DocumentCompare

Api-class iconclass

DocumentCompare provides a set of tools that allows you to process editor document data by custom external logic, evaluate the differences between original and processed data, and apply them as granular changes or tracked suggestions.

Contrary to editor.setData(), this does not replace the whole editor data. Instead, atomic changes are evaluated and a small set of changes is applied to the document. This is especially useful when the editor also uses Track Changes, Revision History, and Real-Time Collaboration features.

Use process(), to run the whole pipeline in one call - it takes document snapshot, processes the data, and applies granular changes:

await documentCompare.process( async snapshot => callMyService( snapshot.content ) );

// Or, to apply changes as suggestions:
await documentCompare.process( async snapshot => callMyService( snapshot.content ), { asSuggestions: true } );
Copy code

Some integrations need to process the data in separate steps (e.g. backend processing, or when changes are not applied immediately to the content). In this case, you can capture a snapshot first and apply the result later:

const snapshot = documentCompare.makeSnapshot();
const processed = await callMyService( snapshot.content );

// ...

const patch = documentCompare.diffSnapshot( snapshot, processed, { asSuggestions: true } );
documentCompare.applyPatch( patch );
Copy code

Properties

  • Chevron-right icon

    editor : Editor
    readonlyinherited

    The editor instance.

    Note that most editors implement the ui property. However, editors with an external UI (i.e. Bootstrap-based) or a headless editor may not have this property or throw an error when accessing it.

    Because of above, to make plugins more universal, it is recommended to split features into:

    • The "editing" part that uses the Editor class without ui property.
    • The "UI" part that uses the Editor class and accesses ui property.
  • Chevron-right icon

    isEnabled : boolean
    readonlyinherited Eye iconobservable

    Flag indicating whether a plugin is enabled or disabled. A disabled plugin will not transform text.

    Plugin can be simply disabled like that:

    // Disable the plugin so that no toolbars are visible.
    editor.plugins.get( 'TextTransformation' ).isEnabled = false;
    
    Copy code

    You can also use forceDisabled method.

    Parameters

    editor : Editor
  • Chevron-right icon

    afterInit() → void

    Returns

    void
  • Chevron-right icon

    applyPatch( patch ) → void

    Applies a patch to the current state of the document.

    As a result, all changes described by the patch are reflected in the document. Note, that this converges with all changes that happened on the document after the snapshot was made, including both local and remote edits (if real-time collaboration is enabled).

    Note, that the patch can be only applied to the same document as the snapshot, and only during the same editing session. Otherwise, documentcompare-apply-session-mismatch error is thrown.

    The patch is first validated against a copy of the document before anything is committed. In case if any errors or conflict resolution problems surface during this dry-run, documentcompare-invalid-patch error is thrown, and the editor data is left intact.

    The changes can be applied directly to the content or as tracked suggestions (requires Track changes plugin). See also diffSnapshot.

    Parameters

    patch : DocumentComparePatch

    The patch to apply, as produced by diffSnapshot.

    bind( bindProperty1, bindProperty2 ) → ObservableDualBindChain<K1, DocumentCompare[ K1 ], K2, DocumentCompare[ K2 ]>
    inherited

    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' );
    
    Copy code

    or even shorter:

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

    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' );
    
    Copy code

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

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

    which corresponds to:

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

    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 );
    
    Copy code

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

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

    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 );
    
    Copy code

    Type parameters

    K1
    K2

    Parameters

    bindProperty1 : K1

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

    bindProperty2 : K2

    Returns

    ObservableDualBindChain<K1, DocumentCompare[ K1 ], K2, DocumentCompare[ K2 ]>

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

    clearForceDisabled( id ) → void
    inherited

    Clears forced disable previously set through forceDisabled. See forceDisabled.

    Parameters

    id : string

    Unique identifier, equal to the one passed in forceDisabled call.

    Returns

    void
  • Chevron-right icon

    decorate( methodName ) → void
    inherited

    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.
    
    Copy code

    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'
    
    Copy code

    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'
    
    Copy code

    Parameters

    methodName : 'off' | 'set' | 'bind' | 'unbind' | 'decorate' | 'stopListening' | 'on' | 'once' | 'listenTo' | 'fire' | 'delegate' | 'stopDelegating' | 'destroy' | 'init' | 'editor' | 'afterInit' | 'isEnabled' | 'forceDisabled' | 'clearForceDisabled' | 'process' | 'makeSnapshot' | 'diffSnapshot' | 'applyPatch'

    Name of the method to decorate.

    Returns

    void

    delegate( events ) → EmitterMixinDelegateChain
    inherited

    Delegates selected events to another Emitter. For instance:

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

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

    emitterA.fire( 'eventX', data );
    
    Copy code

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

    emitterA.fire( 'eventY', data );
    
    Copy code

    Parameters

    events : Array<string>

    Event names that will be delegated to another emitter.

    Returns

    EmitterMixinDelegateChain
  • Chevron-right icon

    destroy() → void
    inherited

    Destroys the plugin.

    Note: This method is optional. A plugin instance does not need to have it defined.

    Returns

    void
  • Chevron-right icon

    diffSnapshot( snapshot, data, options ) → DocumentComparePatch

    Diffs the snapshot against processed data, returning a document patch - a set of granular differences between the two states.

    Use options to set whether the patch should be calculated and applied as tracked changes or as direct changes to the document.

    You can apply the patch using applyPatch.

    Parameters

    snapshot : DocumentCompareSnapshot

    The captured before-state to diff against.

    data : string | Record<string, string>

    The processed data. For multi-root editor, pass an object keyed by root name.

    options : DocumentCompareDiffOptions

    How the comparison is computed.

    Defaults to {}

    Returns

    DocumentComparePatch

    The patch bringing the document from the snapshot to the processed state.

  • Chevron-right icon

    fire( eventOrInfo, args ) → GetEventInfo<TEvent>[ 'return' ]
    inherited

    Fires an event, executing all callbacks registered for it.

    The first parameter passed to callbacks is an EventInfo object, followed by the optional args provided in the fire() method call.

    Type parameters

    TEvent : extends BaseEvent

    The type describing the event. See BaseEvent.

    Parameters

    eventOrInfo : GetNameOrEventInfo<TEvent>

    The name of the event or EventInfo object if event is delegated.

    args : TEvent[ 'args' ]

    Additional arguments to be passed to the callbacks.

    Returns

    GetEventInfo<TEvent>[ 'return' ]

    By default the method returns undefined. However, the return value can be changed by listeners through modification of the evt.return's property (the event info is the first param of every callback).

  • Chevron-right icon

    forceDisabled( id ) → void
    inherited

    Disables the plugin.

    Plugin may be disabled by multiple features or algorithms (at once). When disabling a plugin, unique id should be passed (e.g. feature name). The same identifier should be used when enabling back the plugin. The plugin becomes enabled only after all features enabled it back.

    Disabling and enabling a plugin:

    plugin.isEnabled; // -> true
    plugin.forceDisabled( 'MyFeature' );
    plugin.isEnabled; // -> false
    plugin.clearForceDisabled( 'MyFeature' );
    plugin.isEnabled; // -> true
    
    Copy code

    Plugin disabled by multiple features:

    plugin.forceDisabled( 'MyFeature' );
    plugin.forceDisabled( 'OtherFeature' );
    plugin.clearForceDisabled( 'MyFeature' );
    plugin.isEnabled; // -> false
    plugin.clearForceDisabled( 'OtherFeature' );
    plugin.isEnabled; // -> true
    
    Copy code

    Multiple disabling with the same identifier is redundant:

    plugin.forceDisabled( 'MyFeature' );
    plugin.forceDisabled( 'MyFeature' );
    plugin.clearForceDisabled( 'MyFeature' );
    plugin.isEnabled; // -> true
    
    Copy code

    Note: some plugins or algorithms may have more complex logic when it comes to enabling or disabling certain plugins, so the plugin might be still disabled after clearForceDisabled was used.

    Parameters

    id : string

    Unique identifier for disabling. Use the same id when enabling back the plugin.

    Returns

    void

    init() → void

    Returns

    void
  • Chevron-right icon

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

    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' );
    
    Copy code

    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.

    event : TEvent[ 'name' ]

    The name of the event.

    callback : GetCallback<TEvent>

    The function to be called on event.

    [ options ] : GetCallbackOptions<TEvent>

    Additional options.

    Returns

    void
  • Chevron-right icon

    Captures the current document state as a DocumentCompareSnapshot.

    The snapshot contains all data and metadata necessary to process the data and then be able to calculate differences between the original data and the processed data.

    Importantly, snapshot.content holds data for each root (excluding $graveyard) serialized to HTML. The data is stamped with data-id attributes, assigned to structural elements of the data. During processing, make sure that these data-ids are retained.

    See also DocumentCompareSnapshot.

    Parameters

    selection : Iterable<ModelRange>

    Ranges to capture with the snapshot as the user's selection. Must not intersect. By default no selection is captured.

    Defaults to []

    Returns

    DocumentCompareSnapshot

    The captured snapshot.

  • Chevron-right icon

    TEvent : extends BaseEvent

    The type descibing the event. See BaseEvent.

    Parameters

    event : TEvent[ 'name' ]

    The name of the event.

  • Chevron-right icon

    once( event, callback, [ options ] ) → void
    inherited

    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.

    Type parameters

    TEvent : extends BaseEvent

    The type descibing the event. See BaseEvent.

    Parameters

    event : TEvent[ 'name' ]

    The name of the event.

    Returns

    void
  • Chevron-right icon

    process( callback, options ) → Promise<boolean>

    Runs the whole processing pipeline in one call: snapshots the document, hands the snapshot to callback for external processing (e.g. an AI service), then diffs returned data and applies granular changes to the document.

    If diffing or applying fails, the underlying error is rethrown and can be further handled, unless options.overwriteOnError is set, in which case the current document is instead fully replaced with the processed data, the same way as if editor.setData() was used. In this case, changes that happened to the document after the snapshot was taken will be overwritten.

    Parameters

    callback : ( snapshot: DocumentCompareSnapshot ) => Promise<string | Record<string, string>>

    Receives the captured snapshot and returns the processed data keyed by root name.

    options : DocumentCompareProcessOptions

    Additional processing options.

    Defaults to {}

    Returns

    Promise<boolean>

    true when the process finished successfully and changes were applied granularly, false when the full-replacement fallback was used.

  • Chevron-right icon

    set( values ) → void
    inherited

    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'
    	} );
    }
    
    Copy code

    Parameters

    values : object & object

    An object with name=>value pairs.

    Returns

    void

    inherited

    Fired when a property value is going to be set but is not set yet (before the change event is fired).

    You can control the final value of the property by using the event's return property.

    observable.set( 'prop', 1 );
    
    observable.on<ObservableSetEvent<number>>( 'set:prop', ( evt, propertyName, newValue, oldValue ) => {
    	console.log( `Value is going to be changed from ${ oldValue } to ${ newValue }` );
    	console.log( `Current property value is ${ observable[ propertyName ] }` );
    
    	// Let's override the value.
    	evt.return = 3;
    } );
    
    observable.on<ObservableChangeEvent<number>>( 'change:prop', ( evt, propertyName, newValue, oldValue ) => {
    	console.log( `Value has changed from ${ oldValue } to ${ newValue }` );
    } );
    
    observable.prop = 2; // -> 'Value is going to be changed from 1 to 2'
                         // -> 'Current property value is 1'
                         // -> 'Value has changed from 1 to 3'
