DOM Initializer

The withDomInitializer() method allows you to generate the editor DOM structure from an existing textarea. This is useful when you want to start from a plain <textarea> without writing the editor markup manually.

Example

import { ModuloEditor } from "@lakamark/modulo-editor";

ModuloEditor
  .create("#content")
  .fromTextarea("#content")
  .withDomInitializer(domInitializer)
  .build()
  .init();

HTML

<textarea id="content" name="content"></textarea>

The DOM initializer will transform this textarea into an editor structure.

Signature

withDomInitializer(domInitializer: EditorDomInitializer): ModuloEditorBuilder

Parameters

Name	Required	Type	Description
domInitializer	Yes	EditorDomInitializer	Object responsible for generating the editor DOM structure

Returns

Type	Description
ModuloEditorBuilder	The builder instance

Notes

• fromTextarea() is typically used together withwithDomInitializer()
• The initializer is responsible for creating the editor root and returning the resolved elements
• This approach is useful for progressive enhancement of existing forms
