Methods

afterCloneFrom

afterCloneFrom(prevNode): void

Perform any state updates on the clone of prevNode that are not already handled by the constructor call in the static clone method. If you have state to update in your clone that is not handled directly by the constructor, it is advisable to override this method but it is required to include a call to super.afterCloneFrom(prevNode) in your implementation. This is only intended to be called by $cloneWithProperties function or via a super call.

Parameters

NameType
prevNodethis

Returns

void

Example

class ClassesTextNode extends TextNode {
// Not shown: static getType, static importJSON, exportJSON, createDOM, updateDOM
__classes = new Set<string>();
static clone(node: ClassesTextNode): ClassesTextNode {
// The inherited TextNode constructor is used here, so
// classes is not set by this method.
return new ClassesTextNode(node.__text, node.__key);
}
afterCloneFrom(node: this): void {
// This calls TextNode.afterCloneFrom and LexicalNode.afterCloneFrom
// for necessary state updates
super.afterCloneFrom(node);
this.__addClasses(node.__classes);
}
// This method is a private implementation detail, it is not
// suitable for the public API because it does not call getWritable
__addClasses(classNames: Iterable<string>): this {
for (const className of classNames) {
this.__classes.add(className);
}
return this;
}
addClass(...classNames: string[]): this {
return this.getWritable().__addClasses(classNames);
}
removeClass(...classNames: string[]): this {
const node = this.getWritable();
for (const className of classNames) {
this.__classes.delete(className);
}
return this;
}
getClasses(): Set<string> {
return this.getLatest().__classes;
}
}

canMergeWhenEmpty

canMergeWhenEmpty(): true

Determines whether this node, when empty, can merge with a first block of nodes being inserted.

This method is specifically called in RangeSelection.insertNodes to determine merging behavior during nodes insertion.

Returns

true

Example

// In a ListItemNode or QuoteNode implementation:
canMergeWhenEmpty(): true {
return true;
}

Overrides

ElementNode.canMergeWhenEmpty

NameType
nodeLexicalNode

Returns

boolean

Parameters

NameType

Returns

true

Defined in

packages/lexical-list/src/LexicalListItemNode.ts:318


createDOM

createDOM(config): HTMLElement

Called during the reconciliation process to determine which nodes to insert into the DOM for this Lexical Node.

This method must return exactly one HTMLElement. Nested elements are not supported.

Do not attempt to update the Lexical EditorState during this phase of the update lifecycle.

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
configEditorConfigallows access to things like the EditorTheme (to apply classes) during reconciliation.

Returns

HTMLElement

Overrides

ElementNode.createDOM

Defined in

The creation logic for any required parent. Should be implemented if isParentRequired returns true.

Returns

ElementNode

Overrides

ElementNode.createParentElementNode

Defined in

packages/lexical-list/src/LexicalListItemNode.ts:461


exportDOM

exportDOM(editor): DOMExportOutput

Controls how the this node is serialized to HTML. This is important for copy and paste between Lexical and non-Lexical editors, or Lexical editors with different namespaces, in which case the primary transfer format is HTML. It's also important if you're serializing to HTML for any other reason via $generateHtmlFromNodes. You could also use this method to build your own HTML renderer.

Parameters

NameType
editorLexicalEditor

Returns

DOMExportOutput

Overrides

ElementNode.exportDOM

Defined in

packages/lexical-list/src/LexicalListItemNode.ts:173


exportJSON

exportJSON(): SerializedListItemNode

Controls how the this node is serialized to JSON. This is important for copy and paste between Lexical editors sharing the same namespace. It's also important if you're serializing to JSON for persistent storage somewhere. See Serialization & Deserialization.

Returns

SerializedListItemNode

Overrides

ElementNode.exportJSON

Defined in

packages/lexical-list/src/LexicalListItemNode.ts:191

insertAfter

insertAfter(node, restoreSelection?): LexicalNode

Inserts a node after this LexicalNode (as the next sibling).

Parameters

NameTypeDefault valueDescription
nodeLexicalNodeundefinedThe node to insert after this one.
restoreSelectionbooleantrueWhether or not to attempt to resolve the selection to the appropriate place after the operation is complete.

Returns

isParentRequired

isParentRequired(): true

Whether or not this node has a required parent. Used during copy + paste operations to normalize nodes that would otherwise be orphaned. For example, ListItemNodes without a ListNode parent or TextNodes with a ParagraphNode parent.

Returns

true

Overrides

ElementNode.isParentRequired

Defined in

packages/lexical-list/src/LexicalListItemNode.ts:457


remove

remove(preserveEmptyParent?): void

Removes this LexicalNode from the EditorState. If the node isn't re-inserted somewhere, the Lexical garbage collector will eventually clean it up.

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
preserveEmptyParent?booleanIf falsy, the node's parent will be removed if it's empty after the removal operation. This is the default behavior, subject to other node heuristics such as ElementNode#canBeEmpty

Returns

void

Overrides

Defined in

packages/lexical-list/src/LexicalListItemNode.ts:289


replace

replace<N>(replaceWithNode, includeChildren?): N

updateDOM

updateDOM(prevNode, dom, config): boolean

Called when a node changes and should update the DOM in whatever way is necessary to make it align with any changes that might have happened during the update.

Returning "true" here will cause lexical to unmount and recreate the DOM node (by calling createDOM). You would need to do this if the element tag changes, for instance.

Parameters

NameType
prevNodeListItemNode
domHTMLElement
configEditorConfig

Returns

boolean

Overrides

ElementNode.updateDOM

Defined in

packages/lexical-list/src/LexicalListItemNode.ts:153


updateFromJSON

updateFromJSON(serializedNode): this

Update this LexicalNode instance from serialized JSON. It's recommended to implement as much logic as possible in this method instead of the static importJSON method, so that the functionality can be inherited in subclasses.

The LexicalUpdateJSON utility type should be used to ignore any type, version, or children properties in the JSON so that the extended JSON from subclasses are acceptable parameters for the super call.

If overridden, this method must call super.

Parameters

NameType
serializedNodeLexicalUpdateJSON<SerializedListItemNode>

Returns

this

Example

class MyTextNode extends TextNode {
// ...
static importJSON(serializedNode: SerializedMyTextNode): MyTextNode {
return $createMyTextNode()
.updateFromJSON(serializedNode);
}
updateFromJSON(
serializedNode: LexicalUpdateJSON<SerializedMyTextNode>,
): this {
return super.updateFromJSON(serializedNode)
.setMyProperty(serializedNode.myProperty);
}
}

Overrides

ElementNode.updateFromJSON

Defined in

packages/lexical-list/src/LexicalListItemNode.ts:164
