# Transforms API
Transforms are helper functions operating on the document. They can be used in defining your own commands.
- [Node options](transforms.md#node-options)
- [Static methods](transforms.md#static-methods)
- [Node transforms](transforms.md#node-transforms)
- [Selection transforms](transforms.md#selection-transforms)
- [Text transforms](transforms.md#text-transforms)
- [Editor transforms](transforms.md#editor-transforms)
## Node options
All transforms support a parameter `options`. This includes options specific to the transform and general `NodeOptions` to specify which Nodes in the document the transform is applied to.
```typescript
interface NodeOptions {
at?: Location
match?: (node: Node, path: Location) => boolean
mode?: 'highest' | 'lowest'
voids?: boolean
}
```
- The `at` option selects a [Location](../concepts/03-locations.md) in the editor. It defaults to the user's current selection. [Learn more about the `at` option](../concepts/04-transforms.md#the-at-option)
- The `match` option filters the set of Nodes with a custom function. [Learn more about the `match` option](../concepts/04-transforms.md#the-match-option)
- The `mode` option also filters the set of nodes.
- When `voids` is false, [void Elements](./nodes/editor.md#schema-specific-instance-methods-to-override) are filtered out.
## Static methods
### Node transforms
These transforms operate on nodes.
#### `Transforms.insertFragment(editor: Editor, fragment: Node[], options?)`
Insert a fragment of nodes at the specified location or (if not defined) the current selection or (if not defined) the end of the document.
Options: `{at?: Location, hanging?: boolean, voids?: boolean}`
#### `Transforms.insertNodes(editor: Editor, nodes: Node | Node[], options?)`
Atomically inserts `nodes` at the specified location or (if not defined) the current selection or (if not defined) the end of the document.
Options supported: `NodeOptions & {hanging?: boolean, select?: boolean}`.
For example, to insert at the very end, without replacing the current selection and regardless of block nesting, use
```javascript
Transforms.insertNodes(
editor,
{ type: targetType, children: [{ text: '' }] },
{ at: [editor.children.length] }
)
```
#### `Transforms.removeNodes(editor: Editor, options?)`
Remove nodes at the specified location in the document. If no location is specified, remove the nodes in the selection.
Options supported: `NodeOptions & {hanging?: boolean}`
#### `Transforms.mergeNodes(editor: Editor, options?)`
Merge a node at the specified location with the previous node at the same depth. If no location is specified, use the selection. Resulting empty container nodes are removed.
Options supported: `NodeOptions & {hanging?: boolean}`
#### `Transforms.splitNodes(editor: Editor, options?)`
Split nodes at the specified location. If no location is specified, split the selection.
Options supported: `NodeOptions & {height?: number, always?: boolean}`
#### `Transforms.wrapNodes(editor: Editor, element: Element, options?)`
Wrap nodes at the specified location in the `element` container. If no location is specified, wrap the selection.
Options supported: `NodeOptions & {split?: boolean}`.
- `options.mode`: `'all'` is also supported.
- `options.split` indicates that it's okay to split a node in order to wrap the location. For example, if `ipsum` was selected in a `Text` node with `lorem ipsum dolar`, `split: true` would wrap the word `ipsum` only, resulting in splitting the `Text` node. If `split: false`, the entire `Text` node `lorem ipsum dolar` would be wrapped.
#### `Transforms.unwrapNodes(editor: Editor, options?)`
Unwrap nodes at the specified location. If necessary, the parent node is split. If no location is specified, use the selection.
Options supported: `NodeOptions & {split?: boolean}`. For `options.mode`, `'all'` is also supported.
#### `Transforms.setNodes(editor: Editor, props: Partial<Node>, options?)`
Set properties of nodes at the specified location. If no location is specified, use the selection.
If `props` contains `undefined` values, the node's corresponding property will also be set to `undefined` as opposed to ignored.
Options supported: `NodeOptions & {hanging?: boolean, split?: boolean}`. For `options.mode`, `'all'` is also supported.
#### `Transforms.unsetNodes(editor: Editor, props: string | string[], options?)`
Unset properties of nodes at the specified location. If no location is specified, use the selection.
Options supported: `NodeOptions & {hanging?: boolean, split?: boolean}`. For `options.mode`, `'all'` is also supported.
#### `Transforms.liftNodes(editor: Editor, options?)`
Lift nodes at the specified location upwards in the document tree. If necessary, the parent node is split. If no location is specified, use the selection.
Options supported: `NodeOptions`. For `options.mode`, `'all'` is also supported.
#### `Transforms.moveNodes(editor: Editor, options)`
Move the nodes from an origin to a destination. A destination must be specified in the `options`. If no origin is specified, move the selection.
Options supported: `NodeOptions & {to: Path}`. For `options.mode`, `'all'` is also supported.
### Selection transforms
Transforms that operate on the document's selection.
#### `Transforms.collapse(editor: Editor, options?)`
Collapse the selection to a single point.
Options: `{edge?: 'anchor' | 'focus' | 'start' | 'end'}`
#### `Transforms.select(editor: Editor, target: Location)`
Set the selection to a new value specified by `target`. When a selection already exists, this method is just a proxy for `setSelection` and will update the existing value.
For example, to set the selection to the entire contents of the editor:
```javascript
Transforms.select(editor, {
anchor: Editor.start(editor, []),
focus: Editor.end(editor, []),
})
```
#### `Transforms.deselect(editor: Editor)`
Unset the selection.
#### `Transforms.move(editor: Editor, options?)`
Move the selection's point forward or backward.
Options: `{distance?: number, unit?: 'offset' | 'character' | 'word' | 'line', reverse?: boolean, edge?: 'anchor' | 'focus' | 'start' | 'end'}`
#### `Transforms.setPoint(editor: Editor, props: Partial<Point>, options?)`
Set new properties on one of the selection's points.
Options: `{edge?: 'anchor' | 'focus' | 'start' | 'end'}`
#### `Transforms.setSelection(editor: Editor, props: Partial<Range>)`
Set new properties on an active selection. Since the value is a `Partial<Range>`, this method can only handle updates to an existing selection. If there is no active selection the operation will be void. Use `select` if you'd like to create a selection when there is none.
### Text transforms
Transforms that operate on text.
#### `Transforms.delete(editor: Editor, options?)`
Delete text in the document.
Options: `{at?: Location, distance?: number, unit?: 'character' | 'word' | 'line' | 'block', reverse?: boolean, hanging?: boolean, voids?: boolean}`
#### `Transforms.insertText(editor: Editor, text: string, options?)`
Insert a string of text at the specified location or (if not defined) the current selection or (if not defined) the end of the document.
Options: `{at?: Location, voids?: boolean}`
### Editor transforms
#### `Transforms.transform(editor: Editor, transform: Transform)`
Transform the `editor` by an `operation`.
