This guide assists with adding TinyMCE from the Tiny Cloud to pages or views in Laravel. The example Laravel project created in this procedure is based on the Laravel project documented in the Laravel Docs, under [Installation Via Composer](https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/installation#installation-via-composer). The guide will create two blades: one for the JavaScript and another for the editor placeholder, to reflect how TinyMCE should be used in production environments. ## Requirements This procedure assumes the following prerequisites have been installed: - [PHP](https://www.php.net/) - [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) ## Procedure 1. On a command line (or command prompt), create a new Laravel project named `my-example-app` by running the following command: ```sh composer create-project laravel/laravel my-example-app ``` 2. Change into the root directory of the Laravel application, such as: ```sh cd my-example-app ``` 3. Create a new reusable [component (`blade.php`)](https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/blade#components) for the TinyMCE configuration, such as: ```sh php artisan make:component Head/tinymceConfig ``` This will create the blade `resources/views/components/head/tinymce-config.blade.php`. 4. Open the newly created `.blade.php` file in a text editor and replace the contents with: - The TinyMCE source script. - A TinyMCE configuration. For example: *File:* `resources/views/components/head/tinymce-config.blade.php` ```html ``` 5. Replace `no-api-key` in the TinyMCE source script with your Tiny Cloud API Key. To register for a Tiny Cloud API key, visit the [Tiny Account sign-up page](/auth/signup/). To retrieve the Tiny Cloud API key for an existing Tiny Account, login and visit the [Tiny Account Dashboard](/my-account/). 6. Create a second blade containing a placeholder HTML element for TinyMCE, such as: ```sh php artisan make:component Forms/tinymceEditor ``` This will create the blade `resources/views/components/forms/tinymce-editor.blade.php`. 7. Open the newly created `.blade.php` file in a text editor and replace the contents with a placeholder, matching the CSS selector provided to the `selector` option in the editor configuration. For example: *File:* `resources/views/components/forms/tinymce-editor.blade.php` ```html ``` 8. Add the blade components on the pages or views where TinyMCE is needed. The configuration blade (`Head/tinymceConfig` in this example) can be added to the `` or at the end of the `` on the target page or view. The placeholder blade (`Forms/tinymceEditor`) should be added where TinyMCE is required on the page. For example: *File:* `resources/views/welcome.blade.php` ```html TinyMCE in Laravel

``` 9. Start the Laravel development server to verify that TinyMCE loads on the page or view, such as running the following command and opening the page on the localhost. ```sh php artisan serve ``` ## Next Steps For information on: - Getting and setting the editor content, see: [`getContent`](../apis/tinymce.editor/#getContent) and [`setContent`](../apis/tinymce.editor/#setContent). - Customizing TinyMCE, see: [Basic Setup](../basic-setup/). - The three editor modes, see: - [TinyMCE classic editing mode](../use-tinymce-classic/). - [TinyMCE inline editing mode](../use-tinymce-inline/). - [TinyMCE distraction-free editing mode](../use-tinymce-distraction-free/). - Adding TinyMCE plugins, see: [Work with plugins to extend TinyMCE](../work-with-plugins/). - Localizing the TinyMCE editor, see: [Localize TinyMCE](../localize-your-language/). - For information on the CSS required to render some TinyMCE elements outside of the editor, see: [CSS for rendering TinyMCE content outside the editor](../editor-content-css/).
