WidgetTypeAround (widget)
@ckeditor/ckeditor5-widget/src/widgettypearound
A plugin that allows users to type around widgets where normally it is impossible to place the caret due to limitations of web browsers. These "tight spots" occur, for instance, before (or after) a widget being the first (or last) child of its parent or between two block widgets.
This plugin extends the Widget
plugin and injects the user interface
with two buttons into each widget instance in the editor. Each of the buttons can be clicked by the
user if the widget is next to the "tight spot". Once clicked, a paragraph is created with the selection anchored
in it so that users can type (or insert content, paste, etc.) straight away.

The editor instance.
Note that most editors implement the
EditorWithUI
interface in addition to the baseEditor
interface. However, editors with an external UI (i.e. Bootstrap-based) or a headless editor may not implement theEditorWithUI
interface.Because of above, to make plugins more universal, it is recommended to split features into:
- The "editing" part that only uses the
Editor
interface. - The "UI" part that uses both the
Editor
interface and theEditorWithUI
interface.

readonly inherited observable
isEnabled : Boolean
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#isEnabled
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. -
private
_currentFakeCaretModelElement : Element | null
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#_currentFakeCaretModelElement
A reference to the model widget element that has the fake caret active on either side of it. It is later used to remove CSS classes associated with the fake caret when the widget no longer needs it.
-
private inherited
_disableStack : Set.<String>
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#_disableStack
Holds identifiers for
forceDisabled
mechanism.
Static properties
-
readonly inherited static
isContextPlugin : Boolean
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround.isContextPlugin
A flag which defines if a plugin is allowed or not allowed to be used directly by a
Context
. -
readonly inherited static
pluginName : String | undefined
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround.pluginName
An optional name of the plugin. If set, the plugin will be available in
get
by its name and its constructor. If not, then only by its constructor.The name should reflect the constructor name.
To keep the plugin class definition tight, it is recommended to define this property as a static getter:
export default class ImageCaption { static get pluginName() { return 'ImageCaption'; } }
Note: The native
Function.name
property could not be used to keep the plugin name because it will be mangled during code minification.Naming a plugin is necessary to enable removing it through the
config.removePlugins
option. -
readonly inherited static
requires : Array.<Function> | undefined
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround.requires
An array of plugins required by this plugin.
To keep the plugin class definition tight it is recommended to define this property as a static getter:
import Image from './image.js'; export default class ImageCaption { static get requires() { return [ Image ]; } }
Methods
-
Creates a new plugin instance. This is the first step of the plugin initialization. See also
init
andafterInit
.A plugin is always instantiated after its dependencies and the
init
andafterInit
methods are called in the same order.Usually, you will want to put your plugin's initialization code in the
init
method. The constructor can be understood as "before init" and used in special cases, just likeafterInit
serves the special "after init" scenarios (e.g.the code which depends on other plugins, but which does not explicitly require them).Parameters
editor : Editor
-
The third (and last) stage of the plugin initialization. See also
constructor
andinit
.Note: This method is optional. A plugin instance does not need to have it defined.
Returns
null | Promise
-
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 : String
Observable properties that will be bound to other observable(s).
Returns
Object
The bind chain with the
to()
andtoMany()
methods.
-
inherited
clearForceDisabled( id )
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#clearForceDisabled
Clears forced disable previously set through
forceDisabled
. SeeforceDisabled
.Parameters
id : String
Unique identifier, equal to the one passed in
forceDisabled
call.
-
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 { constructor() { 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 : String
Name of the method to decorate.
-
mixed
delegate( events ) → EmitterMixinDelegateChain
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#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 : String
Event names that will be delegated to another emitter.
Returns
-
Destroys the plugin.
Note: This method is optional. A plugin instance does not need to have it defined.
Returns
null | Promise
-
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.Parameters
eventOrInfo : String | EventInfo
The name of the event or
EventInfo
object if event is delegated.[ args ] : *
Additional arguments to be passed to the callbacks.
Returns
*
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).
-
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.
-
The second stage (after plugin
constructor
) of the plugin initialization. Unlike the plugin constructor this method can be asynchronous.A plugin's
init()
method is called after its dependencies are initialized, so in the same order as the constructors of these plugins.Note: This method is optional. A plugin instance does not need to have it defined.
Returns
null | Promise
-
mixed
listenTo( emitter, event, callback, [ options ] = { [options.priority] } )
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#listenTo
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.Parameters
emitter : Emitter
The object that fires the event.
event : String
The name of the event.
callback : function
The function to be called on event.
[ options ] : Object
Additional options.
Properties[ options.priority ] : PriorityString | Number
The priority of this event callback. The higher the priority value the sooner the callback will be fired. Events having the same priority are called in the order they were added.
Defaults to
'normal'
Defaults to
{}
-
Stops executing the callback on the given event. Shorthand for
this.stopListening( this, event, callback )
.Parameters
event : String
The name of the event.
callback : function
The function to stop being called.
-
mixed
on( event, callback, [ options ] = { [options.priority] } )
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#on
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).Parameters
event : String
The name of the event.
callback : function
The function to be called on event.
[ options ] : Object
Additional options.
Properties[ options.priority ] : PriorityString | Number
The priority of this event callback. The higher the priority value the sooner the callback will be fired. Events having the same priority are called in the order they were added.
Defaults to
'normal'
Defaults to
{}
-
mixed
once( event, callback, [ options ] = { [options.priority] } )
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#once
Registers a callback function to be executed on the next time the event is fired only. This is similar to calling
on
followed byoff
in the callback.Parameters
event : String
The name of the event.
callback : function
The function to be called on event.
[ options ] : Object
Additional options.
Properties[ options.priority ] : PriorityString | Number
The priority of this event callback. The higher the priority value the sooner the callback will be fired. Events having the same priority are called in the order they were added.
Defaults to
'normal'
Defaults to
{}
-
Creates and sets the value of an observable property of this object. Such a property becomes a part of the state and is observable.
It accepts also 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
.Parameters
name : String | Object
The property's name or object with
name=>value
pairs.[ value ] : *
The property's value (if
name
was passed in the first parameter).

_insertParagraph( widgetModelElement, position )
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#_insertParagraph
Inserts a new paragraph next to a widget element with the selection anchored in it.
Note: This method is heavily user-oriented and will both focus the editing view and scroll the viewport to the selection in the inserted paragraph.
Parameters
widgetModelElement : Element
The model widget element next to which a paragraph is inserted.
position : 'before' | 'after'
The position where the paragraph is inserted. Either
'before'
or'after'
the widget.
-
protected mixed
_removeEventListener( event, callback )
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#_removeEventListener
Removes callback from emitter for given event.
Parameters
event : String
The name of the event.
callback : function
The function to stop being called.
-
private
_enableDeleteContentIntegration()
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#_enableDeleteContentIntegration
Attaches the event-deleteContent event listener to block the event when the fake caret is active.
This is required for cases that trigger
model.deleteContent()
before callingmodel.insertContent()
like, for instance, plain text pasting. -
private
_enableDeleteIntegration()
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#_enableDeleteIntegration
It creates a "delete" event listener on the view document to handle cases when the Delete or Backspace is pressed and the fake caret is currently active.
The fake caret should create an illusion of a real browser caret so that when it appears before or after a widget, pressing Delete or Backspace should remove a widget or delete the content before or after a widget (depending on the content surrounding the widget).
-
private
_enableInsertContentIntegration()
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#_enableInsertContentIntegration
Attaches the event-insertContent event listener that, for instance, allows the user to paste content near a widget when the fake caret is first activated using the arrow keys.
The content is inserted according to the
widget-type-around
selection attribute (see_handleArrowKeyPress
). -
private
_enableInsertObjectIntegration()
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#_enableInsertObjectIntegration
Attaches the event-insertObject event listener that modifies the
options.findOptimalPosition
parameter to position of fake caret in relation to selected element to reflect user's intent of desired insertion position.The object is inserted according to the
widget-type-around
selection attribute (see_handleArrowKeyPress
). -
private
_enableInsertingParagraphsOnButtonClick()
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#_enableInsertingParagraphsOnButtonClick
Registers a
mousedown
listener for the view document which intercepts events coming from the widget type around UI, which happens when a user clicks one of the buttons that insert a paragraph next to a widget. -
private
_enableInsertingParagraphsOnEnterKeypress()
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#_enableInsertingParagraphsOnEnterKeypress
Creates the Enter key listener on the view document that allows the user to insert a paragraph near the widget when either:
- The fake caret was first activated using the arrow keys,
- The entire widget is selected in the model.
In the first case, the new paragraph is inserted according to the
widget-type-around
selection attribute (see_handleArrowKeyPress
).In the second case, the new paragraph is inserted based on whether a soft (Shift+Enter) keystroke was pressed or not.
-
private
_enableInsertingParagraphsOnTypingKeystroke()
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#_enableInsertingParagraphsOnTypingKeystroke
Similar to the
_enableInsertingParagraphsOnEnterKeypress
, it allows the user to insert a paragraph next to a widget when the fake caret was activated using arrow keys but it responds to typing instead of Enter.Listener enabled by this method will insert a new paragraph according to the
widget-type-around
model selection attribute as the user simply starts typing, which creates the impression that the fake caret behaves like a real one rendered by the browser (AKA your text appears where the caret was).Note: At the moment this listener creates 2 undo steps: one for the
insertParagraph
command and another one for actual typing. It is not a disaster but this may need to be fixed sooner or later. -
private
_enableTypeAroundFakeCaretActivationUsingKeyboardArrows()
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#_enableTypeAroundFakeCaretActivationUsingKeyboardArrows
Brings support for the fake caret that appears when either:
- the selection moves to a widget from a position next to it using arrow keys,
- the arrow key is pressed when the widget is already selected.
The fake caret lets the user know that they can start typing or just press Enter to insert a paragraph at the position next to a widget as suggested by the fake caret.
The fake caret disappears when the user changes the selection or the editor gets blurred.
The whole idea is as follows:
- A user does one of the 2 scenarios described at the beginning.
- The "keydown" listener is executed and the decision is made whether to show or hide the fake caret.
- If it should show up, the
widget-type-around
model selection attribute is set indicating on which side of the widget it should appear. - The selection dispatcher reacts to the selection attribute and sets CSS classes responsible for the fake caret on the view widget.
- If the fake caret should disappear, the selection attribute is removed and the dispatcher does the CSS class clean-up in the view.
- Additionally,
change:range
andFocusTracker#isFocused
listeners also remove the selection attribute (the former also removes widget CSS classes).
-
private
_enableTypeAroundUIInjection()
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#_enableTypeAroundUIInjection
Creates a listener in the editing conversion pipeline that injects the widget type around UI into every single widget instance created in the editor.
The UI is delivered as a
UIElement
wrapper which renders DOM buttons that users can use to insert paragraphs. -
A listener executed on each "keydown" in the view document, a part of
_enableTypeAroundFakeCaretActivationUsingKeyboardArrows
.It decides whether the arrow keypress should activate the fake caret or not (also whether it should be deactivated).
The fake caret activation is done by setting the
widget-type-around
model selection attribute in this listener, and stopping and preventing the event that would normally be handled by the widget plugin that is responsible for the regular keyboard navigation near/across all widgets (that includes inline widgets, which are ignored by the widget type around plugin). -
private
_handleArrowKeyPressOnSelectedWidget( isForward ) → Boolean
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#_handleArrowKeyPressOnSelectedWidget
Handles the keyboard navigation on "keydown" when a widget is currently selected and activates or deactivates the fake caret for that widget, depending on the current value of the
widget-type-around
model selection attribute and the direction of the pressed arrow key.Parameters
isForward : Boolean
true
when the pressed arrow key was responsible for the forward model selection movement as inisForwardArrowKeyCode
.
Returns
Boolean
Returns
true
when the keypress was handled and no other keydown listener of the editor should process the event any further. Returnsfalse
otherwise.
-
private
_handleArrowKeyPressWhenNonCollapsedSelection( isForward ) → Boolean
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#_handleArrowKeyPressWhenNonCollapsedSelection
Handles the keyboard navigation on "keydown" when a widget is currently selected (together with some other content) and the widget is the first or last element in the selection. It activates or deactivates the fake caret for that widget.
Parameters
isForward : Boolean
true
when the pressed arrow key was responsible for the forward model selection movement as inisForwardArrowKeyCode
.
Returns
Boolean
Returns
true
when the keypress was handled and no other keydown listener of the editor should process the event any further. Returnsfalse
otherwise.
-
private
_handleArrowKeyPressWhenSelectionNextToAWidget( isForward ) → Boolean
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#_handleArrowKeyPressWhenSelectionNextToAWidget
Handles the keyboard navigation on "keydown" when no widget is selected but the selection is directly next to one and upon the fake caret should become active for this widget upon arrow keypress (AKA entering/selecting the widget).
Note: This code mirrors the implementation from the widget plugin but also adds the selection attribute. Unfortunately, there is no safe way to let the widget plugin do the selection part first and then just set the selection attribute here in the widget type around plugin. This is why this code must duplicate some from the widget plugin.
Parameters
isForward : Boolean
true
when the pressed arrow key was responsible for the forward model selection movement as inisForwardArrowKeyCode
.
Returns
Boolean
Returns
true
when the keypress was handled and no other keydown listener of the editor should process the event any further. Returnsfalse
otherwise.
-
private
_insertParagraphAccordingToFakeCaretPosition() → Boolean
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#_insertParagraphAccordingToFakeCaretPosition
Similar to
_insertParagraph
, this method inserts a paragraph except that it does not expect a position. Instead, it performs the insertion next to a selected widget according to thewidget-type-around
model selection attribute value (fake caret position).Because this method requires the
widget-type-around
attribute to be set, the insertion can only happen when the widget's fake caret is active (e.g. activated using the keyboard).Returns
Boolean
Returns
true
when the paragraph was inserted (the attribute was present) andfalse
otherwise.
-
private
_listenToIfEnabled( emitter, event, callback, [ options ] = { [options.priority] } )
module:widget/widgettypearound~WidgetTypeAround#_listenToIfEnabled

event : String
The name of the event.
callback : function
The function to be called on event.
[ options ] : Object
Additional options.
Properties[ options.priority ] : PriorityString | Number
The priority of this event callback. The higher the priority value the sooner the callback will be fired. Events having the same priority are called in the order they were added.
Defaults to
'normal'
Defaults to
{}
