Using Composer for Custom CKEditor Instance

1. Fork the repo ckeditor/ckeditor-releases

2. Within your composer.json add to the repositories like below, replacing {username} with the user you used to fork the ckeditor/ckeditor-releases repo.

   "repositories": [
       {
           "type": "vcs",
           "url": "https://github.com/{username}/ckeditor-releases"
       },
       
       ...
   ],
   
   "require": {
       "ckeditor/ckeditor": "dev-full/4.10.x-mycustomckeditorbranch",
      
       ...
   }
   

3. Add to your build a way to symbolic link the vendor/ckeditor/ckeditor folder to public/js/ckeditor

   The below is an example of what can be added to webpack.mix.js

    const fs = require('fs');
    
    ...
   
    fs.symlink(
        path.resolve('vendor/ckeditor/ckeditor'),
        path.resolve('public/js/ckeditor'),
        function (err) { err != null && err.errno != -17 ? console.log(err) : console.log("Done."); }
    );
   

4. Replace ckeditor_url under the published config config/nova/ckeditor-field.php to be

   'ckeditor_url' => config('app.url').'/js/ckeditor/ckeditor.js',
