Methods​

$config()​

$config(): BaseStaticNodeConfig & StaticNodeConfigAccessor<{ $transform: { }; extends: typeof LexicalNode; generated: GeneratedJSONFactory; json: NodeSerializationSchema<ElementNode, { direction?: "ltr" | "rtl" | null; format?: "" | "left" | "start" | "center" | "right" | "end" | "justify"; indent?: string | number; textFormat?: string | number; textStyle?: string; }>; }> & object & StaticNodeTypeAccessor<"mark"> & StaticNodeConfigAccessor<{ children: "inline"; extends: typeof ElementNode; generated: GeneratedJSONFactory; inline: true; json: NodeSerializationSchema<MarkNode, { ids?: readonly string[]; }>; }>

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkNode.ts:67

Override this to implement the new static node configuration protocol, this method is called directly on the prototype and must not depend on anything initialized in the constructor. Generally it should be a trivial implementation.

Returns​

BaseStaticNodeConfig & StaticNodeConfigAccessor<{ $transform: { }; extends: typeof LexicalNode; generated: GeneratedJSONFactory; json: NodeSerializationSchema<ElementNode, { direction?: "ltr" | "rtl" | null; format?: "" | "left" | "start" | "center" | "right" | "end" | "justify"; indent?: string | number; textFormat?: string | number; textStyle?: string; }>; }> & object & StaticNodeTypeAccessor<"mark"> & StaticNodeConfigAccessor<{ children: "inline"; extends: typeof ElementNode; generated: GeneratedJSONFactory; inline: true; json: NodeSerializationSchema<MarkNode, { ids?: readonly string[]; }>; }>

Example​
class MyNode extends TextNode {
  $config() {
    return this.config('my-node', {extends: TextNode});
  }
}
Inherited from​

ElementNode.$config

addID()​

addID(id): this

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkNode.ts:131

Parameters​
id​

string

Returns​

this

afterCloneFrom()​

afterCloneFrom(prevNode): void

Defined in: packages/lexical/src/nodes/LexicalElementNode.ts:345

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​
prevNode​

this

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;
  }

    return this.getLatest().__classes;
  }

Config extends StaticNodeConfigValue<MarkNode, string>

Parameters​
type​

symbol

config​

ElementNode.excludeFromCopy

exportDOM()​

exportDOM(editor): DOMExportOutput

Defined in: packages/lexical/src/nodes/LexicalElementNode.ts:942

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​
editor​

LexicalEditor

Returns​

DOMExportOutput

Inherited from​

ElementNode.exportDOM

exportJSON()​
Call Signature​

exportJSON(compact?): SerializedMarkNode

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkNode.ts:56

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.

The base implementation writes every property the node's schema declares (its own and those it inherits), reading each through its getter — get<Prop> by default, or the name recorded with withAccessors. A getter that returns undefined omits its property. Override this only for output a schema can not describe, and call super.exportJSON(compact) when you do.

This may serialize the instance as-is, without resolving the latest version. A property declared with withField is read straight off the node, which is the optimization the serialization walk is built on — every node the walk reaches comes from the EditorState's node map and is already current, so it resolves nothing per node.

So on a reference that a getWritable() (any set<Prop>) has since superseded, this writes pre-mutation values. Which properties do is not something to rely on: a property whose accessor a subclass overrode still goes through that accessor and resolves the latest, so one node can write a current text beside a stale style. Call node.getLatest().exportJSON() whenever you hold such a reference rather than reasoning about which properties resolve.

This is a breaking change. Every property previously went through an accessor, and every accessor resolves getLatest(), so a stale reference exported current values.

Parameters​
compact?​

false

Write the compact form: omit a property the parser derives rather than reads, one whose value is the schema default parsing would restore, and the deprecated version. The two forms describe the same document. A node that overrides this and ignores the flag simply keeps writing the full form, which still parses.

Returns​

SerializedMarkNode

Inherited from​

ElementNode.exportJSON

Call Signature​

exportJSON(compact): SerializedPartial<SerializedMarkNode>

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkNode.ts:57

The compact form omits properties, so what it returns is the partial serialized type — every node-specific property optional — rather than the full one. Passing a boolean whose value is not statically known selects this overload too, which is right: neither form can be promised then.

Parameters​
compact​

boolean

Returns​

SerializedPartial<SerializedMarkNode>

isAttached()​

isAttached(): boolean

Defined in: packages/lexical/src/LexicalNode.ts:1285

Returns true if there is a path between this node and the RootNode, false otherwise. This is a way of determining if the node is "attached" EditorState. Unattached nodes won't be reconciled and will ultimately be cleaned up by the Lexical GC.

Returns​

Inherited from​

ElementNode.isAttached

isBefore()​

isBefore(targetNode): boolean

Defined in: packages/lexical/src/LexicalNode.ts:1588

Returns true if this node logically precedes the target node in the editor state, false otherwise (including if there is no common ancestor).

Note that this notion of isBefore is based on post-order; a descendant node is always before its ancestors. See also $getCommonAncestor and $comparePointCaretNext for more flexible ways to determine the relative positions of nodes.

isParentRequired(): boolean

Defined in: packages/lexical/src/LexicalNode.ts:2109

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​

boolean

Inherited from​

ElementNode.isParentRequired

isSelected()​

isSelected(selection?): boolean

Defined in: packages/lexical/src/LexicalNode.ts:1312

Returns true if this node is contained within the provided Selection., false otherwise. Relies on the algorithms implemented in BaseSelection.getNodes to determine what's included.

Returns​

void

Inherited from​

ElementNode.markDirty

remove()​

remove(preserveEmptyParent?): void

Defined in: packages/lexical/src/LexicalNode.ts:1967

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

Parameters​
preserveEmptyParent?​

boolean

If 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

Inherited from​

ElementNode.remove

replace()​

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

Defined in: packages/lexical/src/LexicalNode.ts:1984

Replaces this LexicalNode with the provided node, optionally transferring the children of the replaced node to the replacing node.

Named slots are bound to their host node and are never transferred: this node keeps its slot map, so if it is reattached elsewhere (as $wrapNodeInElement does) its slots come with it, and if it stays detached the slot subtrees are garbage-collected along with it. To move a slot value onto another host, use $setSlot explicitly.

Type Parameters​
N​

N extends LexicalNode

Parameters​
replaceWith​

N

The node to replace this one with.

includeChildren?​

boolean

Whether or not to transfer the children of this node to the replacing node.

Returns​

N

updateDOM()​

updateDOM(prevNode, element, config): boolean

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkNode.ts:91

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​
prevNode​

this

element​

HTMLElement

config​

EditorConfig

Returns​

boolean

Inherited from​

ElementNode.updateDOM

updateFromJSON()​

updateFromJSON(serializedNode): this

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkNode.ts:58

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​
serializedNode​

LexicalParseJSON<SerializedMarkNode>

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);
  }
}

The whole schema is applied, so a property the JSON omits is set to its schema default rather than left as it is — that is what lets the compact form omit a default-valued property and have parsing restore it. (A flat NodeState is the exception: it is applied only when present.) Pass the node's complete serialized form unless you mean to reset what you leave out.

Inherited from​

ElementNode.updateFromJSON

clone()​

static clone(_data): LexicalNode

Defined in: packages/lexical/src/LexicalNode.ts:1111

Clones this node, creating a new node with a different key and adding it to the EditorState (but not attaching it anywhere!). All nodes must implement this method.

Parameters​
_data​

unknown

Returns​

LexicalNode

Inherited from​

ElementNode.clone

getType()​

static getType(): string

Defined in: packages/lexical/src/LexicalNode.ts:1095

Returns the string type of this node. Every node must implement this and it MUST BE UNIQUE amongst nodes registered on the editor.

Returns​

string

Inherited from​

ElementNode.getType

importJSON()​

static importJSON(_serializedNode): LexicalNode

Defined in: packages/lexical/src/LexicalNode.ts:1889

Controls how the this node is deserialized from JSON. This is usually boilerplate, but provides an abstraction between the node implementation and serialized interface that can be important if you ever make breaking changes to a node schema (by adding or removing properties). See Serialization & Deserialization.

Parameters​
_serializedNode​

Omit<SerializedLexicalNode & Partial<SerializedLexicalNode>, "$slots" | "children" | "version"> & object & Record<string, unknown>

Returns​

LexicalNode

Inherited from​

ElementNode.importJSON

transform()​

static transform(): ((node) => void) | null

Defined in: packages/lexical/src/LexicalNode.ts:1953

Experimental

Registers the returned function as a transform on the node during Editor initialization. Most such use cases should be addressed via the LexicalEditor.registerNodeTransform API.

Experimental - use at your own risk.

Returns​

((node) => void) | null

Inherited from​

ElementNode.transform

Interfaces​

MarkStateConfig​

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkStateExtension.ts:113

Experimental

Configuration for MarkStateExtension.

Properties​

disabled​

disabled: boolean

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkStateExtension.ts:122

Experimental

When true, mark ids are not rendered in the editor DOM, the markIDNodeKeys output is emptied and no longer maintained, and text inserted next to a marked run no longer has its ids adjusted (it keeps whatever ids the TextNode it lands in has). The ids stay in the document, the $ functions keep working, and HTML export (with exportIDsToHTML) and import still write and read the ids.

exportIDsToHTML​

exportIDsToHTML: boolean

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkStateExtension.ts:130

Experimental

When true, HTML export ($generateHtmlFromNodes, and so copying to the clipboard as text/html) writes the data-lexical-mark-ids attribute on marked leaves, so that the ids survive an HTML round trip. Default false, like MarkNode, which exports no ids: they are often internal thread ids that should not leak into other applications.

markableNodes​

markableNodes: readonly MarkableNodeMatch[]

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkStateExtension.ts:145

Experimental

The nodes that carry mark ids: a node is markable when it is an instance of one of these classes or one of these guards returns true for it. Marking a range marks the markable nodes in it, and the ElementNodes and slot hosts in it are looked through (their children and their slots). Use it for leaves: TextNode, LineBreakNode and DecoratorNode subclasses.

The default is [TextNode, LineBreakNode, $isInlineDecoratorNode]: TextNode and its subclasses, LineBreakNode, and every inline DecoratorNode (which includes DecoratorTextNode from @lexical/extension). To extend it, spread the default: [...DEFAULT_MARKABLE_NODES, MyBlockDecoratorNode]. Every editor that edits the same document should use the same set.

MarkStateOutput​

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkStateExtension.ts:153

Experimental

Output of MarkStateExtension.

Properties​

disabled​

disabled: Signal<boolean>

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkStateExtension.ts:154

Experimental

exportIDsToHTML​

exportIDsToHTML: Signal<boolean>

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkStateExtension.ts:155

Experimental

markIDNodeKeys​

markIDNodeKeys: ReadonlySignal<ReadonlyMap<string, readonly string[]>>

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkStateExtension.ts:161

Experimental

Every mark id in the document, mapped to the keys of the leaves that carry it (in no particular order). A new Map is published after each update that changes it. Empty while the extension is disabled.

Type Aliases​

MarkableNodeMatch​

MarkableNodeMatch = Klass<LexicalNode> | ((node) => boolean)

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkStateExtension.ts:95

Experimental

A node class, matched with instanceof, or a guard function, as used in the markableNodes config of MarkStateExtension.

SerializedMarkNode​

SerializedMarkNode = Spread<{ ids: string[]; }, SerializedElementNode>

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkNode.ts:33

Variables​

DEFAULT_MARKABLE_NODES​

const DEFAULT_MARKABLE_NODES: readonly MarkableNodeMatch[]

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkStateExtension.ts:231

Experimental

The default markableNodes of MarkStateExtension: TextNode, LineBreakNode and inline DecoratorNodes (including DecoratorTextNode).

MARK_STATE_IDS_ATTRIBUTE​

const MARK_STATE_IDS_ATTRIBUTE: "data-lexical-mark-ids" = 'data-lexical-mark-ids'

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkStateExtension.ts:106

Experimental

The attribute that MarkStateExtension renders on the element of each marked leaf in the editor, holding its space separated ids. HTML export writes it when exportIDsToHTML is set, and HTML import reads it back.

MARK_STATE_KEY​

const MARK_STATE_KEY: "markIds" = 'markIds'

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkStateExtension.ts:87

Experimental

The NodeState key that MarkStateExtension stores mark ids under: a leaf covered by c1 and c2 has {"markIds": ["c1", "c2"]} (sorted) in the $ record of its JSON.

The state is an arraySetValue (see lexical), so its schema marks it as a set whose members are independent: code that stores or merges NodeState can treat each id separately.

MarkExtension​

const MarkExtension: LexicalExtension<ExtensionConfigBase, "@lexical/mark", unknown, unknown>

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/index.ts:166

Configures MarkNode

MarkStateExtension​

const MarkStateExtension: MarkStateExtensionType

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkStateExtension.ts:2067

Experimental

An experimental alternative to MarkNode for comments and other annotations: the mark ids are stored as a set-valued NodeState (markIds, a sorted array in JSON) on the leaves they cover (TextNode, LineBreakNode and inline DecoratorNode by default, see markableNodes), instead of wrapping them in a MarkNode.

  • Marks overlap freely: text covered by two comments is one TextNode with both ids, not a MarkNode split into sibling wrappers.
  • Adding or removing an id changes NodeState only; it never moves, re-creates or wraps text. (Adding or removing it on part of a TextNode splits that TextNode, and TextNodes left with the same ids merge back.)
  • The ids live on the leaves, so they travel with the text: typing inside a marked run, copying, cutting or deleting text keeps its ids with it.
  • Marked leaves are rendered with the mark (and, for more than one id, markOverlap) theme classes and a data-lexical-mark-ids attribute. With exportIDsToHTML, HTML export writes that attribute too; the @lexical/html import pipeline reads it back.
  • Text inserted at the edge of a marked run does not join it, like MarkNode; text inserted inside a run does. Text that replaces a selection also gets the ids all of the replaced text had, and pasted content keeps its own ids (pasted marked text stays marked). Text that the edit moves into a new TextNode (a hashtag, a segmented node turned into text) keeps its ids, except an id removed with $removeMarkID in the same update. A TextNode is split where its text gets different ids when its pieces stay of its own class (TextNode, or the class that replaces it); other TextNodes (a token or segmented node, a hashtag) get every id their text had.

Use $addMarkID, $removeMarkID, $getMarkIDsAtSelection and $getNodeMarkIDs to work with the ids, the markIDNodeKeys output to find the nodes of an id, and $migrateMarkNodesToMarkState to convert MarkNode documents.

Functions​

$addMarkID()​

$addMarkID(id, selection): LexicalNode[]

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkStateExtension.ts:391

Experimental

Add the mark id to every markable node in selection (TextNode, LineBreakNode and inline DecoratorNode by default, see markableNodes), including the content of the slots of the nodes in it, splitting the TextNodes at its boundaries. Ids already on those nodes are kept, so marks can overlap freely. A collapsed selection marks nothing.

Parameters​

id​

string

The mark id, for example a comment thread id. It must be a non-empty string without whitespace, otherwise this throws.

selection​

BaseSelection

The selection to mark

Returns​

LexicalNode[]

The nodes that now carry the id

$createMarkNode()​

$createMarkNode(ids?): MarkNode

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkNode.ts:200

Parameters​

ids?​

readonly string[] = NO_IDS

Returns​

MarkNode

$getMarkIDs()​

$getMarkIDs(node, offset): string[] | null

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/index.ts:144

Parameters​

node​

TextNode

offset​

number

Returns​

string[] | null

$getMarkIDsAtSelection()​

$getMarkIDsAtSelection(selection?, mode?): string[]

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkStateExtension.ts:534

Experimental

Get the mark ids at a selection, sorted. For a collapsed RangeSelection these are the ids of the leaf holding the caret (or of the next leaf, when the caret is at the end of an unmarked TextNode), like $getMarkIDs does for MarkNode. Otherwise, mode 'any' (the default) returns the ids on any selected leaf, and 'all' the ids shared by every selected leaf. The TextNodes that a RangeSelection only touches at an edge are ignored.

Parameters​

selection?​

BaseSelection | null

The selection, defaults to the current selection

mode?​

"any" | "all"

'any' or 'all', for a selection that is not collapsed

Returns​

string[]

The ids, sorted

$getNodeMarkIDs()​

$getNodeMarkIDs(node): string[]

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkStateExtension.ts:293

Experimental

Get the mark ids stored on a node by MarkStateExtension, sorted. Nodes that cannot carry ids return an empty array.

Parameters​

node​

LexicalNode

The node

Returns​

string[]

A new array of the ids, sorted, which the caller may change

$isInlineDecoratorNode()​

$isInlineDecoratorNode(node): node is DecoratorNode<unknown>

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkStateExtension.ts:219

Experimental

Inline DecoratorNodes, one of the default markableNodes of MarkStateExtension. This includes DecoratorTextNode.

Parameters​

node​

LexicalNode | null | undefined

Returns​

node is DecoratorNode<unknown>

$isMarkNode()​

$isMarkNode(node): node is MarkNode

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkNode.ts:204

Parameters​

node​

LexicalNode | null

Returns​

node is MarkNode

$migrateMarkNodesToMarkState()​

$migrateMarkNodesToMarkState(node?): number

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkStateExtension.ts:590

Experimental

Convert a document that uses MarkNode into one that uses MarkStateExtension: the ids of every MarkNode (including the ids of MarkNodes it is nested in) are added to the leaves inside it, and the MarkNode is unwrapped.

Run this once per document, before anything else edits it (for example in a headless editor): the unwrap is a structural change, and an edit made at the same time by another writer races with it as with any MarkNode edit. Like $addMarkID, it throws on an id that is empty or contains whitespace.

Parameters​

node?​

LexicalNode = ...

The subtree to convert, defaults to the root

Returns​

number

The number of MarkNodes that were unwrapped

$removeMarkID()​

$removeMarkID(id, selection?): void

Defined in: packages/lexical-mark/src/MarkStateExtension.ts:479

Experimental

Remove the mark id. With a selection it is removed from the nodes in that selection only (splitting the TextNodes at its boundaries), otherwise from the whole document (found through the markIDNodeKeys output, or by walking the document when the extension is not active). Text that no longer differs from its neighbors is merged back by normalization.

Parameters​

id​

string

The mark id

selection?​

BaseSelection | null

Limit the removal to this selection

Returns​

void

$unwrapMarkNode()​

$unwrapMarkNode(node): void
