Editor

the editor object stores all the state of a slate editor it can be extended by plugins to add helpers and implement new behaviors interface editor { children node\[] selection range | null operations operation\[] marks omit\<text, 'text'> | null // schema specific node behaviors isinline (element element) => boolean isvoid (element element) => boolean normalizenode (entry nodeentry) => void onchange () => void // overrideable core actions addmark (key string, value any) => void apply (operation operation) => void deletebackward (unit 'character' | 'word' | 'line' | 'block') => void deleteforward (unit 'character' | 'word' | 'line' | 'block') => void deletefragment () => void insertbreak () => void insertfragment (fragment node\[]) => void insertnode (node node) => void inserttext (text string) => void removemark (key string) => void } docid\ wxgk44vnrmdbcbtb3n1ps docid\ wxgk44vnrmdbcbtb3n1ps docid\ wxgk44vnrmdbcbtb3n1ps docid\ wxgk44vnrmdbcbtb3n1ps docid\ wxgk44vnrmdbcbtb3n1ps docid\ wxgk44vnrmdbcbtb3n1ps docid\ wxgk44vnrmdbcbtb3n1ps docid\ wxgk44vnrmdbcbtb3n1ps instantiation methods createeditor() => editor note this method is imported directly from slate and is not part of the editor object creates a new, empty editor object static methods retrieval methods editor above\<t extends ancestor>(editor editor, options?) => nodeentry\<t> | undefined get the ancestor above a location in the document options {at? location, match? nodematch, mode?
