ClipboardObserver (clipboard)

@ckeditor/ckeditor5-clipboard/src/clipboardobserver

class

Clipboard events observer.

Fires the following events:

Note that this observer is not available by default (it is not added by the engine). To make it available it needs to be added to Document by the View#addObserver() method. You can also load the Clipboard plugin which adds this observer automatically (because it uses it).

Properties

  • document : Document

    readonly inherited

    Reference to the Document object.

  • domEventType : String | Array.<String>

    readonly inherited

    Type of the DOM event the observer should listen on. Array of types can be defined if the obsever should listen to multiple DOM events.

    Overrides: DomEventObserver#domEventType

  • isEnabled : Boolean

    readonly inherited

    State of the observer. If it is disabled events will not be fired.

  • useCapture : Boolean

    inherited

    If set to true DOM events will be listened on the capturing phase. Default value is false.

  • view : View

    readonly inherited

    Instance of the view controller.

Methods

  • constructor( view )

    inherited

    Creates an instance of the observer.

    Parameters

    view : View
    Overrides: DomEventObserver#constructor

  • destroy()

    inherited

    Disables and destroys the observer, among others removes event listeners created by the observer.

  • disable()

    inherited

    Disables the observer. This method is called before rendering to prevent firing events during rendering.

  • enable()

    inherited

    Enables the observer. This method is called when the observer is registered to the View and after rendering (all observers are disabled before rendering).

    A typical use case for disabling observers is that mutation observers need to be disabled for the rendering. However, a child class may not need to be disabled, so it can implement an empty method.

  • fire( eventType, domEvent, [ additionalData ] )

    inherited

    Calls Document#fire() if observer is enabled.

    Parameters

    eventType : String

    The event type (name).

    domEvent : Event

    The DOM event.

    [ additionalData ] : Object

    The additional data which should extend the event data object.

  • observe( domElement, name )

    inherited

    Starts observing the given root element.

    Parameters

    domElement : HTMLElement
    name : String

    The name of the root element.

  • onDomEvent()

    inherited

    Callback which should be called when the DOM event occurred. Note that the callback will not be called if observer is not enabled.

    Overrides: DomEventObserver#onDomEvent
