You can specify custom buttons as objects with the following parameters:

• id - (optional) a custom control ID (cannot overlap with existing control ID)

• css - (optional) a css class name assigned to the control (default supported classes: wx-primary, wx-secondary)
• handler - (optional) a callback function that executes when the button is clicked

new richtext.Richtext("#root", {
    toolbar: [
        // buttons (strings represent buttons only)
        "bold",
        "italic",
        // predefined buttons (user cannot define any other options for these (no labels, tooltips, options, etc.), so only ({ type: "button", id: string })
        {
            type: "button",
            id: "fullscreen",
        },
        // user must specify the correct type if they want to use a predefined control (e.g. richselect/colorpicker)
        // non-matching types will be ignored (not added to the toolbar)
        {
            type: "richselect", // type: "button" - incorrect, will be ignored
            id: "mode",
        },
        // custom buttons (supported options are below)
        // user can only define custom buttons (no richselect/colorpicker support atm)
        {
            type: "button",
            id: "some",
            label: "Some",
            handler: () => {/* custom logic */}
        },
        {
            type: "button",
            id: "other",
            icon: "wxo-help",
            label: "Other",
            tooltip: "Some tooltip",

new richtext.Richtext("#root", {
    toolbar: [
        ...richtext.defaultToolbarButtons,
        {
            type: "button",
            id: "btn1", // button id (cannot overlap with existing button ids if you want to apply custom logic)
            icon: "wxo-help", // button icon (combines with label)
            css: "rounded", // css class name assigned to the control (default supported classes: wx-primary, wx-secondary)
            label: "Custom button", // button label (combines with icon)
            tooltip: "Some tooltip", // tooltip displayed on hover (if not specified, uses the value from "label")
        }
    ]
    // other configuration properties
});

Example

// initialize RichText
new richtext.Richtext("#root", {
    toolbar: [
        "bold",
        "italic",
        "separator",
        // custom buttons (all supported options are used below)
        // user can only define custom buttons (no richselect/colorpicker support at the moment)
        {
            type: "button",
            id: "btn1", // button id (cannot overlap with existing button ids if you want to apply custom logic)
            icon: "wxo-help", // button icon (combines with label)
            css: "rounded", // css class name assigned to the control (default supported classes: wx-primary, wx-secondary)
            label: "Custom button", // button label (combines with icon)
            tooltip: "Some tooltip", // tooltip displayed on hover (if not specified, uses the value from "label")
            handler: () => ..., // custom logic attached to this button
        }
    ]
    // other configuration properties
