Creating a Basic Editor

This code initializes a basic Slate editor instance. The `Editor` class is the core of Slate, and it provides the foundational methods and properties needed to build a rich text editor.

const { Editor } = require('slate');
const editor = new Editor();
console.log(editor);

Handling User Input

This code demonstrates how to handle user input by inserting text into the editor. The `Transforms` module provides various methods to manipulate the editor's content.

const { Editor, Transforms } = require('slate');
const editor = new Editor();
Transforms.insertText(editor, 'Hello, Slate!');
console.log(editor.children);

Custom Elements and Marks

This code shows how to define custom elements and marks. In this example, a custom text node with a bold mark is created and added to the editor's content.

const { Editor, Text } = require('slate');
const editor = new Editor();
const customText = { text: 'Custom Text', bold: true };
editor.children = [{ type: 'paragraph', children: [customText] }];
console.log(editor.children);

Plugins

This code demonstrates how to extend the editor's functionality using plugins. The `withCustomPlugin` function wraps the editor and overrides the `insertText` method to add custom behavior.

const { Editor } = require('slate');
const withCustomPlugin = editor => {
  const { insertText } = editor;
  editor.insertText = text => {
    console.log('Inserting text:', text);
    insertText(text);
  };
  return editor;
};
const editor = withCustomPlugin(new Editor());
editor.insertText('Hello, Plugins!');
