Usage

Render by selection

 
// obtain a selection from document
var selection = document.getSelection();
 
// create a new rendering based on the current document
var renderer = new Marklib.Rendering(document, options, context)
renderer.setId('myRenderId') // if an ID is not provided, a autogenerated one will be used
 
// renders the given selection and returns a result (`RenderResult`).
var result = renderer.renderWithRange(selection.getRangeAt(0));
 

Important: After a Rendering has been used to render a selection/serialized result, it can't be used to render something again. You need to create a new Instance of Rendering.

Options

You can pass options to each rendering instance, the following shows the default options

 
var renderer = new Marklib.Rendering(document, {
            hoverClass: 'marklib--hover',
            treeClass: 'marklib--tree',
            // Supports arrays and/or strings
            className: ['marking']
});
 

Events

Marklib triggers events that can be listened to with instance.on('event-name'). Events are build with wolfy87-eventemitter (https://github.com/Olical/EventEmitter). The following Events are available:

Before you can actually receive events, you need to register the event handler with registerEvents (use import { registerEvents } from 'marklib/src/main/RenderingEvents'; on your application bootstrap code.)

Event-Name Description Arguments
click triggered when clicked on a marking. (originalEvent, instanceHierarchy)
hover-enter triggered when a pointer-device starts hovering over a marking (originalEvent, instanceHierarchy)
hover-leave triggered when a pointer-device leaves a marking (originalEvent, instanceHierarchy)

Additionally, marklib will add hover classes to the current hovered marking.

Constructor Arguments

    1. HTMLDocument document -> the document instance used
    1. Object [options], optional -> an object containing setting for marklib (see Options)
    1. HTMLElement [context], optional -> the context used to serialize / deserialize the rendering, if not given the document instance.

Render by serialized result

A Serialized results consist of 2 strings (start end end) in the following form


'body>section;0;1'`
-▲------------▲-▲ 

  • ▲ The first part defines a css-selector (queryable with document.querySelector).
  • ▲ The second part defines the text-node inside the given selector
  • ▲ The third part defines the string-offset inside this text-node

Example

 
 // This is the result we get from `RenderResult#serialize()`
 
 var result = {
    startContainerPath: 'body>section;0',
    endContainerPath: 'body>section;1',
    startOffset: 2,
    endOffset: 5
 }
 
 var rendering = new Marklib.Rendering(document);
 
 rendering.renderWithResult(result);
