}If you use the default (local) upload provider you should specify the
urlproperty in theconfig/server.jsin order to get the full URL on uploaded files eg:
module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
url: env("PUBLIC_URL", "http://localhost:1337"),
host: env('HOST', '0.0.0.0'),
port: env.int('PORT', 1337),
app: {
keys: env.array('APP_KEYS'),
},
});In order to display a content from an external source in your
adminyou should configure your middlewares.js check the docs about this

}- Then rebuild your app:
npm run buildor
yarn buildThis section covers the way how to configure your environment if you want to contribute to this package.
In order to start making changes in the plugin you first need to install Strapi infrastructure on top of the plugin repository.
npx create-strapi-app --quickstart strapi
cd strapi
By default Strapi does not create plugins folder so we need to create it.
mkdir -p src/plugins
Now we should clone this repository so we can work on it.
git clone git@github.com:nshenderov/strapi-plugin-ckeditor.git src/plugins/strapi-plugin-ckeditor
Let's add an entry inside ./package.json file so, we won't need to use yarn inside plugin itself.
"workspaces": ["./src/plugins/strapi-plugin-ckeditor"]
Install dependencies:
yarn install
Now we need to register plugin so strapi can use it. In order to do that we need
to create (if not already created) ./config/plugins.js file and add entry to it.
module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
ckeditor5: {
enabled: true,
resolve: "./src/plugins/strapi-plugin-ckeditor"
},
});
Rebuild the project and start the server:
yarn build
yarn develop
Strapi v4.13.0+
Node >=18.0.0 <=20.x.x
