Embed does not render in CKEditor 5

Created on 6 February 2023, almost 2 years ago

While evaluating the module I noticed that when using the Drupal core media embed functionality with CKEditor 5 that the YouTube videos do not render in CKEditor.

After saving these render fine on the actual webpage.

    Just a followup. The embed is not displaying in CKEditor 5 appears to be because the actual module's lite_youtube_embedlibrary isn't loading when the CKEditor 5 media embed is added. The lite-youtube element is inserted, but without the JS/CSS it isn't obviously displaying anything. When I manually loaded the library on all pages in a quick custom module, the embed element does render.

    Another issue is however that CKEditor 5 inserts the lite-youtube element in a figure tag that has display: table. That causes the sizing of the thumbnail to be tiny.

    well, that's not really a CKE5 specific problem. This is a general problem with embedded media: see ✨ CKEditor embedded media previews do not render with attached assets Active and #3085273: [Meta] Preview embedded media / entities in ckeditor β†’ . However I am not against including a workaround inside this module, as long as it's a quite elegant one

    However I am not against including a workaround inside this module, as long as it's a quite elegant one.

    For the library loading, one option would be create a simple CKEditor 5 plugin that loads the library when the media embed plugin is enabled. I think that can be achieved with a simple `lite_youtube_embed.ckeditor5.yml` file. Something like:

    media_lite_youtube_embed:
      provider: media
      ckeditor5:
        plugins:
          - drupalMedia.DrupalMedia
      drupal:
        label: lite_youtube_embed
        library: lite_youtube_embed/lite_youtube_embed
        elements:
          - <lite-youtube>
          - <lite-youtube videoid playlabel params>
        conditions:
          filter: media_embed
    

    The second issue with the figure tag with

    display: table

    might be more difficult...

    would be great, if you could verify your proposed fix.. unfortunately I cannot use CKE5 (and therefore also D10) atm, as we use linkit module in all our projects, and it is lacking CKE5 support unfortunately. hope this will get fixed soon

    Loading the library via a CKEditor5 yaml config file does appear to work. It doesn't solve the figure and display: table issue however.

    The code here worked for me:
    https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3072317#comment-14926967 ✨ CKEditor embedded media previews do not render with attached assets Active

    function mymodule_support_preprocess_page(&$variables) {
      if (\Drupal::service('router.admin_context')->isAdminRoute()) {
        $variables['#attached']['library'][] = 'mymodule_support/ckeditor5_fixes';
      }
    }
    
    document.body.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
      // Prevent opening colorbox images in the current tab while in the editor.
      if (e.target.parentElement.classList.contains('colorbox')) {
        e.preventDefault();
      }
    });
