ModelRange

class

Represents a range in the model tree.

A range is defined by its start and end positions.

You can create range instances via its constructor or the createRange*() factory methods of Model and ModelWriter.

See source

Properties

Methods

constructor( start, [ end ] )

Creates a range spanning from start position to end position.
See source (with github icon)
Parameters
start : ModelPosition
The start position.
[ end ] : null | ModelPosition
The end position. If not set, the range will be collapsed at the start position.
Symbol.iterator() → IterableIterator<ModelTreeWalkerValue>

Iterable interface.
Iterates over all items that are in this range and returns them together with additional information like length or positions, grouped as ModelTreeWalkerValue. It iterates over all text contents that are inside the range and all the ModelElements that are entered into when iterating over this range.
This iterator uses ModelTreeWalker with boundaries set to this range and ignoreElementEnd option set to true.
See source (with github icon)
Returns
IterableIterator<ModelTreeWalkerValue>
clone() → this

Returns a new range that is equal to current range.
See source (with github icon)
Returns
this
containsItem( item ) → boolean

Checks whether given ModelItem is inside this range.
See source (with github icon)
Parameters
item : ModelItem
Returns
boolean
containsPosition( position ) → boolean

Checks whether this range contains given position.
See source (with github icon)
Parameters
position : ModelPosition
Position to check.
Returns
boolean
true if given position is contained in this range,false otherwise.
containsRange( otherRange, loose ) → boolean

Checks whether this range contains given range.
See source (with github icon)
Parameters
otherRange : ModelRange
Range to check.
loose : boolean
Whether the check is loose or strict. If the check is strict (false), compared range cannot start or end at the same position as this range boundaries. If the check is loose (true), compared range can start, end or even be equal to this range. Note that collapsed ranges are always compared in strict mode.

Defaults to false
Returns
boolean
true if given range boundaries are contained by this range, false otherwise.
getCommonAncestor() → null | ModelElement | ModelDocumentFragment

Returns an ModelElement or ModelDocumentFragment which is a common ancestor of the range's both ends (in which the entire range is contained).
See source (with github icon)
Returns
null | ModelElement | ModelDocumentFragment
getContainedElement() → null | ModelElement

Returns an Element contained by the range. The element will be returned when it is the only node within the range and fully–contained at the same time.
See source (with github icon)
Returns
null | ModelElement

`getDifference( otherRange ) → Array<ModelRange>`

module:engine/model/range~ModelRange#getDifference

Computes which part(s) of this range is not a part of given range. Returned array contains zero, one or two ranges.

Examples:

let range = model.createRange(
	model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 2, 7 ] ),
	model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 4, 0, 1 ] )
);
let otherRange = model.createRange( model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 1 ] ), model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 5 ] ) );
let transformed = range.getDifference( otherRange );
// transformed array has no ranges because `otherRange` contains `range`

otherRange = model.createRange( model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 1 ] ), model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 3 ] ) );
transformed = range.getDifference( otherRange );
// transformed array has one range: from [ 3 ] to [ 4, 0, 1 ]

otherRange = model.createRange( model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 3 ] ), model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 4 ] ) );
transformed = range.getDifference( otherRange );
// transformed array has two ranges: from [ 2, 7 ] to [ 3 ] and from [ 4 ] to [ 4, 0, 1 ]

See source

Parameters

otherRange : ModelRange: Range to differentiate against.

Returns

Array<ModelRange>: The difference between ranges.

`getIntersection( otherRange ) → null | ModelRange`

module:engine/model/range~ModelRange#getIntersection

Returns an intersection of this range and given range. Intersection is a common part of both of those ranges. If ranges has no common part, returns null.

Examples:

let range = model.createRange(
	model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 2, 7 ] ),
	model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 4, 0, 1 ] )
);
let otherRange = model.createRange( model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 1 ] ), model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 2 ] ) );
let transformed = range.getIntersection( otherRange ); // null - ranges have no common part

otherRange = model.createRange( model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 3 ] ), model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 5 ] ) );
transformed = range.getIntersection( otherRange ); // range from [ 3 ] to [ 4, 0, 1 ]

See source

Parameters

otherRange : ModelRange: Range to check for intersection.

Returns

null | ModelRange: A common part of given ranges or null if ranges have no common part.

getItems( options ) → IterableIterator<ModelItem>

Returns an iterator that iterates over all items that are in this range and returns them.
This method uses ModelTreeWalker with boundaries set to this range and ignoreElementEnd option set to true. However it returns only model items, not ModelTreeWalkerValue.
You may specify additional options for the tree walker. See ModelTreeWalker for a full list of available options.
See source (with github icon)
Parameters
options : ModelTreeWalkerOptions
Object with configuration options. See ModelTreeWalker.

Defaults to {}
Returns
IterableIterator<ModelItem>
getJoined( otherRange, loose ) → null | ModelRange
module:engine/model/range~ModelRange#getJoined
Returns a range created by joining this range with the given range. If ranges have no common part, returns null.
Examples:
```
let range = model.createRange(
	model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 2, 7 ] ),
	model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 4, 0, 1 ] )
);
let otherRange = model.createRange(
	model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 1 ] ),
	model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 2 ] )
 * );
let transformed = range.getJoined( otherRange ); // null - ranges have no common part

otherRange = model.createRange(
	model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 3 ] ),
	model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 5 ] )
);
transformed = range.getJoined( otherRange ); // range from [ 2, 7 ] to [ 5 ]
```
Copy code
See source (with github icon)
Parameters
otherRange : ModelRange
Range to be joined.
loose : boolean
Whether the intersection check is loose or strict. If the check is strict (false), ranges are tested for intersection or whether start/end positions are equal. If the check is loose (true), compared range is also checked if it's touching current range.

Defaults to false
Returns
null | ModelRange
A sum of given ranges or null if ranges have no common part.

`getMinimalFlatRanges() → Array<ModelRange>`

module:engine/model/range~ModelRange#getMinimalFlatRanges

Computes and returns the smallest set of flat ranges, that covers this range in whole.

See an example of a model structure ([ and ] are range boundaries):

root                                                            root
 |- element DIV                         DIV             P2              P3             DIV
 |   |- element H                   H        P1        f o o           b a r       H         P4
 |   |   |- "fir[st"             fir[st     lorem                               se]cond     ipsum
 |   |- element P1
 |   |   |- "lorem"                                              ||
 |- element P2                                                   ||
 |   |- "foo"                                                    VV
 |- element P3
 |   |- "bar"                                                   root
 |- element DIV                         DIV             [P2             P3]             DIV
 |   |- element H                   H       [P1]       f o o           b a r        H         P4
 |   |   |- "se]cond"            fir[st]    lorem                               [se]cond     ipsum
 |   |- element P4
 |   |   |- "ipsum"

As it can be seen, letters contained in the range are: stloremfoobarse, spread across different parents. We are looking for minimal set of flat ranges that contains the same nodes.

Minimal flat ranges for above range ( [ 0, 0, 3 ], [ 3, 0, 2 ] ) will be:

( [ 0, 0, 3 ], [ 0, 0, 5 ] ) = "st"
( [ 0, 1 ], [ 0, 2 ] ) = element P1 ("lorem")
( [ 1 ], [ 3 ] ) = element P2, element P3 ("foobar")
( [ 3, 0, 0 ], [ 3, 0, 2 ] ) = "se"

Note: if an element is not wholly contained in this range, it won't be returned in any of the returned flat ranges. See in the example how H elements at the beginning and at the end of the range were omitted. Only their parts that were wholly in the range were returned.

Note: this method is not returning flat ranges that contain no nodes.

See source

Returns

Array<ModelRange>: Array of flat ranges covering this range.

getPositions( options ) → IterableIterator<ModelPosition>

Returns an iterator that iterates over all positions that are boundaries or contained in this range.
This method uses ModelTreeWalker with boundaries set to this range. However it returns only positions, not ModelTreeWalkerValue.

Note: transformation may break one range into multiple ranges (for example, when a part of the range is moved to a different part of document tree). For this reason, an array is returned by this method and it may contain one or more Range instances.
See source (with github icon)
Parameters
operation : Operation

module:engine/model/range~ModelRange#is:NODE
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
```
