## Editor

> A markdown editor you really want.

**NOTICE**: [@NextStepWebs](https://github.com/NextStepWebs/) has created [an improved markdown editor based on this project](https://github.com/NextStepWebs/simplemde-markdown-editor/)

## Overview

Editor is not a WYSIWYG editor, it is a plain text markdown editor. Thanks for the great project [codemirror](http://codemirror.net/), without which editor can never be created.

## Basic Usage

The easiest way to use Editor is to simply load the script and stylesheet:

```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://lab.lepture.com/editor/editor.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://lab.lepture.com/editor/editor.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://lab.lepture.com/editor/marked.js"></script>
```

You can also use [jsdelivr CDN](http://www.jsdelivr.com/#!editor):

```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/editor/0.1.0/editor.css">
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/editor/0.1.0/editor.js"></script>
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/editor/0.1.0/marked.js"></script>
```

Having done this, an editor instance can be created:

```js
var editor = new Editor();
editor.render();
```

The editor will take the position of the first `<textarea>` element. 

### Get the content

To get back the edited content you use:

```js
editor.codemirror.getValue();
```

## Component

If you are using component, you can install it with:

    $ component install lepture/editor


## Seajs

If you are using seajs, you can install it with:

```
$ spm install lepture/editor
```

## Development

You can build the dist files with `grunt`. After this repo is cloned, dig into the repo, and install everything you need:

```
$ npm install
$ npm install grunt-cli -g
```

Now you can create the dist files:

```
$ grunt transport
```

You can get everything you need in the `build` directory.


## Configuration

The `Editor` Class accepts an option as the parameter. The supported options are:

* element (DOM)

  The element of the textarea. The default value is the first `<textarea>`.

* tools (array or false)

  If set false, the editor will have no toolbar.

* status (array or false)

  If set false, the editor will have no statusbar.

* actions (object)

* shortcuts (object)


Example:
```JavaScript
new Editor({
  element: document.getElementById('editor'),
  toolbar: []
})
```
