_editableElements : unknown

See source
Stores all editable elements used by the editor instance.
readonly
ariaLiveAnnouncer : AriaLiveAnnouncer

See source
A helper that manages the content of an aria-live regions used by editor features to announce status changes to screen readers.
readonly
componentFactory : ComponentFactory

See source
An instance of the ComponentFactory, a registry used by plugins to register factories of specific UI components.
readonly
editor : Editor

See source
The editor that the UI belongs to.
readonly
element : null | HTMLElement

See source
The main (outermost) DOM element of the editor UI.

For example, in ClassicEditor it is a <div> which wraps the editable element and the toolbar. In InlineEditor it is the editable element itself (as there is no other wrapper). However, in DecoupledEditor it is set to null because this editor does not come with a single "main" HTML element (its editable element and toolbar are separate).

This property can be understood as a shorthand for retrieving the element that a specific editor integration considers to be its main DOM element.
readonly
focusTracker : FocusTracker

See source
Stores the information about the editor UI focus and propagates it so various plugins and components are unified as a focus group.
isReady : boolean

See source
Indicates the UI is ready. Set true after event-ready event is fired.

Defaults to false
readonly
poweredBy : PoweredBy

See source
A helper that enables the "powered by" feature in the editor and renders a link to the project's webpage.
readonly
tooltipManager : TooltipManager

See source
Manages the tooltips displayed on mouseover and focus across the UI.
readonly
view : EditorUIView

See source
observable
viewportOffset : object
See source
Stores viewport offsets from every direction.

Viewport offset can be used to constrain balloons or other UI elements into an element smaller than the viewport. This can be useful if there are any other absolutely positioned elements that may interfere with editor UI.

Example editor.ui.viewportOffset returns:
```
{
	top: 50,
	right: 50,
	bottom: 50,
	left: 50
}
```
This property can be overriden after editor already being initialized:
```
editor.ui.viewportOffset = {
	top: 100,
	right: 0,
	bottom: 0,
	left: 0
};
```
private
_editableElementsMap : Map<string, HTMLElement>

See source
Stores all editable elements used by the editor instance.
private
_focusableToolbarDefinitions : Array<FocusableToolbarDefinition>

See source
All available & focusable toolbars.

Methods

constructor( editor )

See source
Creates an instance of the editor UI class.

Parameters

editor : Editor

The editor instance.
addToolbar( toolbarView, options ) → void

See source
Adds a toolbar to the editor UI. Used primarily to maintain the accessibility of the UI.

Focusable toolbars can be accessed (focused) by users by pressing the Alt + F10 keystroke. Successive keystroke presses navigate over available toolbars.

Parameters

toolbarView : ToolbarView

A instance of the toolbar to be registered.

options : FocusableToolbarOptions

Defaults to {}

Returns

bind( bindProperty1, bindProperty2 ) → DualBindChain<K1, EditorUI[ K1 ], K2, EditorUI[ K2 ]>
See source
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 );
```

inherited
decorate( methodName ) → void
See source
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' | 'element' | 'view' | 'viewportOffset' | 'destroy' | 'update' | 'focusTracker' | 'editor' | 'poweredBy' | 'componentFactory' | 'tooltipManager' | 'ariaLiveAnnouncer' | 'isReady' | 'setEditableElement' | 'removeEditableElement' | 'getEditableElement' | 'getEditableElementsNames' | 'addToolbar'

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
destroy() → void

See source
Destroys the UI.

Returns

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

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).
getEditableElement( rootName ) → undefined | HTMLElement

See source
Returns the editable editor element with the given name or null if editable does not exist.

Parameters

rootName : string

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) 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.

Returns

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

See source
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).

Type parameters

TEvent : extends BaseEvent

The type descibing the event. See BaseEvent.

Parameters

Removes the editable from the editor UI. Removes all handlers added by setEditableElement.

Parameters

rootName : string

The name of the editable element to remove.

Returns

void
inherited
set( values ) → void
See source
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

Returns

void
setEditableElement( rootName, domElement ) → void

See source
Stores the native DOM editable element used by the editor under a unique name.

rootName : string

The unique name of the editable element.

domElement : HTMLElement

The native DOM editable element.

Returns

void
inherited

unbind( unbindProperties ) → void
See source
Removes the binding created with bind.
```
// Removes the binding for the 'a' property.
A.unbind( 'a' );

// Removes bindings for all properties.
A.unbind();
```
Parameters

unbindProperties : Array<'off' | 'on' | 'once' | 'listenTo' | 'stopListening' | 'fire' | 'delegate' | 'stopDelegating' | 'set' | 'bind' | 'unbind' | 'decorate' | 'element' | 'view' | 'viewportOffset' | 'destroy' | 'update' | 'focusTracker' | 'editor' | 'poweredBy' | 'componentFactory' | 'tooltipManager' | 'ariaLiveAnnouncer' | 'isReady' | 'setEditableElement' | 'removeEditableElement' | 'getEditableElement' | 'getEditableElementsNames' | 'addToolbar'>

Returns

void
update() → void

See source
Fires the update event.

This method should be called when the editor UI (e.g. positions of its balloons) needs to be updated due to some environmental change which CKEditor 5 is not aware of (e.g. resize of a container in which it is used).

Returns

void
private
_focusFocusableCandidateToolbar( candidateToolbarDefinition ) → boolean

See source
Focuses a focusable toolbar candidate using its definition.

Parameters

candidateToolbarDefinition : FocusableToolbarDefinition

A definition of the toolbar to focus.

Returns

boolean

true when the toolbar candidate was focused. false otherwise.
private
_getCurrentFocusedToolbarDefinition() → null | FocusableToolbarDefinition

See source
Returns a definition of the toolbar that is currently visible and focused (one of its children has focus).

null is returned when no toolbar is currently focused.

Returns

null | FocusableToolbarDefinition
private
_getFocusableCandidateToolbarDefinitions() → Array<FocusableToolbarDefinition>
See source
Returns definitions of toolbars that could potentially be focused, sorted by their importance for the user.

Focusable toolbars candidates are either:
- already visible,
- have beforeFocus() set in their definition that suggests that they might show up when called. Keep in mind that determining whether a toolbar will show up (and become focusable) is impossible at this stage because it depends on its implementation, that in turn depends on the editing context (selection).
Note: Contextual toolbars take precedence over regular toolbars.

Returns

Array<FocusableToolbarDefinition>
private
_handleScrollToTheSelection( evt, data ) → void

See source
Provides an integration between viewportOffset and scrollViewportToShowTarget. It allows the UI-agnostic engine method to consider user-configured viewport offsets specific for the integration.

data : ViewScrollToTheSelectionEventData

The payload carried by the scrollToTheSelection event.

Returns

void
