Usage

Displaying the Editor

To display the editor you simply need to call

Editor::view()

You may also call it passing existing content

Editor::view($text);

Example with a Form

{{ Form::open(['url' => 'handle', 'method' => 'POST']) }}
    {{ Editor::view() }}
    {{ Form::submit() }}
{{ Form::close() }}

Retrieving Content

To get the content from the input use Editor::input() to get the editor's input name and use it with Input as such

$input = Input::get(Editor::input());

Then pass it to Editor::content($input) for the raw content or Editor::json($input) for the JSON representation of the output.

Raw Content

$content = Editor::content($input);
// $content is an instance of Vinelab\Editor\Content

The text used in the editor for this example is the following:

[Oxford Town](http://dylan.town)
<div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/FacebookDevelopers/posts/10151471074398553" data-width="500"></div>

<div class='fb-post' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/FacebookDevelopers/posts/212625821854109664' data-width='500'></div>
