Value

import { Value } from 'slate'

A Value is the top-level representation of data in Slate, containing both a Document and a selection Range. It's what you need to pass into the Slate <Editor> to render something onto the page.

All changes to the document and selection are also performed through the value object, so that they can stay in sync, and be propagated to its internal history of undo/redo value.

For convenience, in addition to changes, many of the selection and document properties are exposed as proxies on the Value object.

Properties

Value({
  document: Document,
  selection: Range,
  history: History,
  schema: Schema,
  data: Data,
  decorations: List<Ranges>|Null,
})

data

decorations

List<Ranges>|Null

A list of ranges in the document with marks that aren't part of the content itself—like matches for the current search string.

document

Document

The current document of the value.

history

History

An object that stores the history of changes.

object

String

A string with a value of 'value'.

schema

Schema

An object representing the schema of the value's document.

Computed Properties

These properties aren't supplied when creating a Value, but are instead computed based on the current document and selection.

marks

Set

Get a set of the Marks in the current selection.
