I used CKEditor 5 CDN. First this my code for the textarea it works

Answer 1

I use another way to work with ckEditors.

First thing is - I don't want to initialize ckEditor in every page where I use Editors.

Second thing is - Sometimes I need to access to ckEditors by name.

So, there is my point of view:

Add to your Layout:

Use it in your view:

A little css:

.ck-classic {
    display: none;
}

.ck-classic-min {
    display: none;
}

Add tiny JS to Layout (better way to add as separated JS file):

const ckEditorClassicOptions = {
    toolbar: ['heading', '|', 'bold', 'italic', 'bulletedList', 'numberedList', 'blockQuote', 'link', 'insertTable', 'undo', 'redo'],
    heading: {
        options: [
            { model: 'paragraph', title: 'Параграф' },
            //{ model: 'heading1', view: 'h1', title: 'Heading 1' },
            { model: 'heading2', view: 'h2', title: 'Заголовок 2' },
            { model: 'heading3', view: 'h3', title: 'Заголовок 3' },
            { model: 'heading4', view: 'h4', title: 'Заголовок 4' },
            { model: 'heading5', view: 'h5', title: 'Заголовок 5' }
        ]
    }
};

const ckEditorClassicOptionsMin = {
    toolbar: ['bold', 'italic']
};

var allCkEditors = [];
$(document).ready(function() {
    // Initialize All CKEditors
    allCkEditors = [];

    var allHtmlElements = document.querySelectorAll('.ck-classic');
    for (var i = 0; i < allHtmlElements.length; ++i) {
        ClassicEditor
            .create(allHtmlElements[i], ckEditorClassicOptions)
            .then(editor => {
                allCkEditors.push(editor);
            })
            .catch(error => {
                console.error(error);
            });
    }

    allHtmlElements = document.querySelectorAll('.ck-classic-min');
    for (var j = 0; j < allHtmlElements.length; ++j) {
        ClassicEditor
            .create(allHtmlElements[j], ckEditorClassicOptionsMin)
            .then(editor => {
                allCkEditors.push(editor);
            })
            .catch(error => {
                console.error(error);
            });
    }

});

function ckEditor(name) {
    for (var i = 0; i < allCkEditors.length; i++) {
        if (allCkEditors[i].sourceElement.id === name) return allCkEditors[i];
    }

    return null;
}

And after that get Data from where you need:

ckEditor("tbxQuestion").getData()
