📦 Installation
1. Install the Package
# Via pip (when published)
pip install django-eddytor
# Or install from source
git clone [Official github source]
cd django-eddytor
pip install -e .
2. Add to Django Settings
# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
# ... other apps
'django_eddytor',
]
3. Configure Static Files
# settings.py
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
# For production deployment only
STATIC_ROOT = BASE_DIR / 'staticfiles'

DEBUG = True, Django automatically serves static files. You don't need to runcollectstatic.
🚀 Quick Start
Minimal Example
Create a form with Eddytor in just a few lines:
# forms.py
from django import forms
from django_eddytor.widgets import EddytorWidget
class ArticleForm(forms.Form):
content = forms.CharField(
widget=EddytorWidget(
config={
"placeholder": {
"content": "Start writing or type / for commands..."
}
}
)
)
# views.py
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from .forms import ArticleForm
def create_article(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = ArticleForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
content = form.cleaned_data['content']
# Save your content here
return redirect('success')
else:
form = ArticleForm()
return render(request, 'article_form.html', {'form': form})
<!-- article_form.html -->
{% load static %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Create Article</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Create New Article</h1>
<form method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.content }}
<button type="submit">Save Article</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
That's it! You now have a fully functional Notion-style editor. 🎉
📚 Configuration Guide
All configuration is done through Python dictionaries - no JavaScript required!
Title & Subtitle
Add a document title with an optional subtitle:
widget = EddytorWidget(
config={
"title": {
"enabled": True,
"initialValue": "My Document",
"placeholder": "Enter title here...",
"editable": True,
"className": "document-title",
"subtitle": {
"enabled": True,
"text": "Last updated today",
"className": "text-gray-500",
"editable": False
}
}
}
)
Options:
| Property | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
enabled |
boolean | False |
Enable title field |
initialValue |
string | '' |
Pre-filled title text |
placeholder |
string | 'Untitled Document' |
Placeholder text |
editable |
boolean | True |
Allow editing |
className |
string | '' |
CSS class for styling |
subtitle.enabled |
boolean | False |
Show subtitle |
subtitle.text |
string | '' |
Subtitle content |
Theme Configuration
Automatic theme switching based on HTML attributes:
config = {
"themeConfig": {
"observeElement": "html", # Element to observe
"attribute": "class", # Attribute to watch
"darkValue": "dark", # Value indicating dark mode
"lightValue": "", # Value indicating light mode
"default": "light" # Default theme
}
}
Example with data attributes:
config = {
"themeConfig": {
"observeElement": "html",
"attribute": "data-theme",
"darkValue": "dark",
"lightValue": "light",
"default": "light"
}
}
Placeholder Text
Customize the empty editor placeholder:
config = {
"placeholder": {
"text": "Type / for commands or click + to open menu",
"className": "editor-placeholder",
"showForEmptyBlocks": True,
"showOnFocus": True
}
}
Form Integration
Generate a hidden textarea for form submission:
config = {
"textarea": {
"generate": True, # Auto-generate textarea
"name": "content" # Form field name
}
}
The widget automatically syncs the editor content with the textarea on form submission.
AI Rewrite
Enable AI-powered content enhancement:
config = {
"aiRewrite": {
"enabled": True,
"apiEndpoint": "/api/ai/rewrite/",
"apiMethod": "POST",
"headers": {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
"requestTransform": {
"tone": "professional",
"readingLevel": "grade-8",
"maxTokens": 500
},
"responseTransform": True # Use default response handler
}
}
Backend Implementation:
# views.py
from django.http import JsonResponse
from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt
import json
@csrf_exempt # Use proper authentication in production
def ai_rewrite(request):
if request.method != 'POST':
return JsonResponse({"error": "Method not allowed"}, status=405)
try:
data = json.loads(request.body)
content = data.get("text") or data.get("content")
tone = data.get("tone", "professional")
# Process with your AI service (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
rewritten = your_ai_service.rewrite(
content,
tone=tone,
reading_level=data.get("readingLevel")
)
return JsonResponse({"rewritten_text": rewritten})
except Exception as e:
return JsonResponse({"error": str(e)}, status=500)
Expected API Response:
{
"rewritten_text": "<p>Your rewritten content here...</p>"
}
Image Upload
Base64 Mode (Default - Good for Development):
config = {
"image": {
"upload": {
"mode": "base64" # Stores images as inline data
}
}
}
API Upload Mode (Recommended for Production):
config = {
"image": {
"upload": {
"mode": "api",
"endpoint": "/api/upload/image/",
"field": "file",
"method": "POST",
"headers": {
"X-CSRFToken": "{{ csrf_token }}"
},
"responseKey": "url" # Key in response containing image URL
}
}
}
Backend Implementation:
# views.py
from django.core.files.storage import default_storage
from django.http import JsonResponse
from django.views.decorators.http import require_POST
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
@login_required
@require_POST
def upload_image(request):
file = request.FILES.get('file')
if not file:
return JsonResponse({"error": "No file provided"}, status=400)
# Validate file type
allowed_types = ['image/jpeg', 'image/png', 'image/gif', 'image/webp']
if file.content_type not in allowed_types:
return JsonResponse({"error": "Invalid file type"}, status=400)
# Validate file size (5MB limit)
if file.size > 5 * 1024 * 1024:
return JsonResponse({"error": "File too large"}, status=400)
# Save file
filename = default_storage.save(f'images/{file.name}', file)
url = default_storage.url(filename)
return JsonResponse({"url": url})
URL Configuration:
# urls.py
from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('api/upload/image/', views.upload_image, name='upload_image'),
]
Video Upload
URL Only (Default):
config = {
"video": {
"upload": {
"mode": "url" # User enters video URL
}
}
}
API Upload:
config = {
"video": {
"upload": {
"mode": "api",
"endpoint": "/api/upload/video/",
"method": "POST",
"responseKey": "url"
}
}
}
Both URL and Upload:
config = {
"video": {
"upload": {
"mode": "both", # Allow both URL input and file upload
"endpoint": "/api/upload/video/",
"method": "POST",
"responseKey": "url"
}
}
}

Enable automatic table of contents generation:
HTML Structure:
<!-- your_template.html -->
<div id="editor-wrapper">
<div class="toc-block" style="height: 100%;">
<div style="display: none;">
<a class="toc-item" href="#intro" target="_self">Introduction</a>
<a class="toc-item" href="#guide" target="_self">User Guide</a>
<a class="toc-item" href="#api" target="_self">API Reference</a>
</div>
<form method="post" style="height: 100%;">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.content }}
<button type="submit">Save</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
Widget Configuration:
widget = EddytorWidget(
config={
"editorId": "editor-wrapper", # Must match parent container ID
"toc": {
"enable": True,
"toc_items": [
{"url": "#intro", "text": "Introduction"},
{"url": "#guide", "text": "User Guide"},
{"url": "#api", "text": "API Reference"}
]
