Currently I use $('div#edit').froalaEditor('html.get') to retrieve the html data inside editor, but it sucks when it comes to process / store the text data in my backend because of all the p tags and &npsb; symbols in raw html string.
To be honest they do not even pass to the database without losing parts of the data. Is there a way or an api to directly extract the text data as a string with proper symbols like "\n\t" from the froala editor?
If you dont like p tags you should use the enter option:
$('div#froala-editor-br').froalaEditor({
enter: $.FroalaEditor.ENTER_BR
});
If you really would like to remove all tags you could use jQuery text method
jQuery($('div#edit').froalaEditor('html.get')).text()
Or you could use HTML options
var html = $('div#edit').froalaEditor('html.get') ;
var div = document.createElement("div");
div.innerHTML = html;
alert(div.innerText);
Honestly, the easiest way to do this is
var body = $('#body').froalaEditor('html.get');
alert($(body).text());
