    Constructors

    • Returns Model

    Properties

    document: ModelDocument

    Model's document.

    Model's marker collection.

    schema: ModelSchema

    Model's schema.

    Methods

    • module:utils/observablemixin~Observable#decorate Decorated function for applying module:engine/model/operation/operation~Operation operations to the model.

      This is a low-level way of changing the model. It is exposed for very specific use cases (like the undo feature). Normally, to modify the model, you will want to use module:engine/model/writer~ModelWriter Writer. See also {@glink framework/architecture/editing-engine#changing-the-model Changing the model} section of the {@glink framework/architecture/editing-engine Editing architecture} guide.

      Parameters

      Returns void

    • Binds #set observable properties to other objects implementing the module:utils/observablemixin~Observable interface.

      Read more in the {@glink framework/deep-dive/observables#property-bindings 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 module:utils/observablemixin~Observable#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 );

      DUAL_BIND

    • Binds #set observable properties to other objects implementing the module:utils/observablemixin~Observable interface.

      Read more in the {@glink framework/deep-dive/observables#property-bindings 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 module:utils/observablemixin~Observable#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',

      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 );

        )[]

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

      Returns ObservableMultiBindChain

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

      MANY_BIND

    • Check whether given selectable is at a place in the model where it can be edited (returns true) or not (returns false).

      Should be used instead of module:core/editor/editor~Editor#isReadOnly to check whether a user action can happen at given selectable. It may be decorated and used differently in different environment (e.g. multi-root editor can disable a particular root).

      This method is decorated. Although this method accepts any parameter of Selectable type, the ~Model#event:canEditAt canEditAt event is fired with selectable normalized to an instance of module:engine/model/selection~ModelSelection or module:engine/model/documentselection~ModelDocumentSelection

      Parameters

      Returns boolean

      canEditAt

    • The change() method is the primary way of changing the model. You should use it to modify all document nodes (including detached nodes – i.e. nodes not added to the module:engine/model/model~Model#document model document), the module:engine/model/document~ModelDocument#selection document's selection, and module:engine/model/model~Model#markers model markers.

      model.change( writer => {
      writer.insertText( 'foo', paragraph, 'end' );
      } );

      All changes inside the change block use the same module:engine/model/batch~Batch so they are combined into a single undo step.

      model.change( writer => {
      writer.insertText( 'foo', paragraph, 'end' ); // foo.

      model.change( writer => {
      writer.insertText( 'bar', paragraph, 'end' ); // foobar.
      } );

      writer.insertText( 'bom', paragraph, 'end' ); // foobarbom.
      } );

      The callback of the change() block is executed synchronously.

      You can also return a value from the change block.

      const img = model.change( writer => {
      return writer.createElement( 'img' );
      } );

      Type Parameters

      • TReturn

        The return type of the provided callback.

      Parameters

      Returns TReturn

      #enqueueChange

    • Creates a module:engine/model/batch~Batch instance.

      Note: In most cases creating a batch instance is not necessary as they are created when using:

      • #change change(),
      • #enqueueChange enqueueChange().

      Parameters

      • Optionaltype: BatchType

        module:engine/model/batch~Batch#constructor The type of the batch.

      Returns Batch

    • Creates an operation instance from a JSON object (parsed JSON string).

      This is an alias for module:engine/model/operation/operationfactory~OperationFactory.fromJSON OperationFactory.fromJSON().

      Parameters

      • json: unknown

        Deserialized JSON object.

      Returns Operation

    • Creates a new position after the given module:engine/model/item~ModelItem model item.

      Note: This method is also available as module:engine/model/writer~ModelWriter#createPositionAfter Writer#createPositionAfter().

      Parameters

      • item: ModelItem

        Item after which the position should be placed.

      Returns ModelPosition

    • Creates position at the given location. The location can be specified as:

      • a module:engine/model/position~ModelPosition position,
      • a parent element and offset in that element,
      • a parent element and 'end' (the position will be set at the end of that element),
      • a module:engine/model/item~ModelItem model item and 'before' or 'after' (the position will be set before or after the given model item).

      This method is a shortcut to other factory methods such as:

      • module:engine/model/model~Model#createPositionBefore createPositionBefore(),
      • module:engine/model/model~Model#createPositionAfter createPositionAfter().

      Note: This method is also available as module:engine/model/writer~ModelWriter#createPositionAt Writer#createPositionAt(),

      Parameters

      Returns ModelPosition

    • Creates a new position before the given module:engine/model/item~ModelItem model item.

      Note: This method is also available as module:engine/model/writer~ModelWriter#createPositionBefore Writer#createPositionBefore().

      Parameters

      • item: ModelItem

        Item before which the position should be placed.

      Returns ModelPosition

    • Creates a position from the given root and path in that root.

      Note: This method is also available as module:engine/model/writer~ModelWriter#createPositionFromPath Writer#createPositionFromPath().

      Parameters

      Returns ModelPosition

    • Creates a range spanning from the start position to the end position.

      Note: This method is also available as module:engine/model/writer~ModelWriter#createRange Writer#createRange():

      model.change( writer => {
      const range = writer.createRange( start, end );
      } );

      Parameters

      • start: ModelPosition

        Start position.

      • Optionalend: ModelPosition

        End position. If not set, the range will be collapsed to the start position.

      Returns ModelRange

    • Creates a range inside the given element which starts before the first child of that element and ends after the last child of that element.

      Note: This method is also available as module:engine/model/writer~ModelWriter#createRangeIn Writer#createRangeIn():

      model.change( writer => {
      const range = writer.createRangeIn( paragraph );
      } );

      Parameters

      Returns ModelRange

    • Creates a range that starts before the given module:engine/model/item~ModelItem model item and ends after it.

      Note: This method is also available on writer instance as module:engine/model/writer~ModelWriter#createRangeOn Writer.createRangeOn():

      model.change( writer => {
      const range = writer.createRangeOn( paragraph );
      } );

      Parameters

      Returns ModelRange

    • Creates a new selection instance based on the given module:engine/model/selection~ModelSelectable selectable or creates an empty selection if no arguments were passed.

      Note: This method is also available as module:engine/model/writer~ModelWriter#createSelection Writer#createSelection().

      // Creates selection at the given offset in the given element.
      const paragraph = writer.createElement( 'paragraph' );
      const selection = writer.createSelection( paragraph, offset );

      // Creates a range inside an {@link module:engine/model/element~ModelElement element} which starts before the
      // first child of that element and ends after the last child of that element.
      const selection = writer.createSelection( paragraph, 'in' );

      // Creates a range on an {@link module:engine/model/item~ModelItem item} which starts before the item and ends
      // just after the item.
      const selection = writer.createSelection( paragraph, 'on' );

      // Additional options (`'backward'`) can be specified as the last argument.

      // Creates backward selection.
      const selection = writer.createSelection( element, 'in', { backward: true } );

      See also: #createSelection:SELECTABLE createSelection( selectable, options ).

      Parameters

      Returns ModelSelection

      NODE_OFFSET

    • Creates a new selection instance based on the given module:engine/model/selection~ModelSelectable selectable or creates an empty selection if no arguments were passed.

      Note: This method is also available as module:engine/model/writer~ModelWriter#createSelection Writer#createSelection().

      // Creates empty selection without ranges.
      const selection = writer.createSelection();

      // Creates selection at the given range.

      const selection = writer.createSelection( range );

      // Creates selection at the given ranges
      const ranges = [ writer.createRange( start1, end2 ), writer.createRange( star2, end2 ) ];
      const selection = writer.createSelection( ranges );

      // Creates selection from the other selection.
      // Note: It doesn't copies selection attributes.
      const otherSelection = writer.createSelection();
      const selection = writer.createSelection( otherSelection );

      // Creates selection from the given document selection.
      // Note: It doesn't copies selection attributes.
      const documentSelection = model.document.selection;
      const selection = writer.createSelection( documentSelection );

      // Creates selection at the given position.
      const position = writer.createPositionFromPath( root, path );
      const selection = writer.createSelection( position );

      // Additional options (`'backward'`) can be specified as the last argument.

      // Creates backward selection.
      const selection = writer.createSelection( range, { backward: true } );

      See also: #createSelection:NODE_OFFSET createSelection( node, placeOrOffset, options ).

      Parameters

      Returns ModelSelection

      SELECTABLE

    • 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 {@glink framework/deep-dive/observables#decorating-object-methods 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 module:utils/eventinfo~EventInfo#stop 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 module:utils/priorities~PriorityString 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'

      args[ 0 ] = 3;

      console.log( args[ 1 ] ); // -> 2
      }, { priority: 'high' } );

      foo.method( 1, 2 ); // -> '3, 2'

    • Delegates selected events to another module:utils/emittermixin~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: string[]

        Event names that will be delegated to another emitter.

      Returns EmitterMixinDelegateChain

    • Deletes content of the selection and merge siblings. The resulting selection is always collapsed.

      Note: For the sake of predictability, the resulting selection should always be collapsed. In cases where a feature wants to modify deleting behavior so selection isn't collapsed (e.g. a table feature may want to keep row selection after pressing Backspace), then that behavior should be implemented in the view's listener. At the same time, the table feature will need to modify this method's behavior too, e.g. to "delete contents and then collapse the selection inside the last selected cell" or "delete the row and collapse selection somewhere near". That needs to be done in order to ensure that other features which use deleteContent() will work well with tables.

      Parameters

      • selection: ModelSelection | ModelDocumentSelection

        Selection of which the content should be deleted.

      • Optionaloptions: {
            direction?: "forward" | "backward";
            doNotAutoparagraph?: boolean;
            doNotResetEntireContent?: boolean;
            leaveUnmerged?: boolean;
            [i: string]: unknown;
        }
        • [i: string]: unknown
        • Optionaldirection?: "forward" | "backward"

          The direction in which the content is being consumed. Deleting backward corresponds to using the Backspace key, while deleting content forward corresponds to the Shift+Backspace keystroke.

        • OptionaldoNotAutoparagraph?: boolean

          Whether to create a paragraph if after content deletion selection is moved to a place where text cannot be inserted.

          For example <paragraph>x</paragraph>[<imageBlock src="foo.jpg"></imageBlock>] will become:

          • <paragraph>x</paragraph><paragraph>[]</paragraph> with the option disabled (doNotAutoparagraph == false)
          • <paragraph>x[]</paragraph> with the option enabled (doNotAutoparagraph == true).

          Note: if there is no valid position for the selection, the paragraph will always be created:

          [<imageBlock src="foo.jpg"></imageBlock>] -> <paragraph>[]</paragraph>.

        • OptionaldoNotResetEntireContent?: boolean

          Whether to skip replacing the entire content with a paragraph when the entire content was selected.

          For example <heading1>[x</heading1><paragraph>y]</paragraph> will become:

          • <paragraph>^</paragraph> with the option disabled (doNotResetEntireContent == false)
          • <heading1>^</heading1> with enabled (doNotResetEntireContent == true)
        • OptionalleaveUnmerged?: boolean

          Whether to merge elements after removing the content of the selection.

          For example <heading1>x[x</heading1><paragraph>y]y</paragraph> will become:

          • <heading1>x^y</heading1> with the option disabled (leaveUnmerged == false)
          • <heading1>x^</heading1><paragraph>y</paragraph> with enabled (leaveUnmerged == true).

          Note: module:engine/model/schema~ModelSchema#isObject object and module:engine/model/schema~ModelSchema#isLimit limit elements will not be merged.

      Returns void

      deleteContent

    • Removes all events listeners set by model instance and destroys module:engine/model/document~ModelDocument.

      Returns void

    • The enqueueChange() method performs similar task as the #change change() method, with two major differences.

      First, the callback of enqueueChange() is executed when all other enqueued changes are done. It might be executed immediately if it is not nested in any other change block, but if it is nested in another (enqueue)change block, it will be delayed and executed after the outermost block.

      model.change( writer => {
      console.log( 1 );

      model.enqueueChange( writer => {
      console.log( 2 );
      } );

      console.log( 3 );
      } ); // Will log: 1, 3, 2.

      In addition to that, the changes enqueued with enqueueChange() will be converted separately from the changes done in the outer change() block.

      By default, a new batch with the default module:engine/model/batch~Batch#constructor batch type is created. To define the module:engine/model/batch~Batch into which you want to add your changes, use #enqueueChange:CUSTOM_BATCH enqueueChange( batchOrType, callback ).

      Parameters

      • callback: (writer: ModelWriter) => unknown

        Callback function which may modify the model.

      Returns void

      DEFAULT_BATCH

    • The enqueueChange() method performs similar task as the #change change() method, with two major differences.

      First, the callback of enqueueChange() is executed when all other enqueued changes are done. It might be executed immediately if it is not nested in any other change block, but if it is nested in another (enqueue)change block, it will be delayed and executed after the outermost block.

      model.change( new Batch(), writer => {
      console.log( 1 );

      model.enqueueChange( new Batch(), writer => {
      console.log( 2 );
      } );

      console.log( 3 );
      } ); // Will log: 1, 3, 2.

      In addition to that, the changes enqueued with enqueueChange() will be converted separately from the changes done in the outer change() block.

      Second, it lets you define the module:engine/model/batch~Batch into which you want to add your changes. If you want to use default module:engine/model/batch~Batch#constructor batch type, use #enqueueChange:DEFAULT_BATCH enqueueChange( callback ).

      model.enqueueChange( { isUndoable: false }, writer => {
      writer.insertText( 'foo', paragraph, 'end' );
      } );

      When using the enqueueChange() block you can also add some changes to the batch you used before.

      model.enqueueChange( batch, writer => {
      writer.insertText( 'foo', paragraph, 'end' );
      } );

      In order to make a nested enqueueChange() create a single undo step together with the changes done in the outer change() block, you can obtain the batch instance from the module:engine/model/writer~ModelWriter#batch writer of the outer block.

      Parameters

      • batchOrType: BatchType | Batch

        A batch or a module:engine/model/batch~Batch#constructor batch type that should be used in the callback. If not defined, a new batch with the default type will be created.

      • callback: (writer: ModelWriter) => unknown

        Callback function which may modify the model.

      Returns void

      CUSTOM_BATCH

    • Fires an event, executing all callbacks registered for it.

      The first parameter passed to callbacks is an module:utils/eventinfo~EventInfo object, followed by the optional args provided in the fire() method call.

      Type Parameters

      • TEvent extends BaseEvent

        The type describing the event. See module:utils/emittermixin~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 module:utils/eventinfo~EventInfo#return evt.return's property (the event info is the first param of every callback).

    • Gets a clone of the selected content.

      For example, for the following selection:

      <paragraph>x</paragraph>
      <blockQuote>
      <paragraph>y</paragraph>
      <heading1>fir[st</heading1>
      </blockQuote>
      <paragraph>se]cond</paragraph>
      <paragraph>z</paragraph>

      It will return a document fragment with such a content:

      <blockQuote>
      <heading1>st</heading1>
      </blockQuote>
      <paragraph>se</paragraph>

      Parameters

      Returns ModelDocumentFragment

      getSelectedContent

    • Checks whether the given module:engine/model/range~ModelRange range or module:engine/model/element~ModelElement element has any meaningful content.

      Meaningful content is:

      • any text node (options.ignoreWhitespaces allows controlling whether this text node must also contain any non-whitespace characters),
      • or any module:engine/model/schema~ModelSchema#isContent content element,
      • or any module:engine/model/markercollection~Marker marker which module:engine/model/markercollection~Marker#_affectsData affects data.

      This means that a range containing an empty <paragraph></paragraph> is not considered to have a meaningful content. However, a range containing an <imageBlock></imageBlock> (which would normally be marked in the schema as an object element) is considered non-empty.

      Parameters

      • rangeOrElement: ModelElement | ModelDocumentFragment | ModelRange

        Range or element to check.

      • Optionaloptions: { ignoreMarkers?: boolean; ignoreWhitespaces?: boolean }
        • OptionalignoreMarkers?: boolean

          Whether markers should be ignored.

        • OptionalignoreWhitespaces?: boolean

          Whether text node with whitespaces only should be considered empty.

      Returns boolean

    • Inserts content at the position in the editor specified by the selection, as one would expect the paste functionality to work.

      Note: If you want to insert an {@glink framework/deep-dive/schema#object-elements object element} (e.g. a module:widget/utils~toWidget widget), see #insertObject instead.

      This is a high-level method. It takes the #schema schema into consideration when inserting the content, clears the given selection's content before inserting nodes and moves the selection to its target position at the end of the process. It can split elements, merge them, wrap bare text nodes with paragraphs, etc. – just like the pasting feature should do.

      For lower-level methods see module:engine/model/writer~ModelWriter Writer.

      This method, unlike module:engine/model/writer~ModelWriter Writer's methods, does not have to be used inside a #change change() block.

      Conversion and schema

      Inserting elements and text nodes into the model is not enough to make CKEditor 5 render that content to the user. CKEditor 5 implements a model-view-controller architecture and what model.insertContent() does is only adding nodes to the model. Additionally, you need to define {@glink framework/architecture/editing-engine#conversion converters} between the model and view and define those nodes in the {@glink framework/architecture/editing-engine#schema schema}.

      So, while this method may seem similar to CKEditor 4 editor.insertHtml() (in fact, both methods are used for paste-like content insertion), the CKEditor 5 method cannot be use to insert arbitrary HTML unless converters are defined for all elements and attributes in that HTML.

      Examples

      Using insertContent() with a manually created model structure:

      // Let's create a document fragment containing such content as:
      //
      // <paragraph>foo</paragraph>
      // <blockQuote>
      // <paragraph>bar</paragraph>
      // </blockQuote>
      const docFrag = editor.model.change( writer => {
      const p1 = writer.createElement( 'paragraph' );
      const p2 = writer.createElement( 'paragraph' );
      const blockQuote = writer.createElement( 'blockQuote' );
      const docFrag = writer.createDocumentFragment();

      writer.append( p1, docFrag );
      writer.append( blockQuote, docFrag );
      writer.append( p2, blockQuote );
      writer.insertText( 'foo', p1 );
      writer.insertText( 'bar', p2 );

      return docFrag;
      } );

      // insertContent() does not have to be used in a change() block. It can, though,
      // so this code could be moved to the callback defined above.
      editor.model.insertContent( docFrag );

      Using insertContent() with an HTML string converted to a model document fragment (similar to the pasting mechanism):

      // You can create your own HtmlDataProcessor instance or use editor.data.processor
      // if you have not overridden the default one (which is the HtmlDataProcessor instance).
      const htmlDP = new HtmlDataProcessor( viewDocument );

      // Convert an HTML string to a view document fragment:
      const viewFragment = htmlDP.toView( htmlString );

      // Convert the view document fragment to a model document fragment
      // in the context of $root. This conversion takes the schema into
      // account so if, for example, the view document fragment contained a bare text node,
      // this text node cannot be a child of $root, so it will be automatically
      // wrapped with a <paragraph>. You can define the context yourself (in the second parameter),
      // and e.g. convert the content like it would happen in a <paragraph>.
      // Note: The clipboard feature uses a custom context called $clipboardHolder
      // which has a loosened schema.
      const modelFragment = editor.data.toModel( viewFragment );

      editor.model.insertContent( modelFragment );

      By default this method will use the document selection but it can also be used with a position, range or selection instance.

      // Insert text at the current document selection position.
      editor.model.change( writer => {
      editor.model.insertContent( writer.createText( 'x' ) );
      } );

      // Insert text at a given position - the document selection will not be modified.
      editor.model.change( writer => {
      editor.model.insertContent( writer.createText( 'x' ), doc.getRoot(), 2 );

      // Which is a shorthand for:
      editor.model.insertContent( writer.createText( 'x' ), writer.createPositionAt( doc.getRoot(), 2 ) );
      } );

      If you want the document selection to be moved to the inserted content, use the module:engine/model/writer~ModelWriter#setSelection setSelection() method of the writer after inserting the content:

      editor.model.change( writer => {
      const paragraph = writer.createElement( 'paragraph' );

      // Insert an empty paragraph at the beginning of the root.
      editor.model.insertContent( paragraph, writer.createPositionAt( editor.model.document.getRoot(), 0 ) );

      // Move the document selection to the inserted paragraph.
      writer.setSelection( paragraph, 'in' );
      } );

      If an instance of the module:engine/model/selection~ModelSelection model selection is passed as selectable, the new content will be inserted at the passed selection (instead of document selection):

      editor.model.change( writer => {
      // Create a selection in a paragraph that will be used as a place of insertion.
      const selection = writer.createSelection( paragraph, 'in' );

      // Insert the new text at the created selection.
      editor.model.insertContent( writer.createText( 'x' ), selection );

      // insertContent() modifies the passed selection instance so it can be used to set the document selection.
      // Note: This is not necessary when you passed the document selection to insertContent().
      writer.setSelection( selection );
      } );

      Parameters

      • content: ModelDocumentFragment | ModelItem

        The content to insert.

      • Optionalselectable: ModelSelectable

        The selection into which the content should be inserted. If not provided the current model document selection will be used.

      • OptionalplaceOrOffset: ModelPlaceOrOffset

        To be used when a model item was passed as selectable. This param defines a position in relation to that item. at the insertion position.

      • ...rest: unknown[]

      Returns ModelRange

      insertContent

    • Inserts an {@glink framework/deep-dive/schema#object-elements object element} at a specific position in the editor content.

      This is a high-level API:

      • It takes the #schema schema into consideration,
      • It clears the content of passed selectable before inserting,
      • It can move the selection at the end of the process,
      • It will copy the selected block's attributes to preserve them upon insertion,
      • It can split elements or wrap inline objects with paragraphs if they are not allowed in target position,
      • etc.

      Notes

      • If you want to insert a non-object content, see #insertContent instead.
      • For lower-level API, see module:engine/model/writer~ModelWriter Writer.
      • Unlike module:engine/model/writer~ModelWriter Writer, this method does not have to be used inside a #change change() block.
      • Inserting object into the model is not enough to make CKEditor 5 render that content to the user. CKEditor 5 implements a model-view-controller architecture and what model.insertObject() does is only adding nodes to the model. Additionally, you need to define {@glink framework/architecture/editing-engine#conversion converters} between the model and view and define those nodes in the {@glink framework/architecture/editing-engine#schema schema}.

      Examples

      Use the following code to insert an object at the current selection and keep the selection on the inserted element:

      const rawHtmlEmbedElement = writer.createElement( 'rawHtml' );

      model.insertObject( rawHtmlEmbedElement, null, null, {
      setSelection: 'on'
      } );

      Use the following code to insert an object at the current selection and nudge the selection after the inserted object:

      const pageBreakElement = writer.createElement( 'pageBreak' );

      model.insertObject( pageBreakElement, null, null, {
      setSelection: 'after'
      } );

      Use the following code to insert an object at the current selection and avoid splitting the content (non-destructive insertion):

      const tableElement = writer.createElement( 'table' );

      model.insertObject( tableElement, null, null, {
      findOptimalPosition: 'auto'
      } );

      Use the following code to insert an object at the specific range (also: replace the content of the range):

      const tableElement = writer.createElement( 'table' );
      const range = model.createRangeOn( model.document.getRoot().getChild( 1 ) );

      model.insertObject( tableElement, range );

      Parameters

      • element: ModelElement

        An object to be inserted into the model document.

      • Optionalselectable: ModelSelectable

        A selectable where the content should be inserted. If not specified, the current module:engine/model/document~ModelDocument#selection document selection will be used instead.

      • OptionalplaceOrOffset: ModelPlaceOrOffset

        Specifies the exact place or offset for the insertion to take place, relative to selectable.

      • Optionaloptions: {
            findOptimalPosition?: "before" | "after" | "auto";
            setSelection?: "after" | "on";
        }

        Additional options.

        • OptionalfindOptimalPosition?: "before" | "after" | "auto"

          An option that, when set, adjusts the insertion position (relative to selectable and placeOrOffset) so that the content of selectable is not split upon insertion (a.k.a. non-destructive insertion).

          • When 'auto', the algorithm will decide whether to insert the object before or after selectable to avoid content splitting.
          • When 'before', the closest position before selectable will be used that will not result in content splitting.
          • When 'after', the closest position after selectable will be used that will not result in content splitting.

          Note that this option only works for block objects. Inline objects are inserted into text and do not split blocks.

        • OptionalsetSelection?: "after" | "on"

          An option that, when set, moves the module:engine/model/document~ModelDocument#selection document selection after inserting the object.

          • When 'on', the document selection will be set on the inserted object.
          • When 'after', the document selection will move to the closest text node after the inserted object. If there is no such text node, a paragraph will be created and the document selection will be moved inside it. at the insertion position.
      • ...rest: unknown[]

      Returns ModelRange

    • 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 module:utils/eventinfo~EventInfo#stop stop the event and set the module:utils/eventinfo~EventInfo#return return value of the #fire method.

      Type Parameters

      • TEvent extends BaseEvent

        The type describing the event. See module:utils/emittermixin~BaseEvent.

      Parameters

      Returns void

      BASE_EMITTER

    • Modifies the selection. Currently, the supported modifications are:

      • Extending. The selection focus is moved in the specified options.direction with a step specified in options.unit. Possible values for unit are:
      • 'character' (default) - moves selection by one user-perceived character. In most cases this means moving by one character in String sense. However, unicode also defines "combing marks". These are special symbols, that combines with a symbol before it ("base character") to create one user-perceived character. For example, q̣̇ is a normal letter q with two "combining marks": upper dot (Ux0307) and lower dot (Ux0323). For most actions, i.e. extending selection by one position, it is correct to include both "base character" and all of it's "combining marks". That is why 'character' value is most natural and common method of modifying selection.
      • 'codePoint' - moves selection by one unicode code point. In contrary to, 'character' unit, this will insert selection between "base character" and "combining mark", because "combining marks" have their own unicode code points. However, for technical reasons, unicode code points with values above UxFFFF are represented in native String by two characters, called "surrogate pairs". Halves of "surrogate pairs" have a meaning only when placed next to each other. For example 𨭎 is represented in String by \uD862\uDF4E. Both \uD862 and \uDF4E do not have any meaning outside the pair (are rendered as ? when alone). Position between them would be incorrect. In this case, selection extension will include whole "surrogate pair".
      • 'word' - moves selection by a whole word.

      Note: if you extend a forward selection in a backward direction you will in fact shrink it.

      Parameters

      • selection: ModelSelection | ModelDocumentSelection

        The selection to modify.

      • Optionaloptions: {
            direction?: "forward" | "backward";
            treatEmojiAsSingleUnit?: boolean;
            unit?: "character" | "codePoint" | "word";
        }
        • Optionaldirection?: "forward" | "backward"

          The direction in which the selection should be modified.

        • OptionaltreatEmojiAsSingleUnit?: boolean

          Whether multi-characer emoji sequences should be handled as single unit.

        • Optionalunit?: "character" | "codePoint" | "word"

          The unit by which selection should be modified.

      Returns void

      modifySelection

    • Stops executing the callback on the given event. Shorthand for #stopListening this.stopListening( this, event, callback ).

      Parameters

      • event: string

        The name of the event.

      • callback: Function

        The function to stop being called.

      Returns void

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

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

      Type Parameters

      • TEvent extends BaseEvent

        The type descibing the event. See module:utils/emittermixin~BaseEvent.

      Parameters

      Returns 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 module:utils/emittermixin~BaseEvent.

      Parameters

      Returns 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.

      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 myProp: number;

      constructor() {
      this.set( 'myProp', 2 );
      }

        The property's name.

      • value: Model[K]

        The property's value.

      Returns void

      KEY_VALUE

    • 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'
      } );
      }
