After installing the editor, add the feature to your plugin list and toolbar configuration:
import { ClassicEditor, TodoList } from 'ckeditor5';
ClassicEditor
.create( document.querySelector( '#editor' ), {
licenseKey: '<YOUR_LICENSE_KEY>', // Or 'GPL'.
plugins: [ TodoList, /* ... */ ],
toolbar: [ 'todoList', /* ... */ ],
list: {
// Configuration.
}
} )
.then( /* ... */ )
.catch( /* ... */ );

'todoList'
command. - The
'checkTodoList'
command. - The

UI button.
