Point

import { Point } from 'slate'

A point in a Slate Document. Points in Slate are inspired by the DOM Range API, with terms like "offset".

Properties

Point({
  key: String,
  path: List,
  offset: Number,
})

key

String

The key of the text node at the point's point.

path

List

The path to the text node at the point's point.

object

String

A string with a value of 'point'.

offset

Number

The number of characters from the start of the text node at the point's point.

Computed Properties

isSet

Boolean

Whether the key, path and offset of a point is not null.

isUnset

Boolean

Whether any of the key, path or offset of a point is null.

Static Methods

Point.create

Point.create(properties: Object|Point) => Point

Create a new Point with properties.

Point.createProperties

Point.createProperties(object: Object|Point) => Object

Create a new dictionary of point properties from an object.

Point.fromJSON

Point.fromJSON(object: Object) => Point

Create a point from a JSON object.

Point.isPoint

Point.isPoint(value: Any) => Boolean

Check whether a value is a Point.

Instance Methods

toJSON

toJSON() => Object

Return a JSON representation of the point.

Checking Methods

isAfterRange

isAfterRange(range: Range) => Boolean

Determine whether the point is after a range.

isAtEndOfRange

isAtEndOfRange(range: Range) => Boolean

Determine whether the point is at the end of a range.

isAtStartOfRange

isAtStartOfRange(range: Range) => Boolean

Determine whether the point is at the start of a range.

isBeforeRange

isBeforeRange(range: Range) => Boolean

Determine whether the point is before a range.

isInRange

isInRange(range: Range) => Boolean

Determine whether the point is inside a range.

isAtEndOfNode

isAtEndOfNode(node: Node) => Boolean

Determine whether the point is at the end of a node.

isAtStartOfNode

isAtStartOfNode(node: Node) => Boolean

Determine whether the point is at the start of a node.

isInNode

isInNode(node: Node) => Boolean

Determine whether a point is inside a node.

Mutating Methods

moveBackward

moveBackward(n: Number) => Point

Return a new point with its offset moved backwards by n characters.

moveForward

moveForward(n: Number) => Point

Return a new point with its offset moved forwards by n characters.

moveTo

moveTo(path: List, offset: Number) => Point moveTo(key: String, offset: Number) => Point moveTo(offset: Number) => Point

Return a new point with its path, key and offset set to new values.

🤖 When using point.moveTo, since the point isn't aware of the document, it's possible it will become "unset" if the path or key changes and need to be re-normalized relative to the document using point.normalize(document).

moveToEndOfNode

moveToEndOfNode(node: Node) => Point

Return a new point at the end of a node.

🤖 This method may need to be followed by point.normalize(document), like moveTo.

moveToStartOfNode

moveToStartOfNode(node: Node) => Point

Return a new point at the start of a node.

🤖 This method may need to be followed by point.normalize(document), like moveTo.

normalize

normalize(node: Node) => Point

Normalize the point relative to a node, ensuring that its key and path are in sync, that its offset is valid, and that it references a leaf text node.

setKey

setKey(key: String|Null) => Point

Return a new point with a new key.

setOffset

setOffset(offset: Number|Null) => Point

Return a new point with a new offset.

setPath

setPath(path: List|Array|Null) => Point

Return a new point with a new path.

unset

unset() => Point

Return a new point with the key, path, and offset all set to null.
