CKEditorError

Api-class iconclass

The CKEditor error class.

You should throw CKEditorError when:

  • An unexpected situation occurred and the editor (most probably) will not work properly. Such exception will be reported to the callbacks registered with onEditorError(),
  • If the editor is incorrectly integrated or the editor API is used in the wrong way. This way you will give feedback to the developer as soon as possible. Keep in mind that for common integration issues which should not stop editor initialization (like missing upload adapter, wrong name of a toolbar component) we use logWarning() and logError() to improve developers experience and let them see the a working editor as soon as possible.

Properties

  • Chevron-right icon

    context: object | null | undefined
    readonly

    A context of the error by which error reporting works out which editor the error came from.

  • Chevron-right icon

    data?: object
    readonly

    The additional error data passed to the constructor. Undefined if none was passed.

Methods

  • Chevron-right icon

    constructor( errorName, context?, data?, originalError? )

    Creates an instance of the CKEditorError class.

    Parameters

    errorName: string

    The error id in an error-name format. A link to this error documentation page will be added to the thrown error's message.

    context?: object | null

    A context of the error by which error reporting works out which editor the error came from. Pass the editor, the context, or the plugin or command that throws the error. Pass null if the error should not be attributed to any editor (e.g. during the editor initialization).

    data?: object

    Additional data describing the error. A stringified version of this object will be appended to the error message, so the data are quickly visible in the console. The original data object will also be later available under the data property.

    originalError?: Error

    An optional original error that is being wrapped in the CKEditorError instance.

  • Chevron-right icon

    is( type ) → boolean

    Checks if the error is of the CKEditorError type.

    Parameters

    type: string

    Returns

    boolean

Static methods

  • Chevron-right icon

    rethrowUnexpectedError( error, context ) → never
    static

    A utility that ensures that the thrown error is a CKEditorError one. Only a CKEditorError is reported to the callbacks registered with onEditorError(), so wrapping an unexpected error in one is what makes it reach them.

    Parameters

    error: Error

    The error to rethrow.

    context: object

    An object connected through properties with the editor instance. This context is what error reporting uses to work out which editor the error came from.

    Returns

    never
