Deprecated package pointing to a newer version, and the Froala editor requires a paid commercial license.
This project is a bridge that lets developers add the Froala rich text editor into web applications built with Ember.js. Froala is a visual editor, the kind where users can format text, insert images, and write content without touching any HTML code. This package wraps that editor so it works naturally within Ember apps, with buttons, toolbars, and file uploads that can be customized. The editor is dropped into an Ember page as a component, and developers configure it through settings like whether the toolbar appears inline, what placeholder text shows, and which buttons are available. It supports custom buttons, for example, you could build a dropdown menu or a button that clears all formatting. When someone types or changes content, the component fires events that the app can respond to, such as saving the text or logging what changed. Plugins for things like tables, video embedding, and font sizing can be included through a build configuration file. This would be used by teams building Ember applications that need a text editing experience, think a blog platform, a content management system, or an email composer. A startup building a publishing tool might use it so writers can draft articles with formatting without needing to know HTML. One important caveat: this package is deprecated. The maintainers point to a newer version that should be used instead. Additionally, while the wrapper code itself is open source under MIT, the Froala editor it connects to requires a paid license for commercial use, with separate pricing tiers. There is also a tradeoff worth noting, the initial value passed to the editor only sets the starting text, and won't update if the underlying data changes later. Developers need to explicitly listen for content changes to capture what users actually type.
