Transforms are helper functions operating on the document. They can be used in defining your own commands.

Node transforms

Transforms that operate on nodes.

NodeOptions

All transforms listed below support a parameter options. This includes options specific to the transform, and general NodeOptions to specify the place in the document that the transform is applied to.

interface NodeOptions {
  at?: Location
  match?: (node: Node) => boolean
  mode?: 'highest' | 'lowest'
  voids?: boolean
}

Transforms.insertNodes(editor: Editor, nodes: Node | Node[], options?)

Insert nodes at the specified location in the document. If no location is specified, insert at the current selection. If there is no selection, insert at the end of the document.

Options supported: NodeOptions & {hanging?: boolean, select?: boolean}.

Transforms.removeNodes(editor: Editor, options?)

Remove nodes at the specified location in the document. If no location is specified, remove the nodes in the selection.

Options supported: NodeOptions & {hanging?: boolean}

Transforms.mergeNodes(editor: Editor, options?)

Merge a node at the specified location with the previous node at the same depth. If no location is specified, use the selection. Resulting empty container nodes are removed.

Options supported: NodeOptions & {hanging?: boolean}

Transforms.splitNodes(editor: Editor, options?)

Split nodes at the specified location. If no location is specified, split the selection.

Options supported: NodeOptions & {height?: number, always?: boolean}

Transforms.wrapNodes(editor: Editor, element: Element, options?)

Wrap nodes at the specified location in the element container. If no location is specified, wrap the selection.

Options supported: NodeOptions & {split?: boolean}. For options.mode, 'all' is also supported.

Transforms.unwrapNodes(editor: Editor, options?)

Unwrap nodes at the specified location. If necessary, the parent node is split. If no location is specified, use the selection.

Options supported: NodeOptions & {split?: boolean}. For options.mode, 'all' is also supported.

Transforms.setNodes(editor: Editor, props: Partial<Node>, options?)

Set properties of nodes at the specified location. If no location is specified, use the selection.

Options supported: NodeOptions & {hanging?: boolean, split?: boolean}. For options.mode, 'all' is also supported.

Transforms.unsetNodes(editor: Editor, props: string | string[], options?)

Unset properties of nodes at the specified location. If no location is specified, use the selection.

Options supported: NodeOptions & {split?: boolean}. For options.mode, 'all' is also supported.

Transforms.liftNodes(editor: Editor, options?)

Lift nodes at the specified location upwards in the document tree. If necessary, the parent node is split. If no location is specified, use the selection.

Options supported: NodeOptions. For options.mode, 'all' is also supported.

Transforms.moveNodes(editor: Editor, options)

Move the nodes from an origin to a destination. A destination must be specified in the options. If no origin is specified, move the selection.

Options supported: NodeOptions & {to: Path}. For options.mode, 'all' is also supported.

Selection transforms

Transforms that operate on the document's selection.

Transforms.collapse(editor: Editor, options?)

Collapse the selection to a single point.

Options: {edge?: 'anchor' | 'focus' | 'start' | 'end'}

Transforms.select(editor: Editor, target: Location)

Set the selection to a new value specified by target.

Transforms.deselect(editor: Editor)

Unset the selection.

Transforms.move(editor: Editor, options?)

Move the selection's point forward or backward.

Options: {distance?: number, unit?: 'offset' | 'character' | 'word' | 'line', reverse?: boolean, edge?: 'anchor' | 'focus' | 'start' | 'end'}

Transforms.setPoint(editor: Editor, props: Partial<Point>, options?)

Set new properties on one of the selection's points.

Options: {edge?: 'anchor' | 'focus' | 'start' | 'end'}

Transforms.setSelection(editor: Editor, props: Partial<Range>)

Set new properties on the selection.

Text transforms

Transforms that operate on text.

Transforms.delete(editor: Editor, options?)

Delete text in the document.

Options: {at?: Location, distance?: number, unit?: 'character' | 'word' | 'line' | 'block', reverse?: boolean, hanging?: boolean, voids?: boolean}

Transforms.insertFragment(editor: Editor, fragment: Node[], options?)

Insert of fragment of nodes at the specified location in the document. If no location is specified, insert at the current selection.

Options: {at?: Location, hanging?: boolean, voids?: boolean}

Transforms.insertText(editor: Editor, text: string, options?)

Insert a string of text at the specified location in the document. If no location is specified, insert at the current selection.

Options: {at?: Location, voids?: boolean}

General transform

Transforms.transform(editor: Editor, transform: Transform)

Transform the editor by an operation.
