Hello friends, In this post i am going to tell you about lightning:inputRichText component, a rich text editor that we used to add, edit, format, and delete rich text inside lightning component but when you try to make this element required using required="true" attribute this won't work. So here i am providing solution let's get started.

Make lightning:inputRichText required in lightning component

In salesforce mostly every lightning element has the required attribute to make them required but in the case of lightning:inputRichText element it doesn't work so use the following approach to get it resolved.

RichTextArea.cmp 

 <aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes" access="global" >
    <aura:attribute name="validity" type="Boolean" default="true"/>
    <aura:attribute name="myMessage" type="String" default=''/> 
    <lightning:layout>
        <lightning:layoutItem padding="around-small" size="12">
            <lightning:inputRichText aura:id="txtMsg" valid="{!v.validity}" value="{!v.myMessage}" placeholder="Type something interesting" required="true" onblur="{!c.handleblur}"/>
            <br/>
            <center>
                <lightning:button variant="Brand" label="Click Me" onclick="{!c.handleClick}"/> 
            </center>
        </lightning:layoutItem>
    </lightning:layout>
 </aura:component>
RichTextAreaController.js
 ({
    handleblur: function(component, event, helper) {
        if(!component.get("v.myMessage")){            
            component.set("v.validity", false);            
        }
        else{
            component.set("v.validity", true);           
        }  
    },
    
    handleClick : function(component, event, helper) {
        if(!component.get("v.myMessage")){            
            component.set("v.validity", false);           
        }
        else{
            component.set("v.validity", true);            
        }    
    }
 })
