Returns​

Methods​

afterCloneFrom()​

afterCloneFrom(prevNode): void

Defined in: packages/lexical-link/src/LexicalLinkNode.ts:490

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;

Returns​

boolean

Overrides​

LinkNode.updateDOM

updateFromJSON()​

updateFromJSON(serializedNode): this

Defined in: packages/lexical-link/src/LexicalLinkNode.ts:549

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​

LexicalUpdateJSON<SerializedAutoLinkNode>

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);
}
}
Overrides​

Defined in: packages/lexical-link/src/LexicalLinkNode.ts:128

Parameters​

Returns​

void

Inherited from​

LinkNode.updateLinkDOM

clone()​

static clone(node): AutoLinkNode

Defined in: packages/lexical-link/src/LexicalLinkNode.ts:499

Returns​

AutoLinkNode

Overrides​

LinkNode.clone

getType()​

See Serialization & Deserialization.

Variables​

AutoLinkExtension​

const AutoLinkExtension: LexicalExtension<AutoLinkConfig, "@lexical/link/AutoLink", unknown, unknown>

Defined in: packages/lexical-link/src/LexicalAutoLinkExtension.ts:640

An extension to automatically create AutoLinkNode from text that matches the configured matchers. No default implementation is provided for any matcher, see createLinkMatcherWithRegExp for a helper function to create a matcher from a RegExp, and the Playground's AutoLinkPlugin for some example RegExps that could be used.

The given matchers and changeHandlers will be merged by concatenating the configured arrays.


ClickableLinkExtension​

const ClickableLinkExtension: LexicalExtension<ClickableLinkConfig, "@lexical/link/ClickableLink", NamedSignalsOutput<ClickableLinkConfig>, unknown>

Defined in: packages/lexical-link/src/ClickableLinkExtension.ts:133

Normally in a Lexical editor the CLICK_COMMAND on a LinkNode will cause the selection to change instead of opening a link. This extension can be used to restore the default behavior, e.g. when the editor is not editable.


LinkExtension​

const LinkExtension: LexicalExtension<LinkConfig, "@lexical/link/Link", NamedSignalsOutput<LinkConfig>, unknown>

Defined in: packages/lexical-link/src/LexicalLinkExtension.ts:148

Provides LinkNode, an implementation of TOGGLE_LINK_COMMAND, and a PASTE_COMMAND listener to wrap selected nodes in a link when a URL is pasted and validateUrl is defined.


LinkImportExtension​

const LinkImportExtension: LexicalExtension<ExtensionConfigBase, "@lexical/link/Import", unknown, unknown>

Defined in: packages/lexical-link/src/LexicalLinkExtension.ts:188

Experimental

Bundles LinkImportRules together with the runtime LinkExtension.

Deprecated​

LinkExtension now registers LinkImportRules (and CoreImportExtension) itself — depend on it directly instead.


LinkImportRules​

const LinkImportRules: DOMImportRule<ElementSelectorBuilder<HTMLAnchorElement, Record<string, never>>>[]

Defined in: packages/lexical-link/src/LinkImportExtension.ts:48

Experimental

Import rules for LinkNode.

Registered by LinkExtension itself (together with CoreImportExtension), so any editor that uses the link extension can import <a> through the DOMImportExtension pipeline without further configuration.


const TOGGLE_LINK_COMMAND: LexicalCommand<string | object & LinkAttributes | null>

Defined in: packages/lexical-link/src/LexicalLinkNode.ts:609

Functions​

$createAutoLinkNode()​

$createAutoLinkNode(url?, attributes?): AutoLinkNode

Defined in: packages/lexical-link/src/LexicalLinkNode.ts:591

AutoLinkNode

The LinkNode.

Parameters​

url?​

string = ''

The URL the LinkNode should direct to.

LinkNode

The LinkNode.
