The plugin can be used under the admin area as soon as it is active.
The plugin has a settings page that will be available after you activate the plugin. Under the settings page there will be an input for the licence key and a dropdown with all the available plugins that can be activated/deactivated.
To use the Froala Editor on the front-end part of the website, the plugin must be initialized from themes folder.
The activate function accepts 2 parameters but the editor can be init using just one. The second param can be an array or object of options that can be passed to the editor.
For a complete list of options have a look over our options list.

// froala_before_public_init acts before the editor gets initialized and

* To use a public hook, it needs to be registered right after the editor get's instantiated. The propper way
* would be to store it in a variable so you can have access to the debug log.
*
* This example includes a custom css file and load's it acordingly, because it's used after public init the css file
* will be at the very bottom of your head tag.
* To understand better, the params are in this way:

* 2' nd $custom_css_path.'/test.css' => path to the file.
* 3' rd 'css' => script type.

// FroalaEditorCustomJSFolderPath is a constant defined on plugin activation will return
// the path to the Custom JS folder e.g: /froala/custom/js
// froala_new_plugin, custom hook that integrates the new plugin and registers the new script

}
After calling the hook inside the admin pannel under Froala WYSIWYG settings there will be a new plugin in the list
called "test".Add the above code to froala.php file to add plugin inside admin panel.After adding a new plugin, it needs to be activated from the admin panel. For an easier understanding the plugin will come with a dummy file placed inside "froala/custom/js/". You can delete this file at any time it's just for demo purposes.
For checking out how plugin works without adding it to admin panel,use the following code inside functions file in your theme:
$custom_plugin_path = plugins_url(FroalaEditorCustomJSFolderPath);
$new_plugin = apply_filters('froala_before_public_init', $custom_plugin_path . '/test.js','js','file', 'test');
if( is_wp_error( $new_plugin ) ) {
echo $new_plugin->get_error_message();
}This will help if you copy/paste the above code inside your functions file.
