Methods

_condenseSpans(node)

Method to condense spans if you end up with multi-wrapping from from converting b, i, u, to span nodes.

Parameter Type Description
node undefined

The node (and its children), to process.

_convertToCss(node)

A function to convert the HTML structure of 'node' into css span styles around text instead of semantic tags. Note: It does not do compression of spans together.

Parameter Type Description
node DOMNode

The node to process

Returns:undefined
_convertToSemantic(node)

A function to convert the HTML structure of 'node' into semantic tags where possible.

Parameter Type Description
node DOMNode

The node to process.

The node to process.

_getAttrNames(name)

Helper function for get() and set(). Caches attribute name values so we don't do the string ops every time.

Parameter Type Description
name undefined
Returns:undefined | object
_initButton()

Initialize the button or other widget that will control this plugin. This code only works for plugins controlling built-in commands in the editor.

_inserthtmlImpl(html)

Function to trap and over-ride the editor inserthtml implementation to try and filter it to match the editor's internal styling mode. Helpful for plugins like PasteFromWord, in that it extra-filters and normalizes the input if it can.

Parameter Type Description
html undefined

The HTML string to insert.

Returns:undefined | boolean
_isInline(tag)

Function to determine if the current tag is an inline element that does formatting, as we don't want to try to combine inlines with divs on styles.

_normalizeTags(node)

A function to handle normalizing certain tag types contained under 'node'

Parameter Type Description
node undefined

The node to search from.

_set(name,value)

Helper function to set new value for specified attribute

Parameter Type Description
name String
value anything
_setDisabledAttr(disabled)

Function to set the plugin state and call updateState to make sure the button is updated appropriately.

Parameter Type Description
disabled undefined
buttonClass()

Class of widget (ex: dijit.form.Button or dijit/form/FilteringSelect) that is added to the toolbar to control this plugin. This is used to instantiate the button, unless button itself is specified directly.

connect(o,f,tf)

Deprecated. Use this.own() with dojo/on or dojo/aspect.instead.

Make a connect.connect() that is automatically disconnected when this plugin is destroyed. Similar to dijit/_Widget.connect().

Parameter Type Description
o undefined
f undefined
tf undefined
destroy()
get(name)

Get a property from a plugin.

Get a named property from a plugin. The property may potentially be retrieved via a getter method. If no getter is defined, this just retrieves the object's property. For example, if the plugin has a properties "foo" and "bar" and a method named "_getFooAttr", calling:

plugin.get("foo");

would be equivalent to writing:

plugin._getFooAttr();

and:

plugin.get("bar");

would be equivalent to writing:

plugin.bar;
Parameter Type Description
name undefined

The property to get.

Returns:undefined
getLabel(key)

Returns the label to use for the button

Parameter Type Description
key String
Returns:undefined
own()
Defined by dijit/Destroyable

Track specified handles and remove/destroy them when this instance is destroyed, unless they were already removed/destroyed manually.

Returns:any | undefined

The array of specified handles, so you can do for example:

var handle = this.own(on(...))[0];
set(name,value)

Set a property on a plugin

Sets named properties on a plugin which may potentially be handled by a setter in the plugin. For example, if the plugin has a properties "foo" and "bar" and a method named "_setFooAttr", calling:

plugin.set("foo", "Howdy!");

would be equivalent to writing:

plugin._setFooAttr("Howdy!");

and:

plugin.set("bar", 3);

would be equivalent to writing:

plugin.bar = 3;

set() may also be called with a hash of name/value pairs, ex:

plugin.set({
    foo: "Howdy",
    bar: 3
})

This is equivalent to calling set(foo, "Howdy") and set(bar, 3)

Parameter Type Description
name attribute

The property to set.

value anything

The value to set in the property.

Returns:function | string

Set a property on a plugin

setEditor(editor)

Over-ride for the setting of the editor.

Parameter Type Description
editor Object

The editor to configure for this plugin to use.

setToolbar(toolbar)

Tell the plugin to add it's controller widget (often a button) to the toolbar. Does nothing if there is no controller widget.

Parameter Type Description
toolbar dijit/Toolbar
updateState()

Change state of the plugin to respond to events in the editor.

This is called on meaningful events in the editor, such as change of selection or caret position (but not simple typing of alphanumeric keys). It gives the plugin a chance to update the CSS of its button.

For example, the "bold" plugin will highlight/unhighlight the bold button depending on whether the characters next to the caret are bold or not.

Only makes sense when useDefaultCommand is true, as it calls Editor.queryCommandEnabled(command).
