ModelDocumentSelection

Api-class icon class

ModelDocumentSelection is a special selection which is used as the document's selection. There can be only one instance of ModelDocumentSelection per document.

Document selection can only be changed by using the ModelWriter instance inside the change() block, as it provides a secure way to modify model.

ModelDocumentSelection is automatically updated upon changes in the document to always contain valid ranges. Its attributes are inherited from the text unless set explicitly.

Differences between ModelSelection and ModelDocumentSelection are:

  • there is always a range in ModelDocumentSelection - even if no ranges were added there is a "default range" present in the selection,
  • ranges added to this selection updates automatically when the document changes,
  • attributes of ModelDocumentSelection are updated automatically according to selection ranges.

Since ModelDocumentSelection uses live ranges and is updated when document changes, it cannot be set on nodes that are inside document fragment. If you need to represent a selection in document fragment, use Selection class instead.

Properties

  • Chevron-right icon

    anchor : null | ModelPosition
    readonly

    Selection anchor. Anchor may be described as a position where the most recent part of the selection starts. Together with focus they define the direction of selection, which is important when expanding/shrinking selection. Anchor is always start or end position of the most recently added range.

    Is set to null if there are no ranges in selection.

  • Chevron-right icon

    focus : null | ModelPosition
    readonly

    Selection focus. Focus is a position where the selection ends.

    Is set to null if there are no ranges in selection.

  • Chevron-right icon

    hasOwnRange : boolean
    readonly

    Describes whether Documentselection has own range(s) set, or if it is defaulted to document's default range.

  • Chevron-right icon

    isBackward : boolean
    readonly

    Specifies whether the focus precedes anchor.

  • Chevron-right icon

    isCollapsed : boolean
    readonly

    Describes whether the selection is collapsed. Selection is collapsed when there is exactly one range which is collapsed.

  • Chevron-right icon

    isGravityOverridden : boolean
    readonly

    Describes whether the gravity is overridden (using overrideSelectionGravity) or not.

    Note that the gravity remains overridden as long as will not be restored the same number of times as it was overridden.

  • Chevron-right icon

    A collection of selection markers. Marker is a selection marker when selection range is inside the marker range.

    Note: Only markers from observed markers groups are collected.

  • Chevron-right icon

    rangeCount : number
    readonly

    Number of ranges in selection.

  • Chevron-right icon

    _ranges : Array<ModelRange>
    internalreadonly

    Used for the compatibility with the isEqual method.

  • Chevron-right icon

    _selection : LiveSelection
    Lock icon private

    Selection used internally by that class (ModelDocumentSelection is a proxy to that selection).

Methods

  • Chevron-right icon

    constructor( doc )

    Creates an empty live selection for given ModelDocument.

    Parameters

    doc : ModelDocument

    Document which owns this selection.

  • Chevron-right icon

    containsEntireContent( element ) → boolean

    Checks whether the selection contains the entire content of the given element. This means that selection must start at a position touching the element's start and ends at position touching the element's end.

    By default, this method will check whether the entire content of the selection's current root is selected. Useful to check if e.g. the user has just pressed Ctrl + A.

    Parameters

    element : ModelElement

    Returns

    boolean
  • Chevron-right icon

    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

    Unbinds all events previously bound by document selection.

    Returns

    void
  • 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

    getAttribute( key ) → unknown

    Gets an attribute value for given key or undefined if that attribute is not set on the selection.

    Parameters

    key : string

    Key of attribute to look for.

    Returns

    unknown

    Attribute value or undefined.

  • Chevron-right icon

    getAttributeKeys() → IterableIterator<string>

    Returns iterable that iterates over this selection's attribute keys.

    Returns

    IterableIterator<string>
  • Chevron-right icon

    getAttributes() → IterableIterator<tuple>

    Returns iterable that iterates over this selection's attributes.

    Attributes are returned as arrays containing two items. First one is attribute key and second is attribute value. This format is accepted by native Map object and also can be passed in Node constructor.

    Returns

    IterableIterator<tuple>
  • Chevron-right icon

    Returns the first position in the selection. First position is the position that is before any other position in the selection.

    Returns null if there are no ranges in selection.

    Returns

    null | ModelPosition
  • Chevron-right icon

    Returns a copy of the first range in the selection. First range is the one which start position is before start position of all other ranges (not to confuse with the first range added to the selection).

    Returns null if there are no ranges in selection.

    Returns

    null | ModelRange
  • Chevron-right icon

    Returns the last position in the selection. Last position is the position that is after any other position in the selection.

    Returns null if there are no ranges in selection.

    Returns

    null | ModelPosition
  • Chevron-right icon

    getLastRange() → null | ModelRange

    Returns a copy of the last range in the selection. Last range is the one which end position is after end position of all other ranges (not to confuse with the range most recently added to the selection).

    Returns null if there are no ranges in selection.

    Returns

    null | ModelRange
  • Chevron-right icon

    getRanges() → IterableIterator<ModelRange>

    Returns an iterable that iterates over copies of selection ranges.

    Returns

    IterableIterator<ModelRange>
  • Chevron-right icon

    getSelectedBlocks() → IterableIterator<ModelElement>

    Gets elements of type "block" touched by the selection.

    This method's result can be used for example to apply block styling to all blocks covered by this selection.

    Note: getSelectedBlocks() returns blocks that are nested in other non-block elements but will not return blocks nested in other blocks.

    In this case the function will return exactly all 3 paragraphs (note: <blockQuote> is not a block itself):

    <paragraph>[a</paragraph>
    <blockQuote>
    	<paragraph>b</paragraph>
    </blockQuote>
    <paragraph>c]d</paragraph>
    
    Copy code

    In this case the paragraph will also be returned, despite the collapsed selection:

    <paragraph>[]a</paragraph>
    
    Copy code

    In such a scenario, however, only blocks A, B & E will be returned as blocks C & D are nested in block B:

    [<blockA></blockA>
    <blockB>
    	<blockC></blockC>
    	<blockD></blockD>
    </blockB>
    <blockE></blockE>]
    
    Copy code

    If the selection is inside a block all the inner blocks (A & B) are returned:

    <block>
    	<blockA>[a</blockA>
    	<blockB>b]</blockB>
    </block>
    
    Copy code

    Special case: If a selection ends at the beginning of a block, that block is not returned as from user perspective this block wasn't selected. See #984 for more details.

    <paragraph>[a</paragraph>
    <paragraph>b</paragraph>
    <paragraph>]c</paragraph> // this block will not be returned
    
    Copy code

    Returns

    IterableIterator<ModelElement>
  • Chevron-right icon

    Returns the selected element. Element is considered as selected if there is only one range in the selection, and that range contains exactly one element. Returns null if there is no selected element.

    Returns

    null | ModelElement
  • Chevron-right icon

    hasAttribute( key ) → boolean

    Checks if the selection has an attribute for given key.

    Parameters

    inherited

    Checks whether the object is of type ModelNode or its subclass.

    This method is useful when processing model objects that are of unknown type. For example, a function may return a ModelDocumentFragment or a ModelNode 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
    
    Copy code

    Since this method is also available on a range of view 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:

    modelElement.is( 'model:element' ); // -> true
    modelElement.is( 'view:element' ); // -> false
    
    Copy code

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

    imageElement.is( 'element', 'imageBlock' ); // -> true
    imageElement.is( 'element', 'imageBlock' ); // -> same as above
    imageElement.is( 'model:element', 'imageBlock' ); // -> same as above, but more precise
    
    Copy code

    Parameters

    type : 'node' | 'model:node'

    Returns

    this is ModelNode | ModelText | ModelElement | ModelRootElement
  • 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.

  • Chevron-right icon

    _overrideGravity() → string
    internal

    Temporarily changes the gravity of the selection from the left to the right.

    The gravity defines from which direction the selection inherits its attributes. If it's the default left gravity, the selection (after being moved by the the user) inherits attributes from its left hand side. This method allows to temporarily override this behavior by forcing the gravity to the right.

    It returns an unique identifier which is required to restore the gravity. It guarantees the symmetry of the process.

    Returns

    string

    The unique id which allows restoring the gravity.

    Parameters

    key : string

    Key of the attribute to remove.

    Returns

    void

Events

  • Chevron-right icon

    change( eventInfo, directChange = { [directChange.attributeKeys], directChange.directChange, [directChange.oldMarkers] } )

    Fired when selection range(s), attribute(s) or marker(s) changed.

    Parameters

    eventInfo : EventInfo

    An object containing information about the fired event.

    directChange : object

    This is always set to false in case of change:marker event as there is no possibility to change markers directly through ModelDocumentSelection API. See also event-change:range and event-change:attribute.

    Properties
    [ directChange.attributeKeys ] : Array<string>
    directChange.directChange : boolean
    [ directChange.oldMarkers ] : Array<Marker>
  • Chevron-right icon

    change:attribute( eventInfo, directChange = { directChange.attributeKeys, directChange.directChange } )

    Fired when selection attribute changed.

    Parameters

    eventInfo : EventInfo

    An object containing information about the fired event.

    directChange : object

    In case of ModelSelection class it is always set to true which indicates that the selection change was caused by a direct use of selection's API. The ModelDocumentSelection, however, may change because its attributes were directly changed through the writer or because its position was changed in the model and its attributes were refreshed (which means an indirect change). The indirect change does not occur in case of normal (detached) selections because they are "static" (as "not live") which mean that they are not updated once the document changes.

    Properties
    directChange.attributeKeys : Array<string>
    directChange.directChange : boolean
  • Chevron-right icon

    change:marker( eventInfo, directChange = { directChange.directChange, directChange.oldMarkers } )

    Fired when selection marker(s) changed.

    Parameters

    eventInfo : EventInfo

    An object containing information about the fired event.

    directChange : object

    This is always set to false in case of change:marker event as there is no possibility to change markers directly through ModelDocumentSelection API. See also event-change:range and event-change:attribute.

    Properties
    directChange.directChange : boolean
    directChange.oldMarkers : Array<Marker>
  • Chevron-right icon

    change:range( eventInfo, directChange = { directChange.directChange } )

    Fired when selection range(s) changed.

    Parameters

    eventInfo : EventInfo

    An object containing information about the fired event.

    directChange : object

    In case of ModelSelection class it is always set to true which indicates that the selection change was caused by a direct use of selection's API. The ModelDocumentSelection, however, may change because its position was directly changed through the writer or because its position was changed because the structure of the model has been changed (which means an indirect change). The indirect change does not occur in case of normal (detached) selections because they are "static" (as "not live") which mean that they are not updated once the document changes.

    Properties
    directChange.directChange : boolean
