FakeSelectionObserver

Api-class icon class

Fake selection observer class. If view selection is fake it is placed in dummy DOM container. This observer listens on keydown events and handles moving fake view selection to the correct place if arrow keys are pressed. Fires selectionChange event simulating natural behaviour of SelectionObserver.

Properties

Methods

  • Chevron-right icon

    constructor( view )

    Creates new FakeSelectionObserver instance.

    Parameters

    view : EditingView
  • Chevron-right icon

    checkShouldIgnoreEventFromTarget( domTarget ) → boolean
    inherited

    Checks whether a given DOM event should be ignored (should not be turned into a synthetic view document event).

    Currently, an event will be ignored only if its target or any of its ancestors has the data-cke-ignore-events attribute. This attribute can be used inside the structures generated by ViewDowncastWriter#createUIElement() to ignore events fired within a UI that should be excluded from CKEditor 5's realms.

    Parameters

    domTarget : null | Node

    The DOM event target to check (usually an element, sometimes a text node and potentially sometimes a document, too).

    Returns

    boolean

    Whether this event should be ignored by the observer.

    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

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

    Returns

    void
  • Chevron-right icon

    disable() → void
    inherited

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

    Returns

    void

    enable() → void
    inherited

    Enables the observer. This method is called when the observer is registered to the EditingView 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.

    Returns

    void

    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

    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 ] : CallbackOptions

    Additional options.

    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 or DOM Node. It is backwards compatible with listenTo.

    Type parameters

    K : extends keyof DomEventMap

    Parameters

    emitter : Window | EventTarget | Node

    The object that fires the event.

    event : K

    The name of the event.

    callback : ( this: this, ev: EventInfo, event: DomEventMap[ K ] ) => void

    The function to be called on event.

    [ options ] : object

    Additional options.

    Returns

    void
  • Chevron-right icon

    observe() → void

    Starts observing given DOM element.

    Returns

    void
  • Chevron-right icon

    off( event, callback ) → void
    inherited

    Stops executing the callback on the given event. Shorthand for this.stopListening( this, event, callback ).

    Parameters

    event : string

    The name of the event.

    Parameters

    event : TEvent[ 'name' ]

    • To stop delegating a specific event to a specific emitter.

    Parameters

    [ event ] : string

    The name of the event to stop delegating. If omitted, stops it all delegations.

    • To stop listening to a specific event.
    • To stop listening to all events fired by a specific object.
    • To stop listening to all events fired by all objects.

    _handleSelectionMove( keyCode ) → void
    Lock icon private

    Handles collapsing view selection according to given key code. If left or up key is provided - new selection will be collapsed to left. If right or down key is pressed - new selection will be collapsed to right.

    This method fires event-selectionChange and event-selectionChangeDone events imitating behaviour of SelectionObserver.

    Parameters

    keyCode : number

    Returns

    void
