Add WYSIWYG Editor to Block Form in Magento 2

Question

How do you add a WYSIWYG editor to a custom form which you create through a block? I have found this article for doing this through UI components but need this for a block.

I've tried the following:

$fieldset->addField(
            'content',
            'editor',
            [
                'name' => 'content',
                'label' => __('Body'),
                'title' => __('Body'),
                'rows' => '5',
                'cols' => '30',
                'wysiwyg' => true,
                'required' => true
            ]
        );

Answer 1

Discovered I was missing the Config setting:

/**
 * @var \Magento\Cms\Model\Wysiwyg\Config
 */
protected $_wysiwygConfig;

/**
 * @param \Magento\Backend\Block\Template\Context $context
 * @param \Magento\Framework\Registry $registry
 * @param \Magento\Framework\Data\FormFactory $formFactory
 * @param \Magento\Cms\Model\Wysiwyg\Config $wysiwygConfig
 * @param \Magento\Store\Model\System\Store $systemStore
 * @param array $data
 */
public function __construct(
    \Magento\Backend\Block\Template\Context $context,
    \Magento\Cms\Model\Wysiwyg\Config $wysiwygConfig,
    array $data = []
) {
    $this->_wysiwygConfig = $wysiwygConfig;
    parent::__construct($context, $data);
}

Meaning I could do the following:

$fieldset->addField(
    'content',
    'editor',
    [
        'name' => 'content',
        'label' => __('Body'),
        'title' => __('Body'),
        'rows' => '5',
        'cols' => '30',
        'wysiwyg' => true,
        'config' => $this->_wysiwygConfig->getConfig(),
        'required' => true
    ]
);

Type must be set to editor and wysiwyg set to true for this to work.

                    </item>
                </item>
            </argument>
        </field>

@Avesh Naik you can use below code to add the wysiwyg field in UI Form, it will add field with the form width, you will not face the fullwidth issue with field.

    <field name="front_message2" sortOrder="10" formElement="wysiwyg" template="ui/form/field">
        <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
            <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="source" xsi:type="string">lrpricerules</item>
                <item name="wysiwygConfigData" xsi:type="array">
                    <item name="is_pagebuilder_enabled" xsi:type="boolean">false</item>
                    <item name="toggle_button" xsi:type="boolean">true</item>
                    <item name="height" xsi:type="string">150px</item>
                    <item name="add_variables" xsi:type="boolean">true</item>
                    <item name="add_widgets" xsi:type="boolean">true</item>
                    <item name="add_images" xsi:type="boolean">true</item>
                    <item name="add_directives" xsi:type="boolean">true</item>
                </item>
            </item>
        </argument>
        <settings>
            <label translate="true">Front end message2</label>
            <dataScope>front_message2</dataScope>
        </settings>
        <formElements>
            <wysiwyg>
                <settings>
                    <rows>5</rows>
                    <wysiwyg>true</wysiwyg>
                </settings>
            </wysiwyg>
        </formElements>
    </field>
