Functions

  • deleteContent( model, selection, options = { [options.doNotAutoparagraph], [options.doNotResetEntireContent], [options.leaveUnmerged] } ) → void

    See source

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

    Note: Use deleteContent instead of this function. This function is only exposed to be reusable in algorithms which change the deleteContent method's behavior.

    Parameters

    model : Model

    The model in context of which the insertion should be performed.

    selection : Selection | DocumentSelection

    Selection of which the content should be deleted.

    options : object
    Properties
    [ options.doNotAutoparagraph ] : 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).

    If you use this option you need to make sure to handle invalid selections yourself or leave them to the selection post-fixer (may not always work).

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

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

    [ options.doNotResetEntireContent ] : boolean

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

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

    • <paragraph>^</paragraph> with the option disabled (doNotResetEntireContent == false)
    • <heading>^</heading> with enabled (doNotResetEntireContent == true).
    [ options.leaveUnmerged ] : boolean

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

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

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

    Note: object and limit elements will not be merged.

    Defaults to {}

    Returns

    void
