Class

EditableElement (engine/view)

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

class

Editable element which can be a root or nested editable area in the editor.

Editable is automatically read-only when its Document is read-only.

The constructor of this class shouldn't be used directly. To create new EditableElement use the downcastWriter#createEditableElement() method.

Filtering

Properties

  • childCount : Number

    readonly inherited

    Number of element's children.

  • document : Document

    readonly inherited

    The document instance to which this node belongs.

  • index : Number | null

    readonly inherited

    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.

  • isEmpty : Boolean

    readonly inherited

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

  • isFocused : Boolean

    readonly observable

    Whether the editable is focused.

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

  • isReadOnly : Boolean

    observable

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

  • name : String

    readonly inherited

    Name of the element.

  • nextSibling : Node | null

    readonly inherited

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

  • parent : Element | DocumentFragment | null

    readonly inherited

    Parent element. Null by default. Set by _insertChild.

  • previousSibling : Node | null

    readonly inherited

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

  • root : Node | DocumentFragment

    readonly inherited

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

  • _attrs : Map

    protected inherited

    Map of attributes, where attributes names are keys and attributes values are values.

  • _children : Array.<Node>

    protected inherited

    Array of child nodes.

  • _classes : Set

    protected inherited

    Set of classes associated with element instance.

  • _customProperties : Map

    protected inherited

    Map of custom properties. Custom properties can be added to element instance, will be cloned but not rendered into DOM.

  • _styles : StylesMap

    protected inherited

    Normalized styles.

Methods

  • constructor()

    protected

    Creates an editable element.

  • bind( bindProperties ) → Object

    mixed

    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 );

    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 );

    Parameters

    bindProperties : String

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

    Returns

    Object

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

  • decorate( methodName )

    mixed

    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 {
        constructor() {
            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 : String

    Name of the method to decorate.

  • delegate( events ) → EmitterMixinDelegateChain

    mixed

    Delegates selected events to another Emitter. For instance:

    emitterA.delegate( 'eventX' ).to( emitterB );
    emitterA.delegate( 'eventX', 'eventY' ).to( emitterC );

    then eventX is delegated (fired by) emitterB and emitterC along with data:

    emitterA.fire( 'eventX', data );

    and eventY is delegated (fired by) emitterC along with data:

    emitterA.fire( 'eventY', data );

    Parameters

    events : String

    Event names that will be delegated to another emitter.

    Returns

    EmitterMixinDelegateChain

    The function to be called on event.

    [ options ] : Object

    Additional options.

    Defaults to {}

  • once( event, callback, [ options ] = { [options.priority] } )

    mixed

    Registers a callback function to be executed on the next time the event is fired only. This is similar to calling on followed by off in the callback.

  • set( name, [ value ] )

    mixed

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

    It accepts also 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 have 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.

    Parameters

    name : String | Object

    The property's name or object with name=>value pairs.

    [ value ] : *

    The property's value (if name was passed in the first parameter).
