The Acrolinx Sidebar

The Acrolinx Sidebar is designed to show up beside the window where you edit your content. You use it for checking, reviewing, and correcting your content. To get an impression what the Sidebar looks like in existing integrations, have a look at Sidebar Quick Start.

Prerequisites

Please contact Acrolinx SDK support for consulting and getting your integration certified. This sample works with a test license on an internal Acrolinx URL. This license is only meant for demonstration and developing purposes. Once you finished your integration, you'll have to get a license for your integration from Acrolinx.

Acrolinx offers different other SDKs, and examples for developing integrations.

Before you start developing your own integration, you might benefit from looking into:

• Build With Acrolinx,
• the Guidance for the Development of Acrolinx Integrations,
• the Acrolinx SDKs, and
• the Acrolinx Demo Projects.

Getting Started

Installation

To install the SDK to your npm-based Acrolinx Integration project call:

npm install @acrolinx/sidebar-sdk

SDK Features

The SDK provides adapters for:

• contentEditable div-elements,
• input text elements,
• CodeMirror,
• CKEditor,
• Xeditor,
• TinyMCE, and a
• MultiEditorAdapter that can be used to combine different adapters as one document.

If you need to support other editors, sometimes the ContentEditableAdapter works without any changes. If not, implement the AdapterInterface.

Deprecation

⚠️ If you’re dependent on Sidebar v14: Please note it's getting deprecated.

You don't have to worry on changes in integration. There are only two things that you need to change.

1. You need to update to the latest SDK version.
2. [Optional] If you’re using the initialization minimumSidebarVersion=14.x.x config then remove it.
