Creates a range spanning from start position to end position.
The start position.
Optionalend: ModelPositionThe end position. If not set, the range will be collapsed at the start position.
Describes whether the range is collapsed, that is if #start and #end positions are equal.
Describes whether this range is flat, that is if #start position and #end position are in the same module:engine/model/position~ModelPosition#parent.
Range root element.
InternalReturns a copy of this range that is transformed by deletion of howMany nodes from deletePosition.
If the deleted range is intersecting with the transformed range, the transformed range will be shrank.
If the deleted range contains transformed range, null will be returned.
Position from which nodes are removed.
How many nodes are removed.
Result of the transformation.
InternalReturns an array containing one or two ~ModelRange ranges that are a result of transforming this
~ModelRange range by inserting howMany nodes at insertPosition. Two ~ModelRange ranges are
returned if the insertion was inside this ~ModelRange range and spread is set to true.
Examples:
let range = model.createRange(
model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 2, 7 ] ),
model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 4, 0, 1 ] )
);
let transformed = range._getTransformedByInsertion( model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 1 ] ), 2 );
// transformed array has one range from [ 4, 7 ] to [ 6, 0, 1 ]
transformed = range._getTransformedByInsertion( model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 4, 0, 0 ] ), 4 );
// transformed array has one range from [ 2, 7 ] to [ 4, 0, 5 ]
transformed = range._getTransformedByInsertion( model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 3, 2 ] ), 4 );
// transformed array has one range, which is equal to original range
transformed = range._getTransformedByInsertion( model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 3, 2 ] ), 4, true );
// transformed array has two ranges: from [ 2, 7 ] to [ 3, 2 ] and from [ 3, 6 ] to [ 4, 0, 1 ]

Iterable interface.
Iterates over all module:engine/model/item~ModelItem items that are in this range and returns them together with additional information like length or module:engine/model/position~ModelPosition positions, grouped as module:engine/model/treewalker~ModelTreeWalkerValue. It iterates over all module:engine/model/textproxy~ModelTextProxy text contents that are inside the range and all the module:engine/model/element~ModelElements that are entered into when iterating over this range.
This iterator uses module:engine/model/treewalker~ModelTreeWalker with boundaries set to this range
and ignoreElementEnd option set to true.
Returns a new range that is equal to current range.
Checks whether given module:engine/model/item~ModelItem is inside this range.
Checks whether this range contains given module:engine/model/position~ModelPosition position.
Position to check.
true if given module:engine/model/position~ModelPosition position is contained
in this range,false otherwise.
Checks whether this range contains given ~ModelRange range.
Range to check.
Optionalloose: booleanWhether the check is loose or strict. If the check is strict (false), compared range cannot
start or end at the same position as this range boundaries. If the check is loose (true), compared range can start, end or
even be equal to this range. Note that collapsed ranges are always compared in strict mode.
true if given ~ModelRange range boundaries are contained by this range, false otherwise.
Returns an module:engine/model/element~ModelElement or module:engine/model/documentfragment~ModelDocumentFragment which is a common ancestor of the range's both ends (in which the entire range is contained).
Returns an module:engine/model/element~ModelElement Element contained by the range. The element will be returned when it is the only node within the range and fully–contained at the same time.
Computes which part(s) of this ~ModelRange range is not a part of given ~ModelRange range. Returned array contains zero, one or two ~ModelRange ranges.
Examples:
let range = model.createRange(
model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 2, 7 ] ),
model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 4, 0, 1 ] )
);
let otherRange = model.createRange( model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 1 ] ), model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 5 ] ) );
let transformed = range.getDifference( otherRange );
// transformed array has no ranges because `otherRange` contains `range`
otherRange = model.createRange( model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 1 ] ), model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 3 ] ) );
transformed = range.getDifference( otherRange );
// transformed array has one range: from [ 3 ] to [ 4, 0, 1 ]
otherRange = model.createRange( model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 3 ] ), model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 4 ] ) );
transformed = range.getDifference( otherRange );
// transformed array has two ranges: from [ 2, 7 ] to [ 3 ] and from [ 4 ] to [ 4, 0, 1 ]
Range to differentiate against.
The difference between ranges.
Returns an intersection of this ~ModelRange range and given ~ModelRange range.
Intersection is a common part of both of those ranges. If ranges has no common part, returns null.
Examples:
let range = model.createRange(
model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 2, 7 ] ),
model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 4, 0, 1 ] )
);
let otherRange = model.createRange( model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 1 ] ), model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 2 ] ) );
let transformed = range.getIntersection( otherRange ); // null - ranges have no common part
otherRange = model.createRange( model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 3 ] ), model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 5 ] ) );
transformed = range.getIntersection( otherRange ); // range from [ 3 ] to [ 4, 0, 1 ]
Range to check for intersection.
A common part of given ranges or null if ranges have no common part.
Returns an iterator that iterates over all module:engine/model/item~ModelItem items that are in this range and returns them.
This method uses module:engine/model/treewalker~ModelTreeWalker with boundaries set to this range and
ignoreElementEnd option set to true. However it returns only module:engine/model/item~ModelItem model items,
not module:engine/model/treewalker~ModelTreeWalkerValue.
You may specify additional options for the tree walker. See module:engine/model/treewalker~ModelTreeWalker for a full list of available options.
Optionaloptions: ModelTreeWalkerOptionsObject with configuration options. See module:engine/model/treewalker~ModelTreeWalker.
Returns a range created by joining this ~ModelRange range with the given ~ModelRange range.
If ranges have no common part, returns null.
Examples:
let range = model.createRange(
model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 2, 7 ] ),
model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 4, 0, 1 ] )
);
let otherRange = model.createRange(
model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 1 ] ),
model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 2 ] )
);
let transformed = range.getJoined( otherRange ); // null - ranges have no common part
otherRange = model.createRange(
model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 3 ] ),
model.createPositionFromPath( root, [ 5 ] )
);
transformed = range.getJoined( otherRange ); // range from [ 2, 7 ] to [ 5 ]
Range to be joined.
Optionalloose: booleanWhether the intersection check is loose or strict. If the check is strict (false),
ranges are tested for intersection or whether start/end positions are equal. If the check is loose (true),
compared range is also checked if it's module:engine/model/position~ModelPosition#isTouching touching current range.
A sum of given ranges or null if ranges have no common part.
Computes and returns the smallest set of #isFlat flat ranges, that covers this range in whole.
See an example of a model structure ([ and ] are range boundaries):
root root
|- element DIV DIV P2 P3 DIV
| |- element H H P1 f o o b a r H P4
| | |- "fir[st" fir[st lorem se]cond ipsum
| |- element P1
| | |- "lorem" ||
|- element P2 ||
| |- "foo" VV
|- element P3
| |- "bar" root
|- element DIV DIV [P2 P3] DIV
| |- element H H [P1] f o o b a r H P4
| | |- "se]cond" fir[st] lorem [se]cond ipsum
| |- element P4
| | |- "ipsum"
As it can be seen, letters contained in the range are: stloremfoobarse, spread across different parents.
We are looking for minimal set of flat ranges that contains the same nodes.
Minimal flat ranges for above range ( [ 0, 0, 3 ], [ 3, 0, 2 ] ) will be:
( [ 0, 0, 3 ], [ 0, 0, 5 ] ) = "st"
( [ 0, 1 ], [ 0, 2 ] ) = element P1 ("lorem")
( [ 1 ], [ 3 ] ) = element P2, element P3 ("foobar")
( [ 3, 0, 0 ], [ 3, 0, 2 ] ) = "se"
Note: if an module:engine/model/element~ModelElement element is not wholly contained in this range, it won't be returned
in any of the returned flat ranges. See in the example how H elements at the beginning and at the end of the range
were omitted. Only their parts that were wholly in the range were returned.
Note: this method is not returning flat ranges that contain no nodes.
Array of flat ranges covering this range.
Returns an iterator that iterates over all module:engine/model/position~ModelPosition positions that are boundaries or contained in this range.
This method uses module:engine/model/treewalker~ModelTreeWalker with boundaries set to this range. However it returns only
module:engine/model/position~ModelPosition positions, not module:engine/model/treewalker~ModelTreeWalkerValue.
You may specify additional options for the tree walker. See module:engine/model/treewalker~ModelTreeWalker for a full list of available options.
Optionaloptions: ModelTreeWalkerOptionsObject with configuration options. See module:engine/model/treewalker~ModelTreeWalker.
Returns a range that is a result of transforming this range by given operation.
Note: transformation may break one range into multiple ranges (for example, when a part of the range is
moved to a different part of document tree). For this reason, an array is returned by this method and it
may contain one or more Range instances.
Operation to transform range by.
Range which is the result of transformation.
Returns a range that is a result of transforming this range by multiple operations.
Range which is the result of transformation.
Creates a module:engine/model/treewalker~ModelTreeWalker TreeWalker instance with this range as a boundary.
For example, to iterate over all items in the entire document root:
// Create a range spanning over the entire root content:
const range = editor.model.createRangeIn( editor.model.document.getRoot() );
// Iterate over all items in this range:
for ( const value of range.getWalker() ) {
console.log( value.item );
}
Optionaloptions: ModelTreeWalkerOptionsObject with configuration options. See module:engine/model/treewalker~ModelTreeWalker.
Checks whether the object is of type module:engine/model/node~ModelNode or its subclass.
This method is useful when processing model objects that are of unknown type. For example, a function may return a module:engine/model/documentfragment~ModelDocumentFragment or a module:engine/model/node~ModelNode that can be either a text node or an element. This method can be used to check what kind of object is returned.
someObject.is( 'element' ); // -> true if this is an element
someObject.is( 'node' ); // -> true if this is a node (a text node or an element)
someObject.is( 'documentFragment' ); // -> true if this is a document fragment
Since this method is also available on a range of view objects, you can prefix the type of the object with
model: or view: to check, for example, if this is the model's or view's element:
modelElement.is( 'model:element' ); // -> true
modelElement.is( 'view:element' ); // -> false
By using this method it is also possible to check a name of an element:
imageElement.is( 'element', 'imageBlock' ); // -> true
imageElement.is( 'element', 'imageBlock' ); // -> same as above
imageElement.is( 'model:element', 'imageBlock' ); // -> same as above, but more precise

text.is( 'view:$text' ); // -> false
text.is( 'documentSelection' ); // -> false
