Overview

Summernote 0.9.1 is a WYSIWYG editor built on jQuery. It provides toolbar editing, links, images, video, tables, code view, and HTML APIs, with styling integrations for Bootstrap 3, 4, and 5 so rich-text editing can be added to existing forms.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Key features

Turn a div into a WYSIWYG editor with toolbar editing

The README shows loading jQuery and Summernote assets and calling .summernote() on the target element.

Sources: [1]

Choose Bootstrap 3, 4, or 5 integrations

The README advertises compatibility with Bootstrap 3, 4, and 5, and the source tree contains separate style and renderer integrations for those versions.

Sources: [1][3]

Read editor contents as HTML through the API

The .summernote('code') API returns the underlying editor HTML for integration with application storage and processing.

Sources: [1]

Best fit

Fits existing jQuery or Bootstrap forms that need rich-text input

It is useful for administration and CMS interfaces that need to turn selected form areas into rich-text editors without introducing a standalone editor application.

Sources: [1]

Before adoption

Code-view input requires server-side sanitization

The README warns that code view can accept script content and that HTML should be filtered or sanitized on the server to prevent arbitrary JavaScript injection into clients.

Sources: [1]

Version 0.9.1 declares Node >=17 for tooling

Package metadata defines Node >=17.0.0 as its engine, which matters when building or working with the package toolchain.

Supplemental curator note

Summernote is built on jQuery. Its code view can accept script-containing HTML, so follow the README warning and sanitize HTML on the server before storage or delivery. Do not treat the client-side editor as an XSS boundary.

Try it in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Install Summernote 0.9.1 with the README jQuery and Bootstrap versions

    Create an isolated npm project following the Bootstrap 5 example used by the reviewed README.

    demo=$(mktemp -d "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/summernote.XXXXXX") && cd "$demo" && npm init -y >/dev/null && npm install --save-exact summernote@0.9.1 jquery@3.6.0 bootstrap@5.0.2
  2. 2

    Verify the Summernote package version

    Require the installed Summernote package to match the reviewed release.

    test "$(node -e "console.log(require('./node_modules/summernote/package.json').version)")" = '0.9.1'
  3. 3

    Check the Bootstrap 5 distributions

    Verify the Bootstrap 5 JavaScript and CSS distributions without starting a browser.

    test -f node_modules/summernote/dist/summernote-bs5.js && test -f node_modules/summernote/dist/summernote-bs5.css
