What is prosemirror-commands?

The prosemirror-commands package provides a set of predefined commands for manipulating the content of a ProseMirror editor. These commands cover a wide range of common editing actions, such as formatting text, inserting nodes, and manipulating the document structure.

What are prosemirror-commands's main functionalities?

Text Formatting

This feature allows you to toggle text formatting such as bold, italic, and underline. The code sample demonstrates how to create a command to toggle bold formatting using the ProseMirror schema.

const { toggleMark } = require('prosemirror-commands');
const { schema } = require('prosemirror-schema-basic');

// Example command to toggle bold formatting
const toggleBold = toggleMark(schema.marks.strong);

Node Insertion

This feature allows you to insert or change the type of nodes in the document. The code sample shows how to create a command to set a block type to a paragraph.

const { setBlockType } = require('prosemirror-commands');
const { schema } = require('prosemirror-schema-basic');

// Example command to set a paragraph block type
const setParagraph = setBlockType(schema.nodes.paragraph);

Document Manipulation

This feature provides commands for manipulating the document structure, such as joining blocks or splitting nodes. The code sample demonstrates how to create a command to join the current block with the one above it.

const { joinUp } = require('prosemirror-commands');

// Example command to join the current block with the one above it
const joinWithAbove = joinUp;

[ WEBSITE | ISSUES | FORUM | GITTER | CHANGELOG ]

ProseMirror is a well-behaved rich semantic content editor based on contentEditable, with support for collaborative editing and custom document schemas.

This module implements a number of editing commands, which are functions that abstract editing actions which can be bound to keys.

The project page has more information, a number of demos and the documentation.

NOTE: This project is in BETA stage. It isn't thoroughly tested, and the API might still change across 0.x releases. You are welcome to use it, but don't expect it to be very stable yet.

This code is released under an MIT license. There's a forum for general discussion and support requests, and the Github bug tracker is the place to report issues.
