Trix for Ruby on Rails

Want to include Basecamp's awesome Trix WYSIWYG editor in your Ruby on Rails application? You've come to the right place!

Compatible with Rails 5.0 and up.

Note: trix-rails 2.x is technically compatible with Rails 4.2 and up, but is no longer tested or maintained. Support for < Rails 5.0 will be dropped in trix-rails 3.x

Installation

Add trix-rails to your Gemfile:

gem 'trix-rails', require: 'trix'

Run bundle install and restart your server to make the files available through the pipeline.

Import Trix styles in app/assets/stylesheets/application.css:

*= require trix

Require Trix Javascript magic in app/assets/javascripts/application.js:

//= require trix

Usage

You can use trix-rails as a standalone tag, in a form builder, or with popular form libraries.

Standalone Tag

Create a simple <trix-editor> tag:

trix_editor_tag(name, value = nil, options = {})

For example:

<%= trix_editor_tag :post, :body, required: true %>

Form builder

Create a Trix editor for a form_for or form_with attribute:

trix_editor(method, options = {})

For example:

<%= post_form.trix_editor :body, required: true, autofocus: true %>

Formtastic and Simple Form

If you're using Formtastic or Simple Form, you can do this:

f.input :body, as: :trix_editor

Options

Any options provided will be passed along to the content_tag call that outputs the <trix-editor> tag.

For example:

<%= post_form.trix_editor :body, autofocus: true, data: { coffee: :delicious } %>

will render:

<trix-editor autofocus="true" data-coffee="delicious">
