dojox/editor/plugins/PasteFromWord (version 1.10)

dijit/_editor/_Plugin

Summary

This plugin provides PasteFromWord capability to the editor. When clicked, a dialog opens with a spartan RichText instance to paste word content into via the keyboard commands. The contents are then filtered to remove word style classes and other meta-junk that tends to cause issues.

Usage

var foo = new PasteFromWord(args);
dijit/_editor/_Plugin
Parameter Type Description
args Object
Optional

Properties

_filters

The filters is an array of regular expressions to try and strip out a lot of style data MS Word likes to insert when pasting into a contentEditable. Prettymuch all of it is junk and not good html. The hander is a place to put a function for match handling. In most cases, it just handles it as empty string. But the option is there for more complex handling.

_template
button
Defined by: dijit/_editor/_Plugin

Pointer to dijit/form/Button or other widget (ex: dijit/form/FilteringSelect) that is added to the toolbar to control this plugin. If not specified, will be created on initialization according to buttonClass

_clearDialog()

simple function to cleat the contents when hide is calledon dialog copy from dialog into the editor.

_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

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.

The value to set in the property.

Returns:function | string

Set a property on a plugin
