MarkerCollection (engine/model)

@ckeditor/ckeditor5-engine/src/model/markercollection

class
See source

The collection of all markers attached to the document. It lets you get markers or track them using event-update event.

To create, change or remove makers use model writers' methods: addMarker or removeMarker. Since the writer is the only proper way to change the data model it is not possible to change markers directly using this collection. All markers created by the writer will be automatically added to this collection.

By default there is one marker collection available as model property.
