Type of Element
that is a root of a model tree.
Filtering
Properties
-
childCount : Number
readonly inherited
Number of this element's children.
-
Document that owns this root element.
-
endOffset : Number | null
readonly inherited
Offset at which this node ends in it's parent. It is equal to the sum of this node's start offset and offset size. Equals to
null
if the node has no parent. -
index : Number | null
readonly inherited
Index of this node in it's parent or
null
if the node has no parent.Accessing this property throws an error if this node's parent element does not contain it. This means that model tree got broken.
-
isEmpty : Boolean
readonly inherited
Is
true
if there are no nodes inside this element,false
otherwise. -
maxOffset : Number
readonly inherited
Sum of offset sizes of all of this element's children.
-
name : String
readonly inherited
Element name.
-
nextSibling : Node | null
readonly inherited
Node's next sibling or
null
if the node is a last child of it's parent or if the node has no parent. -
offsetSize : Number
readonly inherited
Offset size of this node. Represents how much "offset space" is occupied by the node in it's parent. It is important for position. When node has
offsetSize
greater than1
, position can be placed between that node start and end.offsetSize
greater than1
is for nodes that represents more than one entity, i.e. text node. -
parent : Element | DocumentFragment | null
readonly inherited
Parent of this node. It could be
Element
orDocumentFragment
. Equals tonull
if the node has no parent. -
previousSibling : Node | null
readonly inherited
Node's previous sibling or
null
if the node is a first child of it's parent or if the node has no parent. -
root : Node | DocumentFragment
readonly inherited
The top-most ancestor of the node. If node has no parent it is the root itself. If the node is a part of
DocumentFragment
, it'sroot
is equal to thatDocumentFragment
. -
rootName : String
readonly
Unique root name used to identify this root element by
Document
. -
startOffset : Number | null
readonly inherited
Offset at which this node starts in it's parent. It is equal to the sum of offsetSize of all it's previous siblings. Equals to
null
if node has no parent.Accessing this property throws an error if this node's parent element does not contain it. This means that model tree got broken.
-
_attrs : Map
private inherited

-
List of children nodes.
-
Document that is an owner of this root.
Methods
-
constructor( document, name, [ rootName ] )
Creates root element.
-
findAncestor( parentName, [ options ] = { [options.includeSelf] } ) → Element | null
inherited

Parameters
parentName : String
The name of the parent element to find.
[ options ] : Object

Properties[ options.includeSelf ] : Boolean
When set to
true
this node will be also included while searching.Defaults to
false
Returns
Element | null

inherited
Returns ancestors array of this node.
Parameters

Options object.
Properties[ options.includeSelf ] : Boolean
When set to
true
this node will be also included in parent's array.Defaults to
false
[ options.parentFirst ] : Boolean
When set to
true
, array will be sorted from node's parent to root element, otherwise root element will be the first item in the array.Defaults to
false
Returns
Array
Array with ancestors.
-
getAttribute( key ) → *
inherited
Gets an attribute value for given key or
undefined
if that attribute is not set on node.Parameters
key : String
Key of attribute to look for.
Returns
*
Attribute value or
undefined
.
-
getAttributeKeys() → Iterable.<String>
inherited
Returns iterator that iterates over this node's attribute keys.
Returns
Iterable.<String>
-
getAttributes() → Iterable.<*>
inherited
Returns iterator that iterates over this node's attributes.
Attributes are returned as arrays containing two items. First one is attribute key and second is attribute value. This format is accepted by native
Map
object and also can be passed inNode
constructor.Returns
Iterable.<*>
-
Gets the child at the given index.
-
getChildIndex( node ) → Number
inherited
Returns an index of the given child node. Returns
null
if given node is not a child of this element. -
getChildStartOffset( node ) → Number
inherited
Returns the starting offset of given child. Starting offset is equal to the sum of offset sizes of all node's siblings that are before it. Returns
null
if given node is not a child of this element. -
getChildren() → Iterable.<Node>
inherited
Returns an iterator that iterates over all of this element's children.
Returns
Iterable.<Node>
-
getCommonAncestor( node, options = { [options.includeSelf] } ) → Element | DocumentFragment | null
inherited
Returns a
Element
orDocumentFragment
which is a common ancestor of both nodes.Parameters
node : Node
The second node.
options : Object
Options object.
Properties[ options.includeSelf ] : Boolean
When set to
true
both nodes will be considered "ancestors" too. Which means that if e.g. node A is inside B, then their common ancestor will be B.Defaults to
false
Returns
Element | DocumentFragment | null
-
getNodeByPath( relativePath ) → Node
inherited
Returns a descendant node by its path relative to this element.
Parameters
relativePath : Array.<Number>
Path of the node to find, relative to this element.
Returns

getPath() → Array.<Number>
inherited
-
hasAttribute( key ) → Boolean
inherited
Checks if the node has an attribute with given key.
Parameters
key : String
Key of attribute to check.
Returns
Boolean
true
if attribute with given key is set on node,false
otherwise.
-
is( type ) → Boolean
inherited
Checks whether this object is of the given type.
This method is useful when processing model objects that are of unknown type. For example, a function may return a
DocumentFragment
or aNode
that can be either a text node or an element. This method can be used to check what kind of object is returned.Since this method is also available on a range of view objects, you can prefix the type of the object with
model:
orview:
to check, for example, if this is the model's or view's element:By using this method it is also possible to check a name of an element:
The list of model objects which implement the
is()
method:Node#is()
Text#is()
Element#is()
RootElement#is()
Position#is()
LivePosition#is()
Range#is()
LiveRange#is()
DocumentFragment#is()
Selection#is()
DocumentSelection#is()
Marker#is()
TextProxy#is()
Parameters
type : String
Type to check.
Returns
Boolean
-
isAfter( node ) → Boolean
inherited
Returns whether this node is after given node.
false
is returned if nodes are in different trees (for example, in differentDocumentFragment
s). -
isAttached() → Boolean
inherited
Returns true if the node is in a tree rooted in the document (is a descendant of one of its roots).
Returns
Boolean
-
isBefore( node ) → Boolean
inherited
Returns whether this node is before given node.
false
is returned if nodes are in different trees (for example, in differentDocumentFragment
s). -
offsetToIndex( offset ) → Number
inherited
Returns index of a node that occupies given offset. If given offset is too low, returns
0
. If given offset is too high, returns index after last child.Parameters
offset : Number
Offset to look for.
Returns
Number
-

inherited
Converts
Node
to plain object and returns it.Returns

Node
converted to plain object.
-
_appendChild( nodes )
protected inherited
Inserts one or more nodes at the end of this element.
-
_clearAttributes()
protected inherited
Removes all attributes from the node.

-
_clone( [ deep ] )
protected inherited
Creates a copy of this element and returns it. Created element has the same name and attributes as the original element. If clone is deep, the original element's children are also cloned. If not, then empty element is returned.
Parameters
[ deep ] : Boolean

true
clones element and all its children recursively. When set tofalse
, element will be cloned without any child.Defaults to
false
-
_insertChild( index, items )
protected inherited
-
_remove()
protected inherited
Removes this node from it's parent.
Related:
-
_removeAttribute( key ) → Boolean
protected inherited
Removes an attribute with given key from the node.
Parameters
key : String
Key of attribute to remove.
Returns
Boolean
true
if the attribute was set on the element,false
otherwise.
Related:
-
_removeChildren( index, [ howMany ] ) → Array.<Node>
protected inherited
-
_setAttribute( key, value )
protected inherited
Sets attribute on the node. If attribute with the same key already is set, it's value is overwritten.
Parameters
key : String
Key of attribute to set.
value : *
Attribute value.
Related:
-
_setAttributesTo( [ attrs ] )
protected inherited
Removes all attributes from the node and sets given attributes.
Static methods
-
Creates an
Element
instance from given plain object (i.e. parsed JSON string). ConvertsElement
children to proper nodes.Parameters

Element
.
