Class: OverflowNode

@lexical/overflow.OverflowNode

Hierarchy

Constructors

constructor

new OverflowNode(key?): OverflowNode

Parameters

NameType
key?string

Returns

OverflowNode

Overrides

ElementNode.constructor

Defined in

packages/lexical-overflow/src/index.ts:40

Methods

createDOM

createDOM(config): HTMLElement

Called during the reconciliation process to determine which nodes to insert into the DOM for this Lexical Node.

This method must return exactly one HTMLElement. Nested elements are not supported.

Do not attempt to update the Lexical EditorState during this phase of the update lifecyle.

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
configEditorConfigallows access to things like the EditorTheme (to apply classes) during reconciliation.

Returns

HTMLElement

Overrides

ElementNode.createDOM

Defined in

packages/lexical-overflow/src/index.ts:52


excludeFromCopy

excludeFromCopy(): boolean

Returns

boolean

Overrides

ElementNode.excludeFromCopy

Defined in

packages/lexical-overflow/src/index.ts:73


exportJSON

exportJSON(): SerializedElementNode

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.

Returns

SerializedElementNode

Overrides

ElementNode.exportJSON

Defined in

packages/lexical-overflow/src/index.ts:45


insertNewAfter

insertNewAfter(selection, restoreSelection?): null | LexicalNode

Parameters

NameTypeDefault value
selectionRangeSelectionundefined
restoreSelectionbooleantrue

Returns

null | LexicalNode

Overrides

ElementNode.insertNewAfter

Defined in

packages/lexical-overflow/src/index.ts:65


updateDOM

updateDOM(prevNode, dom): boolean

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

NameType
prevNodethis
domHTMLElement

Returns

boolean

Overrides

ElementNode.updateDOM

Defined in

packages/lexical-overflow/src/index.ts:61


clone

clone(node): OverflowNode

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

NameType
nodeOverflowNode

Returns

OverflowNode

Overrides

ElementNode.clone

Defined in

packages/lexical-overflow/src/index.ts:28


getType

getType(): string

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

Overrides

ElementNode.getType

Defined in

packages/lexical-overflow/src/index.ts:24


importDOM

importDOM(): null

Returns

null

Overrides

ElementNode.importDOM

Defined in

packages/lexical-overflow/src/index.ts:36


importJSON

importJSON(serializedNode): OverflowNode

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

NameType
serializedNodeSerializedOverflowNode

Returns

OverflowNode

Overrides

ElementNode.importJSON

Defined in

packages/lexical-overflow/src/index.ts:32


transform

transform(): (node: LexicalNode) => void

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

fn

▸ (node): void

Parameters
NameType
nodeLexicalNode
Returns

void

Overrides

ElementNode.transform
