RootEditableElement (engine/view)

@ckeditor/ckeditor5-engine/src/view/rooteditableelement

class
See source

Class representing a single root in the data view. A root can be either editable or read-only, but in both cases it is called "an editable". Roots can contain other editable elements making them "nested editables".

Filtering

Properties

  • readonly inherited

    childCount : number

    See source

    Number of element's children.

  • readonly inherited

    document : Document

    See source

    The document instance to which this node belongs.

  • readonly inherited

    index : null | number

    See source

    Index of the node in the parent element or null if the node has no parent.

    Accessing this property throws an error if this node's parent element does not contain it. This means that view tree got broken.

  • readonly inherited

    isEmpty : boolean

    See source

    Is true if there are no nodes inside this element, false otherwise.

  • inherited observable

    isFocused : boolean

    See source

    Whether the editable is focused.

    This property updates when document.isFocused or view selection is changed.

  • inherited observable

    isReadOnly : boolean

    See source

    Whether the editable is in read-write or read-only mode.

  • readonly inherited

    name : string

    See source

    Name of the element.

  • readonly inherited

    nextSibling : null | Node

    See source

    Node's next sibling, or null if it is the last child.

  • readonly inherited

    parent : null | Element | DocumentFragment

    See source

    Parent element. Null by default. Set by _insertChild.

  • inherited observable

    placeholder : string | undefined

    See source

    Placeholder of editable element.

    editor.editing.view.document.getRoot( 'main' ).placeholder = 'New placeholder';

  • readonly inherited

    previousSibling : null | Node

    See source

    Node's previous sibling, or null if it is the first child.

  • readonly inherited

    root : Element | DocumentFragment

    See source

    Top-most ancestor of the node. If the node has no parent it is the root itself.

  • rootName : string

    See source

    Name of this root inside Document that is an owner of this root. If no other name is set, main name is used.

    Parameters

    rootName : string

  • internal

    _name

    See source

    Overrides old element name and sets new one. This is needed because view roots are created before they are attached to the DOM. The name of the root element is temporary at this stage. It has to be changed when the view root element is attached to the DOM element.

    Parameters

    name : string

    The new name of element.

  • internal readonly inherited

    _unsafeAttributesToRender : Array<string>

    See source

    A list of attribute names that should be rendered in the editing pipeline even though filtering mechanisms implemented in the DomConverter (for instance, shouldRenderAttribute) would filter them out.

    These attributes can be specified as an option when the element is created by the DowncastWriter. To check whether an unsafe an attribute should be permitted, use the shouldRenderUnsafeAttribute method.

Methods

  • constructor( document, name )

    See source

    Creates root editable element.

    Parameters

    document : Document

    The document instance to which this element belongs.

    name : string

    Node name.

    bind( bindProperty1, bindProperty2 ) → DualBindChain<K1, RootEditableElement[ K1 ], K2, RootEditableElement[ K2 ]>

    See source

    Binds observable properties to other objects implementing the Observable interface.

    Read more in the dedicated guide covering the topic of property bindings with some additional examples.

    Consider two objects: a button and an associated command (both Observable).

    A simple property binding could be as follows:

    button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command, 'isEnabled' );

    or even shorter:

    button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command );

    which works in the following way:

    • button.isEnabled instantly equals command.isEnabled,
    • whenever command.isEnabled changes, button.isEnabled will immediately reflect its value.

    Note: To release the binding, use unbind.

    You can also "rename" the property in the binding by specifying the new name in the to() chain:

    button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command, 'isWorking' );

    It is possible to bind more than one property at a time to shorten the code:

    button.bind( 'isEnabled', 'value' ).to( command );

    which corresponds to:

    button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command );
button.bind( 'value' ).to( command );

    The binding can include more than one observable, combining multiple data sources in a custom callback:

    button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command, 'isEnabled', ui, 'isVisible',
	( isCommandEnabled, isUIVisible ) => isCommandEnabled && isUIVisible );

    Using a custom callback allows processing the value before passing it to the target property:

    button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command, 'value', value => value === 'heading1' );

    It is also possible to bind to the same property in an array of observables. To bind a button to multiple commands (also Observables) so that each and every one of them must be enabled for the button to become enabled, use the following code:

    button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).toMany( [ commandA, commandB, commandC ], 'isEnabled',
	( isAEnabled, isBEnabled, isCEnabled ) => isAEnabled && isBEnabled && isCEnabled );

    Type parameters

    K1
    K2

    Parameters

    bindProperty1 : K1

    Observable property that will be bound to other observable(s).

    bindProperty2 : K2

    Observable property that will be bound to other observable(s).

    Returns

    DualBindChain<K1, RootEditableElement[ K1 ], K2, RootEditableElement[ K2 ]>

    The bind chain with the to() and toMany() methods.

    decorate( methodName ) → void

    See source

    Turns the given methods of this object into event-based ones. This means that the new method will fire an event (named after the method) and the original action will be plugged as a listener to that event.

    Read more in the dedicated guide covering the topic of decorating methods with some additional examples.

    Decorating the method does not change its behavior (it only adds an event), but it allows to modify it later on by listening to the method's event.

    For example, to cancel the method execution the event can be stopped:

    class Foo extends ObservableMixin() {
	constructor() {
		super();
		this.decorate( 'method' );
	}

	method() {
		console.log( 'called!' );
	}
}

const foo = new Foo();
foo.on( 'method', ( evt ) => {
	evt.stop();
}, { priority: 'high' } );

foo.method(); // Nothing is logged.

    Note: The high priority listener has been used to execute this particular callback before the one which calls the original method (which uses the "normal" priority).

    It is also possible to change the returned value:

    foo.on( 'method', ( evt ) => {
	evt.return = 'Foo!';
} );

foo.method(); // -> 'Foo'

    Finally, it is possible to access and modify the arguments the method is called with:

    method( a, b ) {
	console.log( `${ a }, ${ b }`  );
}

// ...

foo.on( 'method', ( evt, args ) => {
	args[ 0 ] = 3;

	console.log( args[ 1 ] ); // -> 2
}, { priority: 'high' } );

foo.method( 1, 2 ); // -> '3, 2'

    Parameters

    methodName : 'index' | 'name' | 'off' | 'on' | 'once' | 'listenTo' | 'stopListening' | 'fire' | 'delegate' | 'stopDelegating' | 'is' | 'set' | 'bind' | 'unbind' | 'decorate' | 'document' | 'parent' | 'nextSibling' | 'previousSibling' | 'getAttribute' | 'hasAttribute' | 'destroy' | 'placeholder' | 'root' | 'isReadOnly' | 'isFocused' | '_unsafeAttributesToRender' | 'childCount' | 'isEmpty' | 'getChild' | 'getChildIndex' | 'getChildren' | 'getAttributeKeys' | 'getAttributes' | 'isSimilar' | 'hasClass' | 'getClassNames' | 'getStyle' | 'getNormalizedStyle' | 'getStyleNames' | 'hasStyle' | 'findAncestor' | 'getCustomProperty' | 'getCustomProperties' | 'getIdentity' | 'shouldRenderUnsafeAttribute' | '_clone' | '_appendChild' | '_insertChild' | '_removeChildren' | '_setAttribute' | '_removeAttribute' | '_addClass' | '_removeClass' | '_setStyle' | '_removeStyle' | '_setCustomProperty' | '_removeCustomProperty' | 'getFillerOffset' | 'isAttached' | 'getPath' | 'getAncestors' | 'getCommonAncestor' | 'isBefore' | 'isAfter' | '_remove' | '_fireChange' | 'toJSON' | 'rootName' | '_name'

    See source

    Checks whether this object is of type Node or its subclass.

    This method is useful when processing view objects that are of unknown type. For example, a function may return a DocumentFragment or a Node that can be either a text node or an element. This method can be used to check what kind of object is returned.

    someObject.is( 'element' ); // -> true if this is an element
someObject.is( 'node' ); // -> true if this is a node (a text node or an element)
someObject.is( 'documentFragment' ); // -> true if this is a document fragment

    Since this method is also available on a range of model objects, you can prefix the type of the object with model: or view: to check, for example, if this is the model's or view's element:

    viewElement.is( 'view:element' ); // -> true
viewElement.is( 'model:element' ); // -> false

    By using this method it is also possible to check a name of an element:

    imgElement.is( 'element', 'img' ); // -> true
imgElement.is( 'view:element', 'img' ); // -> same as above, but more precise

    Parameters

    type : 'node' | 'view:node'

    Returns

    this is Text | Node | Element | AttributeElement | ContainerElement | EditableElement | EmptyElement | RawElement | RootEditableElement | UIElement

    listenTo( emitter, event, callback, [ options ] ) → void

    See source

    Registers a callback function to be executed when an event is fired in a specific (emitter) object.

    Events can be grouped in namespaces using :. When namespaced event is fired, it additionally fires all callbacks for that namespace.

    // myEmitter.on( ... ) is a shorthand for myEmitter.listenTo( myEmitter, ... ).
myEmitter.on( 'myGroup', genericCallback );
myEmitter.on( 'myGroup:myEvent', specificCallback );

// genericCallback is fired.
myEmitter.fire( 'myGroup' );
// both genericCallback and specificCallback are fired.
myEmitter.fire( 'myGroup:myEvent' );
// genericCallback is fired even though there are no callbacks for "foo".
myEmitter.fire( 'myGroup:foo' );

    An event callback can stop the event and set the return value of the fire method.

    Type parameters

    TEvent : extends BaseEvent

    The type describing the event. See BaseEvent.

    Parameters

    emitter : Emitter

    The object that fires the event.

    Returns

    void

  • inherited

    on( event, callback, [ options ] ) → void

    See source

    Registers a callback function to be executed when an event is fired.

    Shorthand for this.listenTo( this, event, callback, options ) (it makes the emitter listen on itself).

    Type parameters

    TEvent : extends BaseEvent

    The type descibing the event. See BaseEvent.

    Parameters

    event : TEvent[ 'name' ]

    The name of the event.

    Type parameters

    TEvent : extends BaseEvent

    The type descibing the event. See BaseEvent.

    Parameters

    event : TEvent[ 'name' ]

    The name of the event.

    set( values ) → void

    See source

    Creates and sets the value of an observable properties of this object. Such a property becomes a part of the state and is observable.

    It accepts a single object literal containing key/value pairs with properties to be set.

    This method throws the observable-set-cannot-override error if the observable instance already has a property with the given property name. This prevents from mistakenly overriding existing properties and methods, but means that foo.set( 'bar', 1 ) may be slightly slower than foo.bar = 1.

    In TypeScript, those properties should be declared in class using declare keyword. In example:

    public declare myProp1: number;
public declare myProp2: string;

constructor() {
	this.set( {
		'myProp1: 2,
		'myProp2: 'foo'
	} );
}

    Parameters

    values : object

    An object with name=>value pairs.

    Returns

    void
