Expand description
A model for text documents.
This model is thought as a backend for a text UI. TextDocument can’t be modified directly by the user, only for setting the whole document with set_plain_text(...).
The user must use a TextCursor using document.create_cursor() to make any change.
§Document structure
§Elements
Frame: contains Block elements and other Frame elements, formatable with FrameFormatBlock: contains Text elements or Image elements, formatable with BlockFormatText: contains the actuel text, formatable with TextFormatImage: represent the position of an image, formatable with ImageFormat
All these items are encapsulated in its corresponding Element for ease of storage.
§The simpler plain text

Each modification is signaled using callbacks. TextDocument offers different ways to make your code aware of any change:
-
TextDocument::add_text_change_callback()Give the number of removed characters and number of added characters with the reference of a cursor position.
-
TextDocument::add_element_change_callback()Give the modified element with the reason. If two direct children elements changed at the same time.
§Examples
use text_document::{TextDocument, ChangeReason, MoveMode};
let mut document = TextDocument::new();
document.add_text_change_callback(|position, removed_characters, added_characters|{
println!("position: {}, removed_characters: {}, added_characters: {}", position, removed_characters, added_characters);
} );
document.add_element_change_callback(|element, reason|{
assert_eq!(element.uuid(), 0);
assert_eq!(reason, ChangeReason::ChildrenChanged );
} );
document.set_plain_text("beginningend").unwrap();
let mut cursor = document.create_cursor();
cursor.set_position(9, MoveMode::MoveAnchor);
cursor.insert_plain_text("new\nplain_text\ntest");
