About JSON RTE Plugins

Note: Experience Extensions use the legacy approach with extensions. We recommend using the RTE UI Location for the Contentstack App Framework to extend the functionality of your apps.

The JSON Rich Text Editor Plugins lets you add/create custom plugins to extend the functionality of your JSON Rich Text Editor as per your needs. You can use third-party applications to interact with your JSON Rich Text Editor content.

With prebuilt plugins such as Highlight, Info Panel, and Word Count, you can enhance the JSON Rich Text Editor (JSON RTE) field. Instead of using separate custom fields to interact with the content within the JSON RTE, create and add plugins to your JSON RTE for real-time adaptiveness.

Note: JSON RTE plugins are exclusive to the stack they are installed in and cannot be shared among different stacks.

The following are the two ways to add JSON RTE plugins to your content types:

• Create new JSON RTE plugins: Create your custom plugins by writing custom code and using it in your content types.
• Use prebuilt JSON RTE plugins: Use the prebuilt JSON RTE plugins by modifying the code to suit your requirement. Contentstack provides certain basic prebuilt plugins such as Highlight, Info Panel, and Word Count.

Note: You can add a maximum of 50 extensions (including custom fields, custom widgets, dashboard widgets, and JSON RTE plugins) in a stack.
