HtmlEmbedCommand (html-embed)
@ckeditor/ckeditor5-html-embed/src/htmlembedcommand
The insert HTML embed element command.
The command is registered by HtmlEmbedEditing
as 'htmlEmbed'
.
To insert an empty HTML embed element at the current selection, execute the command:
editor.execute( 'htmlEmbed' );
You can specify the initial content of a new HTML embed in the argument:
editor.execute( 'htmlEmbed', '<b>Initial content.</b>' );
To update the content of the HTML embed, select it in the model and pass the content in the argument:
editor.execute( 'htmlEmbed', '<b>New content of an existing embed.</b>' );
Filtering
Properties
-
A flag indicating whether a command execution changes the editor data or not.
Commands with
affectsData
set tofalse
will not be automatically disabled in the read-only mode and other editor modes with restricted user write permissions.Note: You do not have to set it for your every command. It is
true
by default.Parameters
affectsData : boolean
-
The editor on which this command will be used.
-
inherited observable
isEnabled : boolean
module:html-embed/htmlembedcommand~HtmlEmbedCommand#isEnabled
Flag indicating whether a command is enabled or disabled. A disabled command will do nothing when executed.
A given command class should control this value by overriding the
refresh()
method.It is possible to disable a command "from outside" using
forceDisabled
method. -
The value of the command. A given command class should define what it represents for it.
For example, the
'bold'
command's value indicates whether the selection starts in a bolded text. And the value of the'link'
command may be an object with link details.It is possible for a command to have no value (e.g. for stateless actions such as
'uploadImage'
).A given command class should control this value by overriding the
refresh()
method. -
protected inherited
_isEnabledBasedOnSelection : boolean
module:html-embed/htmlembedcommand~HtmlEmbedCommand#_isEnabledBasedOnSelection
A flag indicating whether a command's
isEnabled
state should be changed depending on where the document selection is placed.By default, it is set to
true
. If the document selection is placed in a non-editable place (such as non-editable root), the command becomes disabled.The flag should be changed to
false
in a concrete command's constructor if the command should not change itsisEnabled
accordingly to the document selection.

bind( bindProperties ) → MultiBindChain
module:html-embed/htmlembedcommand~HtmlEmbedCommand#bind:MANY_BIND
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 associatedcommand
(bothObservable
).A simple property binding could be as follows:
button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command, 'isEnabled' );
or even shorter:
button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command );
which works in the following way:
button.isEnabled
instantly equalscommand.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' );
It is possible to bind more than one property at a time to shorten the code:
button.bind( 'isEnabled', 'value' ).to( command );
which corresponds to:
button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command ); button.bind( 'value' ).to( command );
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 );
Using a custom callback allows processing the value before passing it to the target property:
button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command, 'value', value => value === 'heading1' );
It is also possible to bind to the same property in an array of observables. To bind a
button
to multiple commands (alsoObservables
) 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 );
Parameters
bindProperties : Array<'off' | 'on' | 'once' | 'listenTo' | 'stopListening' | 'fire' | 'delegate' | 'stopDelegating' | 'set' | 'bind' | 'unbind' | 'decorate' | 'destroy' | 'value' | 'execute' | 'isEnabled' | 'affectsData' | 'refresh' | 'editor' | 'forceDisabled' | 'clearForceDisabled'>
Observable properties that will be bound to other observable(s).
Returns
MultiBindChain

to()
andtoMany()
methods.

clearForceDisabled( id ) → void
module:html-embed/htmlembedcommand~HtmlEmbedCommand#clearForceDisabled

-
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.
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'
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'
Parameters
methodName : 'off' | 'on' | 'once' | 'listenTo' | 'stopListening' | 'fire' | 'delegate' | 'stopDelegating' | 'set' | 'bind' | 'unbind' | 'decorate' | 'destroy' | 'value' | 'execute' | 'isEnabled' | 'affectsData' | 'refresh' | 'editor' | 'forceDisabled' | 'clearForceDisabled'
Name of the method to decorate.

delegate( events ) → EmitterMixinDelegateChain
module:html-embed/htmlembedcommand~HtmlEmbedCommand#delegate
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
andemitterC
along withdata
:emitterA.fire( 'eventX', data );
and
eventY
is delegated (fired by)emitterC
along withdata
:emitterA.fire( 'eventY', data );
Parameters
events : Array<string>
Event names that will be delegated to another emitter.
Returns

-
execute( [ value ] ) → void
module:html-embed/htmlembedcommand~HtmlEmbedCommand#execute
Executes the command, which either:
- creates and inserts a new HTML embed element if none was selected,
- updates the content of the HTML embed if one was selected.
Parameters
[ value ] : string
When passed, the value (content) will be set on a new embed or a selected one.
Returns
void
Fires
-
inherited
fire( eventOrInfo, args ) → GetEventInfo<TEvent>[ 'return' ]
module:html-embed/htmlembedcommand~HtmlEmbedCommand#fire
Fires an event, executing all callbacks registered for it.
The first parameter passed to callbacks is an
EventInfo
object, followed by the optionalargs
provided in thefire()
method call.Type parameters
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 theevt.return
's property (the event info is the first param of every callback).
-
inherited
forceDisabled( id ) → void
module:html-embed/htmlembedcommand~HtmlEmbedCommand#forceDisabled
Disables the command.
Command may be disabled by multiple features or algorithms (at once). When disabling a command, unique id should be passed (e.g. the feature name). The same identifier should be used when enabling back the command. The command becomes enabled only after all features enabled it back.
Disabling and enabling a command:
command.isEnabled; // -> true command.forceDisabled( 'MyFeature' ); command.isEnabled; // -> false command.clearForceDisabled( 'MyFeature' ); command.isEnabled; // -> true
Command disabled by multiple features:
command.forceDisabled( 'MyFeature' ); command.forceDisabled( 'OtherFeature' ); command.clearForceDisabled( 'MyFeature' ); command.isEnabled; // -> false command.clearForceDisabled( 'OtherFeature' ); command.isEnabled; // -> true
Multiple disabling with the same identifier is redundant:
command.forceDisabled( 'MyFeature' ); command.forceDisabled( 'MyFeature' ); command.clearForceDisabled( 'MyFeature' ); command.isEnabled; // -> true
Note: some commands or algorithms may have more complex logic when it comes to enabling or disabling certain commands, so the command might be still disabled after
clearForceDisabled
was used.Parameters
id : string
Unique identifier for disabling. Use the same id when enabling back the command.
Returns
void
-
inherited
listenTo( emitter, event, callback, [ options ] ) → void
module:html-embed/htmlembedcommand~HtmlEmbedCommand#listenTo:BASE_EMITTER
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

emitter : Emitter
The object that fires the event.
event : TEvent[ 'name' ]
The name of the event.
callback : GetCallback<TEvent>

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 thatfoo.set( 'bar', 1 )
may be slightly slower thanfoo.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' } ); }
Parameters
values : object
An object with
name=>value
pairs.
Returns
void
