EditorChangeType

EditorChangeType is an enum that lists the possible set of change operations that can be handled the Draft model. It is represented as a Flow type, as a union of strings.

It is passed as a parameter to EditorState.push, and denotes the type of change operation that is being performed by transitioning to the new ContentState.

Behind the scenes, this value is used to determine appropriate undo/redo handling, spellcheck behavior, and more. Therefore, while it is possible to provide an arbitrary string value as the changeType parameter here, you should avoid doing so.

We highly recommend that you install Flow to perform static typechecking on your project. Flow will enforce the use of an appropriate EditorChangeType value.

Values

adjust-depth

The depth value of one or more ContentBlock objects is being changed.

apply-entity

An entity is being applied (or removed via null) to one or more characters.

backspace-character

A single character is being backward-removed.

change-block-data

The data value of one or more ContentBlock objects is being changed.

change-block-type

The type value of one or more ContentBlock objects is being changed.

change-inline-style

An inline style is being applied or removed for one or more characters.

move-block

A block is being moved within the BlockMap.

delete-character

A single character is being forward-removed.

insert-characters

One or more characters is being inserted at a selection state.

insert-fragment

A "fragment" of content (i.e. a BlockMap) is being inserted at a selection state.

redo

A redo operation is being performed. Since redo behavior is handled by the Draft core, it is unlikely that you will need to use this explicitly.

remove-range

Multiple characters or blocks are being removed.

spellcheck-change

A spellcheck or autocorrect change is being performed. This is used to inform the core editor whether to try to allow native undo behavior.

split-block

A single ContentBlock is being split into two, for instance when the user presses return.

undo

An undo operation is being performed. Since undo behavior is handled by the Draft core, it is unlikely that you will need to use this explicitly.
