@ckeditor/ckeditor5-track-changes/src/trackchangesediting

class

Provides editing part of the track changes plugin.

Filtering

Properties

  • observable

    activeMarkers : Array<string>

    List of names of active (highlighted) markers.

  • adapter : null | TrackChangesAdapter

    Parameters

    adapter : null | TrackChangesAdapter
  • descriptionFactory : SuggestionDescriptionFactory

    Descriptions factory which generates descriptions for the suggestions created by the track changes plugin.

  • readonly inherited

    editor : Editor

    The editor instance.

    Note that most editors implement the ui property. However, editors with an external UI (i.e. Bootstrap-based) or a headless editor may not have this property or throw an error when accessing it.

    Because of above, to make plugins more universal, it is recommended to split features into:

    • The "editing" part that uses the Editor class without ui property.
    • The "UI" part that uses the Editor class and accesses ui property.
  • inherited observable

    isEnabled : boolean

    Flag indicating whether a plugin is enabled or disabled. A disabled plugin will not transform text.

    Plugin can be simply disabled like that:

    // Disable the plugin so that no toolbars are visible.
    editor.plugins.get( 'TextTransformation' ).isEnabled = false;
    

    You can also use forceDisabled method.

  • trackChangesCommand : TrackChangesCommand

    Reference to command that turns the track changes mode on and off.

Static properties

  • readonly inherited static

    isContextPlugin : false

  • readonly static

    pluginName : 'TrackChangesEditing'

  • readonly static

    requires : readonly tuple

Methods

  • constructor( editor )

    Parameters

    Accept all adjacent suggestions.

    Parameters

    suggestion : Suggestion

    Returns

    void
  • addSuggestionData( data ) → Suggestion

    Adds suggestion data.

    Parameters

    data : SuggestionData

    Returns

    Suggestion
  • afterInit() → void

    Returns

    void
  • inherited

    bind( bindProperty1, bindProperty2 ) → DualBindChain<K1, TrackChangesEditing[ K1 ], K2, TrackChangesEditing[ K2 ]>

    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 associated command (both Observable).

    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 equals command.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 (also Observables) 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 );
    

    Type parameters

    K1
    K2

    Parameters

    bindProperty1 : K1

    Observable property that will be bound to other observable(s).

    bindProperty2 : K2

    Observable property that will be bound to other observable(s).

    Returns

    DualBindChain<K1, TrackChangesEditing[ K1 ], K2, TrackChangesEditing[ K2 ]>

    The bind chain with the to() and toMany() methods.

  • inherited

    clearForceDisabled( id ) → void

    Clears forced disable previously set through forceDisabled. See forceDisabled.

    Parameters

    id : string

    Unique identifier, equal to the one passed in forceDisabled call.

    Returns

    void
  • inherited

    decorate( methodName ) → void

    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' | 'isEnabled' | 'init' | 'editor' | 'forceDisabled' | 'clearForceDisabled' | 'afterInit' | 'adapter' | '_adapter' | 'getSuggestions' | 'getSuggestion' | 'activeMarkers' | 'descriptionFactory' | 'trackChangesCommand' | '_suggestionFactory' | '_isForcedDefaultExecutionBlock' | '_recordAttributeSuggestions' | 'acceptSuggestion' | 'discardSuggestion' | 'hasSuggestion' | 'addSuggestionData' | 'enableCommand' | 'forceDefaultExecution' | 'markInsertion' | 'markMultiRangeInsertion' | 'markInlineFormat' | 'markBlockFormat' | 'markMultiRangeBlockFormat' | 'markDeletion' | 'markMultiRangeDeletion' | 'markAttributeChange' | 'enableDefaultAttributesIntegration' | 'registerBlockAttribute' | 'registerInlineAttribute' | '_getAttributeKey' | '_splitMarkerName' | '_findSuggestions' | '_setSuggestionData' | '_isBlockAttribute'

    Name of the method to decorate.

    Returns

    void
  • inherited

    delegate( events ) → EmitterMixinDelegateChain

    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

    Destroys the plugin.

    Note: This method is optional. A plugin instance does not need to have it defined.

    Returns

    void
  • discardSuggestion( suggestion ) → void

    Discard all adjacent suggestions.

    Parameters

    suggestion : Suggestion

    Returns

    void
  • enableCommand( commandName, [ callback ] ) → void

    Enables command with given commandName in track changes mode.

    When a command gets enabled in track changes mode, its original execute() method is overwritten by provided callback() function. The callback() should provide alternative logic to be executed instead.

    The callback() function is passed one or more parameters:

    • the first parameter is executeCommand(), a function that upon calling will fire the original execute() method,
    • then, all the parameters passed to original execute() call are passed.

    Using those parameters it is possible to call the original command in the callback() (or skip it) and also do something before and/or after that call.

    If callback is not set then the command will work the same both when track changes is on and off.

    See the Integrating track changes with custom features guide to learn more about enabling your feature in the suggestion mode.

    Parameters

    commandName : string
    [ callback ] : Function

    Returns

    void
  • enableDefaultAttributesIntegration( commandName ) → void

    Enables default attributes suggestions integration for given command.

    Parameters

    commandName : string

    Name of the command to integrate.

    Returns

    void
  • inherited

    fire( eventOrInfo, args ) → GetEventInfo<TEvent>[ 'return' ]

    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).

  • forceDefaultExecution( callback ) → unknown

    Temporarily disable track changes to accept or discard a suggestion without intercepting original calls.

    Parameters

    callback : Function

    Returns

    unknown
  • inherited

    forceDisabled( id ) → void

    Disables the plugin.

    Plugin may be disabled by multiple features or algorithms (at once). When disabling a plugin, unique id should be passed (e.g. feature name). The same identifier should be used when enabling back the plugin. The plugin becomes enabled only after all features enabled it back.

    Disabling and enabling a plugin:

    plugin.isEnabled; // -> true
    plugin.forceDisabled( 'MyFeature' );
    plugin.isEnabled; // -> false
    plugin.clearForceDisabled( 'MyFeature' );
    plugin.isEnabled; // -> true
    

    Plugin disabled by multiple features:

    plugin.forceDisabled( 'MyFeature' );
    plugin.forceDisabled( 'OtherFeature' );
    plugin.clearForceDisabled( 'MyFeature' );
    plugin.isEnabled; // -> false
    plugin.clearForceDisabled( 'OtherFeature' );
    plugin.isEnabled; // -> true
    

    Multiple disabling with the same identifier is redundant:

    plugin.forceDisabled( 'MyFeature' );
    plugin.forceDisabled( 'MyFeature' );
    plugin.clearForceDisabled( 'MyFeature' );
    plugin.isEnabled; // -> true
    

    Note: some plugins or algorithms may have more complex logic when it comes to enabling or disabling certain plugins, so the plugin might be still disabled after clearForceDisabled was used.

    Parameters

    id : string

    Unique identifier for disabling. Use the same id when enabling back the plugin.

    Returns

    void
  • getSuggestion( id ) → Suggestion

    Returns suggestion for given id.

    Parameters

    id : string

    Returns

    Suggestion
  • getSuggestions( options = { [options.skipNotAttached], options.toJSON } ) → Array<SuggestionJSON>

    Returns the list of all Suggestion instances existing in the editor.

    Parameters

    options : object
    Properties
    [ options.skipNotAttached ] : boolean
    options.toJSON : true

    Returns

    Array<SuggestionJSON>
  • getSuggestions( options = { [options.skipNotAttached], options.toJSON } ) → Array<Suggestion> | Array<SuggestionJSON>

    Parameters

    id : string

    Returns

    boolean
  • init() → void

    Returns

    void
  • inherited

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

    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 ] : GetCallbackOptions<TEvent>

    Additional options.

    Returns

    void
  • markAttributeChange( range, key, oldValue, newValue, attributes = { attributes.groupId, attributes[key: string] } ) → Array<Suggestion>

    Marks a single-range attribute suggestion on the given range.

    Note: all nodes in the given range must have the same current value of key attribute.

    Note: if a block attribute is marked, range should include only a single model element.

    attributes is a required value and must include groupId: string property. The group id is used to group attribute suggestions together. All suggestions with the same groupId will be put into one suggestion chain. By default, all attribute suggestions created during the same batch have the same groupId.

    It's possible that more than one suggestion will be created by this method if there are already suggestions with the same key but a different oldValue intersecting with the given range.

    It is guaranteed that there will be no "conflicting" suggestions, that is, there will be no two intersecting suggestions for the same attribute key. If there is a conflicting suggestion, it will be partially or fully replaced by a new suggestion.

    This method should be used in callback() in TrackChangesEditing#enableCommand to inform the track changes plugin about a suggestion that happened.

    Always call this method inside model.change() or model.enqueueChange() block to ensure that all operations performed by this method are bound with one undo step.

    See Integrating track changes with custom features guide to learn more about enabling your feature in the suggestion mode.

    Parameters

    range : Range

    Range for which the attribute has changed.

    key : string

    Key of the attribute that changed.

    oldValue : unknown

    Previous value of the attribute.

    newValue : unknown

    New value of the attribute.

    attributes : object

    Suggestion attributes. Must include groupId.

    Properties
    attributes.groupId : string
    attributes[key: string] : any

    Returns

    Array<Suggestion>
  • markBlockFormat( elementOrRange, formatData, affectedElements, subType, attributes ) → null | Suggestion

    Marks a block format suggestion on the given range.

    Block format suggestions are directly coupled with editor commands and represent a command execution on the given range or element.

    This type of format suggestion is suitable for formatting (attribute) changes on block elements. Changes like resizing image, applying block quote or changing header type use this type of format suggestion.

    Pass element if the suggestion should be marked exactly on that element. This is suitable if the command modifies exactly given element (for example, changes an attribute of that element). If such element is split, an additional suggestion is created for the new element:

    	[<paragraph>Foobar]</paragraph>  -->  [<paragraph>Foo]</paragraph>[<paragraph>bar]</paragraph>
    

    Pass range for suggestions representing commands that can be executed on multiple blocks at once. This is suitable for commands which modifies all the block elements found in given range (those commands usually operate on selection ranges). This creates only one suggestion for the whole range and do not create additional suggestions if blocks in the range are split:

    	[<paragraph>Foobar]</paragraph>  -->  [<paragraph>Foo</paragraph><paragraph>Bar]</paragraph>
    

    Example of marking block format suggestion on an element:

    trackChangesPlugin.markBlockFormat( paragraphElement, {
    		commandName: 'heading',
    		commandParams: [ { value: 'heading1' } ],
    		formatGroupId: 'blockName'
    	} );
    

    Example of marking block format suggestion on a range:

    plugin.markBlockFormat( selectionRange, {
    		commandName: 'blockQuote',
    		commandParams: [ { forceValue: true } ]
    } );
    

    If you pass a range, it should start before the first element to change and end:

    • for blocks (like paragraph, list item, heading, etc.): at the end of the last element to change,
    • for objects (like image, table, media embed, etc.): after the last element to change.
    [<paragraph>Foo</paragraph><paragraph>Bar]</paragraph><paragraph>Xyz</paragraph>
    [<paragraph>Foo</paragraph><imageBlock src="foo.jpg"></imageBlock>]<paragraph>Xyz</paragraph>
    

    This method should be used in callback() in TrackChangesEditing#enableCommand to inform the track changes plugin about a suggestion that happened.

    Always call this method inside model.change() or model.enqueueChange() block to ensure that all operations performed by this method are bound with one undo step.

    When a format suggestion is accepted the command is executed based on parameters passed in formatData.

    If a block format suggestion is marked inside the local user's insertion suggestion, the change is applied directly and no suggestion is created. Note that this does not support partial intersections with insertion suggestions (as opposed to inline format suggestions).

    If possible, the new suggestion will be joined with an existing suggestion (of the same type). This happens only if the suggestions are created by the same user and have similar attributes (i.e. passed attributes do not conflict with the existing suggestion).

    See the Integrating track changes with custom features guide to learn more about enabling your feature in the suggestion mode.

    Parameters

    elementOrRange : Element | Range

    Element or range on which the change happened.

    formatData : FormatData

    Command parameters and additional suggestion parameters.

    affectedElements : Array<Element>

    Elements (other than elementOrRange) that are also affected by the command execution. This parameter is used when the effect of the command execution is larger than elementOrRange. It is used when determining whether the change should be applied directly or if the suggestion should be created.

    Defaults to []

    subType : null | string

    Suggestion subType to set. If not set (which is the default and recommended use) the sub type value is a string hash generated from formatData. This guarantees that all block format suggestions that perform the same changes have the same sub types (and can be properly handled).

    Defaults to null

    attributes : Record<string, unknown>

    Custom suggestion attributes.

    Defaults to {}

    Returns

    null | Suggestion
  • markDeletion( range, subType, attributes ) → null | Suggestion

    Marks a single-range deletion suggestion on given range.

    If the range to mark intersects with or contains insertion suggestions created by the local user, those suggestions may be removed in a part or in the whole together with their content.

    trackChangesPlugin.markDeletion( deletedRange );
    trackChangesPlugin.markDeletion( deletedRange, 'customDeletion' );
    

    This method should be used in callback() in TrackChangesEditing#enableCommand to inform the track changes plugin about a suggestion that happened.

    Always call this method inside model.change() or model.enqueueChange() block to ensure that all operations performed by this method are bound with one undo step.

    If possible, the new suggestion will be joined with an existing suggestion (of the same type). This happens only if the suggestions are created by the same user and have similar attributes (i.e. passed attributes do not conflict with the existing suggestion).

    See Integrating track changes with custom features guide to learn more about enabling your feature in the suggestion mode.

    Parameters

    range : Range

    Range which should be marked as deletion suggestion.

    subType : null | string

    Suggestion subType to set. If not set, suggestion will be a generic insertion suggestion. Only suggestions with the same sub type will be joined.

    Defaults to null

    attributes : Record<string, unknown>

    Custom suggestion attributes.

    Defaults to {}

    Returns

    null | Suggestion

    Suggestion created or expanded as a result of execution of this method. Returns null if given range was collapsed or the deletion was in insertion (so no suggestion was created or expanded).

  • markInlineFormat( range, formatData, subType, attributes ) → null

    Marks an inline format suggestion on the given range.

    This type of format suggestion is suitable for formatting (attribute) changes on inline elements and text. Changes like adding bold or setting a link use this type of format suggestion.

    Inline format suggestions are directly coupled with editor commands and represent a command execution on given range.

    trackChangesPlugin.markInlineFormat( formattedRange, {
    		commandName: 'bold',
    		commandParams: [ { forceValue: true } ]
    } );
    
    trackChangesPlugin.markInlineFormat( formattedRange, formatData, 'customSubType' );
    

    This method should be used in callback() in TrackChangesEditing#enableCommand to inform the track changes plugin about a suggestion that happened.

    Always call this method inside model.change() or model.enqueueChange() block to ensure that all operations performed by this method are bound with one undo step.

    When a format suggestion is accepted the command is executed based on parameters passed in formatData.

    If an inline format suggestion is marked inside the local user's insertion suggestion, the change is applied directly and no suggestion is created. This supports partial intersections with insertion suggestions.

    If possible, the new suggestion will be joined with an existing suggestion (of the same type). This happens only if the suggestions are created by the same user and have similar attributes (i.e. passed attributes do not conflict with the existing suggestion).

    See the Integrating track changes with custom features guide to learn more about enabling your feature in the suggestion mode.

    Parameters

    range : Range

    Range on which the change happened.

    formatData : FormatData

    Command parameters.

    subType : null | string

    Suggestion subType to set. If not set (which is the default and recommended use) the sub type value is a string hash generated from formatData. This guarantees that all inline format suggestions that perform the same changes have the same sub type (and can be properly handled).

    Defaults to null

    attributes : Record<string, unknown>

    Custom suggestion attributes.

    Defaults to {}

    Returns

    null
  • markInsertion( range, subType, attributes ) → null | Suggestion

    Marks a single-range insertion suggestion on the given range.

    It is expected that given range is a range on just-created content and does not intersect with any other suggestion ranges.

    trackChangesPlugin.markInsertion( insertionRange );
    trackChangesPlugin.markInsertion( insertionRange, 'customInsertion' );
    

    This method should be used in callback() in TrackChangesEditing#enableCommand to inform the track changes plugin about a suggestion that happened.

    Always call this method inside model.change() or model.enqueueChange() block to ensure that all operations performed by this method are bound with one undo step.

    If possible, the new suggestion will be joined with an existing suggestion (of the same type). This happens only if the suggestions are created by the same user and have similar attributes (i.e. passed attributes do not conflict with the existing suggestion).

    See Integrating track changes with custom features guide to learn more about enabling your feature in the suggestion mode.

    Parameters

    range : Range

    Range on content which got inserted.

    subType : null | string

    Suggestion subType to set. If not set, suggestion will be a generic insertion suggestion. Only suggestions with the same sub type will be joined.

    Defaults to null

    attributes : Record<string, unknown>

    Custom suggestion attributes.

    Defaults to {}

    Returns

    null | Suggestion

    Suggestion created or expanded as a result of execution of this method. Returns null if given range was collapsed (so no suggestion was created or expanded).

  • markMultiRangeBlockFormat( elementsOrRanges, formatData, affectedElements, subType, attributes ) → null | Suggestion

    Marks a multi-range block format suggestion on given elements.

    See TrackChangesEditing#markBlockFormat() to learn more about block format suggestions. Note that this method can be used only on elements (not on ranges).

    This method is useful for creating a format suggestion on multiple elements which are not siblings, so one range cannot be used.

    This method should be used in callback() in TrackChangesEditing#enableCommand to inform the track changes plugin about a suggestion that happened.

    Always call this method inside model.change() or model.enqueueChange() block to ensure that all operations performed by this method are bound with one undo step.

    When a format suggestion is accepted the command is executed based on parameters passed in formatData.

    If a block format suggestion is marked inside the local user's insertion suggestion, the change is applied directly and no suggestion is created. Note that this does not support partial intersections with insertion suggestions (as opposed to inline format suggestions).

    If possible, the new suggestion will be joined with an existing suggestion (of the same type). This happens only if the suggestions are created by the same user and have similar attributes (i.e. passed attributes do not conflict with the existing suggestion).

    See the Integrating track changes with custom features guide to learn more about enabling your feature in the suggestion mode.

    Parameters

    elementsOrRanges : Array<Range> | Array<Element>

    Elements or ranges on which the change happened.

    formatData : FormatData

    Command parameters and additional suggestion parameters.

    affectedElements : Array<Element>

    Elements (other than elementOrRange) that are also affected by the command execution. This parameter is used when the effect of the command execution is larger than elementOrRange. It is used when determining whether the change should be applied directly or if the suggestion should be created.

    Defaults to []

    subType : null | string

    Suggestion subType to set. If not set (which is the default and recommended use) the sub type value is a string hash generated from formatData. This guarantees that all block format suggestions that perform the same changes have the same sub types (and can be properly handled).

    Defaults to null

    attributes : Record<string, unknown>

    Custom suggestion attributes.

    Defaults to {}

    Returns

    null | Suggestion
  • markMultiRangeDeletion( ranges, subType, attributes ) → null | Suggestion

    Marks a multi-range deletion suggestion spanning over given ranges.

    Each range of a multi-range deletion suggestion should contain exactly one element and should not be created on a text content.

    If the ranges to mark contain or are contained in insertion suggestions created by the local user, those insertion suggestions may be removed together with their content.

    trackChangesPlugin.markMultiRangeDeletion( deletedRanges );
    trackChangesPlugin.markMultiRangeDeletion( deletedRanges, 'customDeletion' );
    

    This method should be used in callback() in TrackChangesEditing#enableCommand to inform the track changes plugin about a suggestion that happened.

    Always call this method inside model.change() or model.enqueueChange() block to ensure that all operations performed by this method are bound with one undo step.

    If possible, the new suggestion will be joined with an existing suggestion (of the same type). This happens only if the suggestions are created by the same user and have similar attributes (i.e. passed attributes do not conflict with the existing suggestion).

    See the Integrating track changes with custom features guide to learn more about enabling your feature in the suggestion mode.

    Parameters

    ranges : Array<Range>

    Returns

    null | Suggestion

    Suggestion created or expanded as a result of execution of this method.

  • markMultiRangeInsertion( ranges, subType, attributes ) → Suggestion

    Marks a multi-range insertion suggestion spanning over given ranges.

    It is expected that given ranges are ranges on just-created content and do not intersect with any other suggestion ranges.

    Each range of a multi-range insertion suggestion should contain exactly one element and should not be created on a text content.

    trackChangesPlugin.markMultiRangeInsertion( insertionRanges );
    trackChangesPlugin.markMultiRangeInsertion( insertionRanges, 'customInsertion' );
    

    This method should be used in callback() in TrackChangesEditing#enableCommand to inform the track changes plugin about a suggestion that happened.

    The name of the event.

    callback : Function

    The function to stop being called.

    Returns

    void
  • inherited

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

    Registers a callback function to be executed when an event is fired.

    Shorthand for this.listenTo( this, event, callback, options ) (it makes the emitter listen on itself).

    The function to be called on event.

    [ options ] : GetCallbackOptions<TEvent>

    Additional options.

    Returns

    void
  • inherited

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

    Registers a callback function to be executed on the next time the event is fired only. This is similar to calling on followed by off in the callback.

    Type parameters

    TEvent : extends BaseEvent

    The type descibing the event. See BaseEvent.

    Parameters

    event : TEvent[ 'name' ]

    The name of the event.

  • registerBlockAttribute( attributeKey ) → void

    Registers given attribute key for tracking as a block attribute (i.e. an attribute made on a block element).

    Parameters

    attributeKey : string

    Returns

    void
  • registerInlineAttribute( attributeKey ) → void

    Registers given attribute key for tracking as an inline attribute (i.e. an attribute made on an inline element).

    Parameters

    attributeKey : string

    Returns

    void
  • inherited

    set( values ) → void

    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 that foo.set( 'bar', 1 ) may be slightly slower than foo.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
  • inherited

    set( name, value ) → void

    Creates and sets the value of an observable property of this object. Such a property becomes a part of the state and is observable.

    In TypeScript, those properties should be declared in class using declare keyword. In example:

    public declare myProp: number;
    
    constructor() {
    	this.set( 'myProp', 2 );
    }
    

    Type parameters

    K

    Parameters

    name : K

    The property's name.

    value : TrackChangesEditing[ K ]

    The property's value.
