    bind( bindProperties ) → MultiBindChain

    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 );
    

    Parameters

    bindProperties : Array<'off' | 'on' | 'once' | 'listenTo' | 'stopListening' | 'fire' | 'delegate' | 'stopDelegating' | 'set' | 'bind' | 'unbind' | 'decorate' | 'isFocused' | 'destroy' | 'selection' | 'isReadOnly' | 'roots' | 'stylesProcessor' | 'isSelecting' | 'isComposing' | 'getRoot' | 'registerPostFixer' | '_callPostFixers'>

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

    Returns

    MultiBindChain

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

  • 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' | 'isFocused' | 'destroy' | 'selection' | 'isReadOnly' | 'roots' | 'stylesProcessor' | 'isSelecting' | 'isComposing' | 'getRoot' | 'registerPostFixer' | '_callPostFixers'

    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
  • destroy() → void

    Destroys this instance. Makes sure that all observers are destroyed and listeners removed.

    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).

  • getRoot( name ) → null | RootEditableElement

    Gets a view root element with the specified name. If the name is not specific "main" root is returned.

    Parameters

    name : string

    Name of the root.

    Defaults to 'main'

    Returns

    null | RootEditableElement

    The view root element with the specified name or null when there is no root of given name.

  • 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 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).

  • registerPostFixer( postFixer ) → void

    Allows registering post-fixer callbacks. A post-fixers mechanism allows to update the view tree just before it is rendered to the DOM.

    Post-fixers are executed right after all changes from the outermost change block were applied but before the render event is fired. If a post-fixer callback made a change, it should return true. When this happens, all post-fixers are fired again to check if something else should not be fixed in the new document tree state.

    View post-fixers are useful when you want to apply some fixes whenever the view structure changes. Keep in mind that changes executed in a view post-fixer should not break model-view mapping.

    The types of changes which should be safe:

    Try to avoid changes which touch view structure:

    • you should not add or remove nor wrap or unwrap any view elements,
    • you should not change the editor data model in a view post-fixer.

    As a parameter, a post-fixer callback receives a downcast writer.

    Typically, a post-fixer will look like this:

    editor.editing.view.document.registerPostFixer( writer => {
    	if ( checkSomeCondition() ) {
    		writer.doSomething();
    
    		// Let other post-fixers know that something changed.
    		return true;
    	}
    
    	return false;
    } );
    

    Note that nothing happens right after you register a post-fixer (e.g. execute such a code in the console). That is because adding a post-fixer does not execute it. The post-fixer will be executed as soon as any change in the document needs to cause its rendering. If you want to re-render the editor's view after registering the post-fixer then you should do it manually by calling view.forceRender().

    If you need to register a callback which is executed when DOM elements are already updated, use render event.

    Parameters

    postFixer : ViewDocumentPostFixer

    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

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

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