editor

Schema Alias: Umbraco.RichText UI Alias: Umb.PropertyEditorUi.Tiptap

Returns: HTML

In Umbraco 15, the Rich Text Editor has a new default property editor UI that introduces Tiptap as an alternative.

You can continue to use the . This UI will be removed in Umbraco 16.

Current limitations

Resizing media images has not been implemented yet.

The Rich Text Editor (RTE) Tiptap property editor is highly configurable and based on . Depending on the configuration setup, it provides editors a lot of flexibility when working with content.

Customize everything from toolbar options to editor size to where pasted images are saved.

Use Blocks to define specific parts that can be added as part of the markup of the Rich Text Editor.

Extend the functionality of the Rich Text Editor with extensions.

MVC View Example

With Modelsbuilder

@{
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.RichText.ToString()))
    {
        <p>@Model.RichText</p>
    }
}

Without Modelsbuilder

@{
    if (Model.HasValue("richText")){
        <p>@(Model.Value("richText"))</p>
    }
}

Add values programmatically

The example below demonstrates how to add values programmatically using a Razor view. However, this is used for illustrative purposes only and is not the recommended method for production environments.

@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Services;
@inject IContentService Services;
@{
    // Get access to ContentService
    var contentService = Services;

    // Create a variable for the GUID of the page you want to update
    var guid = Guid.Parse("32e60db4-1283-4caa-9645-f2153f9888ef");

    // Get the page using the GUID you've defined
    var content = contentService.GetById(guid); // ID of your page

    // Create a variable for the desired value
    var htmlValue = new HtmlString("Add some text <strong>here</strong>");

    // Set the value of the property with alias 'richText'.
    content.SetValue("richText", htmlValue);

    // Save the change
    contentService.Save(content);
}

Although the use of a GUID is preferable, you can also use the numeric ID to get the page:

@{
    // Get the page using it's id
    var content = contentService.GetById(1234);
}

If Modelsbuilder is enabled you can get the alias of the desired property without using a magic string.

@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.PublishedCache;
@inject IPublishedSnapshotAccessor _publishedSnapshotAccessor;
@{
    // Set the value of the property with alias 'richText'
        content.SetValue(Home.GetModelPropertyType(_publishedSnapshotAccessor, x => x.RichText).Alias, "Add some text <strong>here</strong>");
}

Add values programmatically

See the example below to see how a value can be added or changed programmatically. To update a value of a property editor you need the .

@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Services;
@inject IContentService Services;
@{
    // Get access to ContentService
    var contentService = Services;

    // Create a variable for the GUID of the page you want to update
    var guid = Guid.Parse("32e60db4-1283-4caa-9645-f2153f9888ef");

    // Get the page using the GUID you've defined
    var content = contentService.GetById(guid); // ID of your page

    // Create a variable for the desired value
    var htmlValue = new HtmlString("Add some text <strong>here</strong>");

    // Set the value of the property with alias 'richText'.
    content.SetValue("richText", htmlValue);

    // Save the change
    contentService.Save(content);
}

Although the use of a GUID is preferable, you can also use the numeric ID to get the page:

@{
    // Get the page using it's id
    var content = contentService.GetById(1234);
}

If Modelsbuilder is enabled you can get the alias of the desired property without using a magic string.
