How to Disable Editing in Summernotes?

Question

I am using summernotes component and what I want to do is I want to stop the user from adding characters if s(he) exceeds 2000 Chars but I couldn't figure out how to stop typing event.

What I am doing is like the following:

 $(".note-editable").each(function(){
           $(this).on("keyup", function(){
                var cc = $(this).text().length;
                var arr = $(this).next().attr("class").split('_');
                var q = "q"+arr[0];
                var maxChar = arr[2];
                var textarea = $('*[name^="'+q+'"]');
                var diffChar = parseInt(maxChar - cc);
               
                if(diffChar >= 0)
                {
                    $(this).next().text(diffChar + " Remaining out of " + maxChar);
                }
                else
                {
                    $(this).next().text("0 Remaining out of " + maxChar);
                    
                    //$(textarea).prop('disabled', true);
                    $(this).text($(this).text().slice(0,diffChar));
                }
           });
        });

Any Idea how to do that, I don't want to disable the cursor or destroy the summernote .. I want to let the user feel that (s)he can still edit but it won't type anything if the text exceeds 2000 chars.

Thanks!!

Look at this link from their official document.

Basically, what you need to do is:

You can disable editor by API.

$('#summernote').summernote('disable');

If you want to enable editor again, call API with enable.

$('#summernote').summernote('enable');

Now, what you can do is, use these API calls in your own code logic/algorithms to get the desired effect.

I know its an old question, but hope this helps.
