<script src='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/froala-editor/2.7.6/js/third_party/spell_checker.min.js'></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/froala-editor/2.7.6/css/third_party/spell_checker.min.css" type="text/css" />

3. Creating Froala Editor Instance with Default SCAYT Options

    pluginsEnabled: ['spellChecker'],
    toolbarButtons: ['bold', 'italic', 'spellChecker', '|', 'undo', 'redo'],
    toolbarButtonsMD: null,
    toolbarButtonsSM: null,
    toolbarButtonsXS: null,
    scaytOptions: {

        enableGrayt: true;
        localization:'en',
        extraModules: 'ui',
        spellcheckLang: 'en_US',
        contextMenuSections: 'suggest|moresuggest',
