MouseObserver (engine/view/observer)

class
See source

Mouse events observer.

Note that this observer is not available by default. To make it available it needs to be added to View by addObserver method.

Filtering

Properties

  • readonly inherited

    document : Document

    See source

    A reference to the Document object.

  • readonly

    domEventType : readonly tuple

    See source

  • readonly inherited

    isEnabled : boolean

    See source

    The state of the observer. If it is disabled, no events will be fired.

  • inherited

    useCapture : boolean

    See source

    If set to true DOM events will be listened on the capturing phase. Default value is false.

  • inherited

    usePassive : boolean

    See source

    If set to true, indicates that the function specified by listener will never call preventDefault(). Default value is false.

  • readonly inherited

    view : View

    See source

    An instance of the view controller.

Methods

  • inherited

    constructor( view )

    See source

    Creates an instance of the observer.

    Parameters

    view : View

  • inherited

    checkShouldIgnoreEventFromTarget( domTarget ) → boolean

    See source

    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 DowncastWriter#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.

  • inherited

    delegate( events ) → EmitterMixinDelegateChain

    See source

    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 : Array<string>

    Event names that will be delegated to another emitter.

    Returns

    EmitterMixinDelegateChain

  • inherited

    destroy() → void

    See source

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

    Returns

    void

  • inherited

    disable() → void

    See source

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

    Returns

    void

  • inherited

    enable() → void

    See source

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

  • inherited

    fire( eventType, domEvent, [ additionalData ] ) → void

    See source

    Calls Document#fire() if observer is enabled.

    Parameters

    eventType : string | EventInfo<string, unknown>

    The event type (name).

    domEvent : Event

    The DOM event.

    [ additionalData ] : object

    The additional data which should extend the event data object.

    Returns

    void

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

    See source

    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' );

    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

  • inherited

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

    See source

    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 | Node

    The object that fires the event.

    event : K

    The name of the event.

    callback : ( MouseObserver, EventInfo<string, unknown>, DomEventMap[ K ] ) => void

    The function to be called on event.

    [ options ] : object

    Additional options.

    Returns

    void

  • inherited

    observe( domElement ) → void

    DOM element to observe.

    Returns

    void

  • inherited

    off( event, callback ) → void

  • inherited

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