A Ruby gem that integrates the CKEditor 4.x WYSIWYG rich text editor into Rails applications. It provides generators for file upload models backed by Active Record or Mongoid, an HTML5 file browser/uploader, and hooks for formtastic, simple_form, CanCanCan, and Pundit.

Use cases

• add a wysiwyg rich text editor to a rails app
• integrate ckeditor with rails asset pipeline
• upload images and files from a rich text editor in rails
• use ckeditor with active_storage or carrierwave
• add rich text editing to simple_form or formtastic forms
• restrict file uploads with cancancan or pundit

When to choose

• you have a Rails 4-7 app and want CKEditor 4 with file upload support out of the box
• you need ActiveRecord or Mongoid-backed upload models generated for you
• you want editor integration with CanCanCan/Pundit authorization

When to avoid

• you need CKEditor 5 - this gem only supports CKEditor 4, which has reached end-of-life
• you are not using Ruby on Rails
• you need a framework-agnostic JavaScript editor integration
