prosekit/pm/model

Re-exports from prosemirror-model.

Instances of this class represent a match state of a node type’s content expression, and can be used to find out whether further content matches here, and whether a given position is a valid end of the node.

new ContentMatch(): ContentMatch

readonly validEnd: boolean

True when this match state represents a valid end of the node.

get defaultType(): null | NodeType

Get the first matching node type at this match position that can be generated.

null | NodeType

get edgeCount(): number

The number of outgoing edges this node has in the finite automaton that describes the content expression.

number

edge(n: number): MatchEdge

Get the _n_​th outgoing edge from this node in the finite automaton that describes the content expression.

fillBefore(after: ProseMirrorFragment, toEnd?: boolean, startIndex?: number): null | ProseMirrorFragment

Try to match the given fragment, and if that fails, see if it can be made to match by inserting nodes in front of it. When successful, return a fragment of inserted nodes (which may be empty if nothing had to be inserted). When toEnd is true, only return a fragment if the resulting match goes to the end of the content expression.

findWrapping(target: NodeType): null | readonly NodeType[]

Find a set of wrapping node types that would allow a node of the given type to appear at this position. The result may be empty (when it fits directly) and will be null when no such wrapping exists.

matchFragment(frag: ProseMirrorFragment, start?: number, end?: number): null | ContentMatch

Try to match a fragment. Returns the resulting match when successful.

matchType(type: NodeType): null | ContentMatch

Match a node type, returning a match after that node if successful.


A DOM parser represents a strategy for parsing DOM content into a ProseMirror document conforming to a given schema. Its behavior is defined by an array of rules.

new DOMParser(schema: Schema, rules: readonly ParseRule[]): DOMParser

Create a parser that targets the given schema, using the given parsing rules.

readonly rules: readonly ParseRule[]

The set of parse rules that the parser uses, in order of precedence.

readonly schema: Schema

The schema into which the parser parses.

parse(dom: Node, options?: ParseOptions): ProseMirrorNode

Parse a document from the content of a DOM node.

parseSlice(dom: Node, options?: ParseOptions): Slice

Parses the content of the given DOM node, like parse, and takes the same set of options. But unlike that method, which produces a whole node, this one returns a slice that is open at the sides, meaning that the schema constraints aren’t applied to the start of nodes to the left of the input and the end of nodes at the end.

static fromSchema(schema: Schema): DOMParser

Construct a DOM parser using the parsing rules listed in a schema’s node specs, reordered by priority.


A DOM serializer knows how to convert ProseMirror nodes and marks of various types to DOM nodes.

new DOMSerializer(nodes: object, marks: object): DOMSerializer

Create a serializer. nodes should map node names to functions that take a node and return a description of the corresponding DOM. marks does the same for mark names, but also gets an argument that tells it whether the mark’s content is block or inline content (for typical use, it’ll always be inline). A mark serializer may be null to indicate that marks of that type should not be serialized.

readonly marks: object

The mark serialization functions.

readonly nodes: object

The node serialization functions.

serializeFragment(fragment: ProseMirrorFragment, options?: object, target?: HTMLElement | DocumentFragment): HTMLElement | DocumentFragment

Serialize the content of this fragment to a DOM fragment. When not in the browser, the document option, containing a DOM document, should be passed so that the serializer can create nodes.

serializeNode(node: ProseMirrorNode, options?: object): Node

Serialize this node to a DOM node. This can be useful when you need to serialize a part of a document, as opposed to the whole document. To serialize a whole document, use serializeFragment on its content.

static fromSchema(schema: Schema): DOMSerializer

Build a serializer using the toDOM properties in a schema’s node and mark specs.

static marksFromSchema(schema: Schema): object

Gather the serializers in a schema’s mark specs into an object.

static nodesFromSchema(schema: Schema): object

Gather the serializers in a schema’s node specs into an object. This can be useful as a base to build a custom serializer from.

static renderSpec(doc: Document, structure: DOMOutputSpec, xmlNS?: null | string): object

Render an output spec to a DOM node. If the spec has a hole (zero) in it, contentDOM will point at the node with the hole.


A mark is a piece of information that can be attached to a node, such as it being emphasized, in code font, or a link. It has a type and optionally a set of attributes that provide further information (such as the target of the link). Marks are created through a Schema, which controls which types exist and which attributes they have.

new Mark(): Mark

readonly attrs: Attrs

The attributes associated with this mark.

readonly type: MarkType

The type of this mark.

static none: readonly Mark[]

The empty set of marks.

addToSet(set: readonly Mark[]): readonly Mark[]

Given a set of marks, create a new set which contains this one as well, in the right position. If this mark is already in the set, the set itself is returned. If any marks that are set to be exclusive with this mark are present, those are replaced by this one.

eq(other: Mark): boolean

Test whether this mark has the same type and attributes as another mark.

isInSet(set: readonly Mark[]): boolean

Test whether this mark is in the given set of marks.

removeFromSet(set: readonly Mark[]): readonly Mark[]

Remove this mark from the given set, returning a new set. If this mark is not in the set, the set itself is returned.

toJSON(): any

Convert this mark to a JSON-serializeable representation.

static fromJSON(schema: Schema, json: any): Mark

Deserialize a mark from JSON.

static sameSet(a: readonly Mark[], b: readonly Mark[]): boolean

Test whether two sets of marks are identical.

static setFrom(marks?: null | Mark | readonly Mark[]): readonly Mark[]

Create a properly sorted mark set from null, a single mark, or an unsorted array of marks.


Like nodes, marks (which are associated with nodes to signify things like emphasis or being part of a link) are tagged with type objects, which are instantiated once per Schema.

new MarkType(): MarkType

readonly name: string

The name of the mark type.

readonly schema: Schema

The schema that this mark type instance is part of.

readonly spec: MarkSpec

The spec on which the type is based.

create(attrs?: null | Attrs): Mark

Create a mark of this type. attrs may be null or an object containing only some of the mark’s attributes. The others, if they have defaults, will be added.

excludes(other: MarkType): boolean

Queries whether a given mark type is excluded by this one.

isInSet(set: readonly Mark[]): undefined | Mark

Tests whether there is a mark of this type in the given set.

removeFromSet(set: readonly Mark[]): readonly Mark[]

When there is a mark of this type in the given set, a new set without it is returned. Otherwise, the input set is returned.


Represents a flat range of content, i.e. one that starts and ends in the same node.

new NodeRange($from: ResolvedPos, $to: ResolvedPos, depth: number): NodeRange

Construct a node range. $from and $to should point into the same node until at least the given depth, since a node range denotes an adjacent set of nodes in a single parent node.

readonly $from: ResolvedPos

A resolved position along the start of the content. May have a depth greater than this object’s depth property, since these are the positions that were used to compute the range, not re-resolved positions directly at its boundaries.

readonly $to: ResolvedPos

A position along the end of the content. See caveat for $from.

readonly depth: number

The depth of the node that this range points into.

get end(): number

The position at the end of the range.

number

get endIndex(): number

The end index of the range in the parent node.

number

get parent(): ProseMirrorNode

The parent node that the range points into.

ProseMirrorNode

get start(): number

The position at the start of the range.

number

get startIndex(): number

The start index of the range in the parent node.

number


Node types are objects allocated once per Schema and used to tag Node instances. They contain information about the node type, such as its name and what kind of node it represents.

new NodeType(): NodeType

contentMatch: ContentMatch

The starting match of the node type’s content expression.

inlineContent: boolean

True if this node type has inline content.

isBlock: boolean

True if this is a block type

isText: boolean

True if this is the text node type.

markSet: null | readonly MarkType[]

The set of marks allowed in this node. null means all marks are allowed.

readonly name: string

The name the node type has in this schema.

readonly schema: Schema

A link back to the Schema the node type belongs to.

readonly spec: NodeSpec

The spec that this type is based on

get isAtom(): boolean

True when this node is an atom, i.e. when it does not have directly editable content.

boolean

get isInline(): boolean

True if this is an inline type.

boolean

get isLeaf(): boolean

True for node types that allow no content.

boolean

get isTextblock(): boolean

True if this is a textblock type, a block that contains inline content.

boolean

get whitespace(): "pre" | "normal"

The node type’s whitespace option.

"pre" | "normal"

allowedMarks(marks: readonly Mark[]): readonly Mark[]

Removes the marks that are not allowed in this node from the given set.

allowsMarks(marks: readonly Mark[]): boolean

Test whether the given set of marks are allowed in this node.

allowsMarkType(markType: MarkType): boolean

Check whether the given mark type is allowed in this node.

compatibleContent(other: NodeType): boolean

Indicates whether this node allows some of the same content as the given node type.

create(attrs?: null | Attrs, content?: null | ProseMirrorNode | ProseMirrorFragment | readonly ProseMirrorNode[], marks?: readonly Mark[]): ProseMirrorNode

Create a Node of this type. The given attributes are checked and defaulted (you can pass null to use the type’s defaults entirely, if no required attributes exist). content may be a Fragment, a node, an array of nodes, or null. Similarly marks may be null to default to the empty set of marks.

createAndFill(attrs?: null | Attrs, content?: null | ProseMirrorNode | ProseMirrorFragment | readonly ProseMirrorNode[], marks?: readonly Mark[]): null | ProseMirrorNode

Like create, but see if it is necessary to add nodes to the start or end of the given fragment to make it fit the node. If no fitting wrapping can be found, return null. Note that, due to the fact that required nodes can always be created, this will always succeed if you pass null or Fragment.empty as content.

createChecked(attrs?: null | Attrs, content?: null | ProseMirrorNode | ProseMirrorFragment | readonly ProseMirrorNode[], marks?: readonly Mark[]): ProseMirrorNode

Like create, but check the given content against the node type’s content restrictions, and throw an error if it doesn’t match.

hasRequiredAttrs(): boolean

Tells you whether this node type has any required attributes.

isInGroup(group: string): boolean

Return true when this node type is part of the given group.

validContent(content: ProseMirrorFragment): boolean

Returns true if the given fragment is valid content for this node type.


A fragment represents a node’s collection of child nodes.

Like nodes, fragments are persistent data structures, and you should not mutate them or their content. Rather, you create new instances whenever needed. The API tries to make this easy.

new ProseMirrorFragment(): ProseMirrorFragment

readonly content: readonly ProseMirrorNode[]

The child nodes in this fragment.

readonly size: number

The size of the fragment, which is the total of the size of its content nodes.

static empty: ProseMirrorFragment

number

get firstChild(): null | ProseMirrorNode

The first child of the fragment, or null if it is empty.

null | ProseMirrorNode

get lastChild(): null | ProseMirrorNode

Cut out the sub-fragment between the two given positions.

descendants(f: (node: ProseMirrorNode, pos: number, parent: null | ProseMirrorNode, index: number) => boolean | void): void

Call the given callback for every descendant node. pos will be relative to the start of the fragment. The callback may return false to prevent traversal of a given node’s children.

eq(other: ProseMirrorFragment): boolean

Compare this fragment to another one.

findDiffEnd(other: ProseMirrorFragment, pos?: number, otherPos?: number): null | { a: number; b: number; }

Find the first position, searching from the end, at which this fragment and the given fragment differ, or null if they are the same. Since this position will not be the same in both nodes, an object with two separate positions is returned.

findDiffStart(other: ProseMirrorFragment, pos?: number): null | number

Find the first position at which this fragment and another fragment differ, or null if they are the same.

forEach(f: (node: ProseMirrorNode, offset: number, index: number) => void): void

Call f for every child node, passing the node, its offset into this parent node, and its index.

maybeChild(index: number): null | ProseMirrorNode

Get the child node at the given index, if it exists.

nodesBetween(from: number, to: number, f: (node: ProseMirrorNode, start: number, parent: null | ProseMirrorNode, index: number) => boolean | void, nodeStart?: number, parent?: ProseMirrorNode): void

Invoke a callback for all descendant nodes between the given two positions (relative to start of this fragment). Doesn’t descend into a node when the callback returns false.

replaceChild(index: number, node: ProseMirrorNode): ProseMirrorFragment

Create a new fragment in which the node at the given index is replaced by the given node.

textBetween(from: number, to: number, blockSeparator?: null | string, leafText?: null | string | (leafNode: ProseMirrorNode) => string): string

Extract the text between from and to. See the same method on Node.

toJSON(): any

Create a JSON-serializeable representation of this fragment.

toString(): string

Return a debugging string that describes this fragment.

static from(nodes?: null | ProseMirrorNode | ProseMirrorFragment | readonly ProseMirrorNode[]): ProseMirrorFragment

Create a fragment from something that can be interpreted as a set of nodes. For null, it returns the empty fragment. For a fragment, the fragment itself. For a node or array of nodes, a fragment containing those nodes.

static fromArray(array: readonly ProseMirrorNode[]): ProseMirrorFragment

Build a fragment from an array of nodes. Ensures that adjacent text nodes with the same marks are joined together.

static fromJSON(schema: Schema, value: any): ProseMirrorFragment

Deserialize a fragment from its JSON representation.


This class represents a node in the tree that makes up a ProseMirror document. So a document is an instance of Node, with children that are also instances of Node.

Nodes are persistent data structures. Instead of changing them, you create new ones with the content you want. Old ones keep pointing at the old document shape. This is made cheaper by sharing structure between the old and new data as much as possible, which a tree shape like this (without back pointers) makes easy.

Do not directly mutate the properties of a Node object. See the guide for more information.

new ProseMirrorNode(): ProseMirrorNode

readonly attrs: Attrs

An object mapping attribute names to values. The kind of attributes allowed and required are determined by the node type.

readonly content: ProseMirrorFragment

boolean

get isBlock(): boolean

True when this is a block (non-inline node)

The size of this node, as defined by the integer-based indexing scheme. For text nodes, this is the amount of characters. For other leaf nodes, it is one. For non-leaf nodes, it is the size of the content plus two (the start and end token).

number

get textContent(): string

Concatenates all the text nodes found in this fragment and its children.

string

canAppend(other: ProseMirrorNode): boolean

Test whether the given node’s content could be appended to this node. If that node is empty, this will only return true if there is at least one node type that can appear in both nodes (to avoid merging completely incompatible nodes).

canReplace(from: number, to: number, replacement?: ProseMirrorFragment, start?: number, end?: number): boolean

Test whether replacing the range between from and to (by child index) with the given replacement fragment (which defaults to the empty fragment) would leave the node’s content valid. You can optionally pass start and end indices into the replacement fragment.

canReplaceWith(from: number, to: number, type: NodeType, marks?: readonly Mark[]): boolean

Test whether replacing the range from to to (by index) with a node of the given type would leave the node’s content valid.

check(): void

Check whether this node and its descendants conform to the schema, and raise an exception when they do not.

child(index: number): ProseMirrorNode

Get the child node at the given index. Raises an error when the index is out of range.

childAfter(pos: number): object

Find the (direct) child node after the given offset, if any, and return it along with its index and offset relative to this node.

Create a new node with the same markup as this node, containing the given content (or empty, if no content is given).

cut(from: number, to?: number): ProseMirrorNode

Create a copy of this node with only the content between the given positions. If to is not given, it defaults to the end of the node.

descendants(f: (node: ProseMirrorNode, pos: number, parent: null | ProseMirrorNode, index: number) => boolean | void): void

Call f for every child node, passing the node, its offset into this parent node, and its index.

hasMarkup(type: NodeType, attrs?: null | Attrs, marks?: readonly Mark[]): boolean

Check whether this node’s markup correspond to the given type, attributes, and marks.

mark(marks: readonly Mark[]): ProseMirrorNode

Create a copy of this node, with the given set of marks instead of the node’s own marks.

Invoke a callback for all descendant nodes recursively between the given two positions that are relative to start of this node’s content. The callback is invoked with the node, its position relative to the original node (method receiver), its parent node, and its child index. When the callback returns false for a given node, that node’s children will not be recursed over. The last parameter can be used to specify a starting position to count from.

rangeHasMark(from: number, to: number, type: MarkType | Mark): boolean

Test whether a given mark or mark type occurs in this document between the two given positions.

replace(from: number, to: number, slice: Slice): ProseMirrorNode

Replace the part of the document between the given positions with the given slice. The slice must ‘fit’, meaning its open sides must be able to connect to the surrounding content, and its content nodes must be valid children for the node they are placed into. If any of this is violated, an error of type ReplaceError is thrown.

resolve(pos: number): ResolvedPos

Resolve the given position in the document, returning an object with information about its context.

sameMarkup(other: ProseMirrorNode): boolean

Compare the markup (type, attributes, and marks) of this node to those of another. Returns true if both have the same markup.

Error.constructor

new ReplaceError(message?: string, options?: ErrorOptions): ReplaceError

Error.constructor


You can resolve a position to get more information about it. Objects of this class represent such a resolved position, providing various pieces of context information, and some helper methods.

Throughout this interface, methods that take an optional depth parameter will interpret undefined as this.depth and negative numbers as this.depth + value.

new ResolvedPos(): ResolvedPos

depth: number

The number of levels the parent node is from the root. If this position points directly into the root node, it is 0. If it points into a top-level paragraph, 1, and so on.

readonly parentOffset: number

The offset this position has into its parent node.

readonly pos: number

The position that was resolved.

get doc(): ProseMirrorNode

The root node in which the position was resolved.

ProseMirrorNode

get nodeAfter(): null | ProseMirrorNode

Get the node directly after the position, if any. If the position points into a text node, only the part of that node after the position is returned.

null | ProseMirrorNode

get nodeBefore(): null | ProseMirrorNode

Get the node directly before the position, if any. If the position points into a text node, only the part of that node before the position is returned.

null | ProseMirrorNode

get parent(): ProseMirrorNode

The parent node that the position points into. Note that even if a position points into a text node, that node is not considered the parent—text nodes are ‘flat’ in this model, and have no content.

ProseMirrorNode

get textOffset(): number

When this position points into a text node, this returns the distance between the position and the start of the text node. Will be zero for positions that point between nodes.

number

after(depth?: null | number): number

The (absolute) position directly after the wrapping node at the given level, or the original position when depth is this.depth + 1.

before(depth?: null | number): number

The (absolute) position directly before the wrapping node at the given level, or, when depth is this.depth + 1, the original position.

blockRange(other?: ResolvedPos, pred?: (node: ProseMirrorNode) => boolean): null | NodeRange

Returns a range based on the place where this position and the given position diverge around block content. If both point into the same textblock, for example, a range around that textblock will be returned. If they point into different blocks, the range around those blocks in their shared ancestor is returned. You can pass in an optional predicate that will be called with a parent node to see if a range into that parent is acceptable.

end(depth?: null | number): number

The (absolute) position at the end of the node at the given level.

index(depth?: null | number): number

The index into the ancestor at the given level. If this points at the 3rd node in the 2nd paragraph on the top level, for example, p.index(0) is 1 and p.index(1) is 2.

indexAfter(depth?: null | number): number

The index pointing after this position into the ancestor at the given level.

marks(): readonly Mark[]

Get the marks at this position, factoring in the surrounding marks’ inclusive property. If the position is at the start of a non-empty node, the marks of the node after it (if any) are returned.

marksAcross($end: ResolvedPos): null | readonly Mark[]

Get the marks after the current position, if any, except those that are non-inclusive and not present at position $end. This is mostly useful for getting the set of marks to preserve after a deletion. Will return null if this position is at the end of its parent node or its parent node isn’t a textblock (in which case no marks should be preserved).

max(other: ResolvedPos): ResolvedPos

Return the greater of this and the given position.

min(other: ResolvedPos): ResolvedPos

Return the smaller of this and the given position.

node(depth?: null | number): ProseMirrorNode

The ancestor node at the given level. p.node(p.depth) is the same as p.parent.

posAtIndex(index: number, depth?: null | number): number

Get the position at the given index in the parent node at the given depth (which defaults to this.depth).

sameParent(other: ResolvedPos): boolean

Query whether the given position shares the same parent node.

sharedDepth(pos: number): number

The depth up to which this position and the given (non-resolved) position share the same parent nodes.

start(depth?: null | number): number

The (absolute) position at the start of the node at the given level.


A document schema. Holds node and mark type objects for the nodes and marks that may occur in conforming documents, and provides functionality for creating and deserializing such documents.

When given, the type parameters provide the names of the nodes and marks in this schema.

Type Parameter Default type

Nodes extends string

any

Marks extends string

any

new Schema<Nodes, Marks>(spec: SchemaSpec<Nodes, Marks>): Schema<Nodes, Marks>

Construct a schema from a schema specification.

cached: object

An object for storing whatever values modules may want to compute and cache per schema. (If you want to store something in it, try to use property names unlikely to clash.)

linebreakReplacement: null | NodeType

The linebreak replacement node defined in this schema, if any.

marks: { readonly [name in string]: MarkType } & object

A map from mark names to mark type objects.

nodes: { readonly [name in string]: NodeType } & object

An object mapping the schema’s node names to node type objects.

spec: object

The spec on which the schema is based, with the added guarantee that its nodes and marks properties are OrderedMap instances (not raw objects).

topNodeType: NodeType

The type of the default top node for this schema.

mark(type: string | MarkType, attrs?: null | Attrs): Mark

Create a mark with the given type and attributes.

markFromJSON(json: any): Mark

Deserialize a mark from its JSON representation. This method is bound.

node(type: string | NodeType, attrs?: null | Attrs, content?: ProseMirrorNode | ProseMirrorFragment | readonly ProseMirrorNode[], marks?: readonly Mark[]): ProseMirrorNode

Create a node in this schema. The type may be a string or a NodeType instance. Attributes will be extended with defaults, content may be a Fragment, null, a Node, or an array of nodes.

nodeFromJSON(json: any): ProseMirrorNode

Deserialize a node from its JSON representation. This method is bound.

text(text: string, marks?: null | readonly Mark[]): ProseMirrorNode

Create a text node in the schema. Empty text nodes are not allowed.


A slice represents a piece cut out of a larger document. It stores not only a fragment, but also the depth up to which nodes on both side are ‘open’ (cut through).

new Slice(content: ProseMirrorFragment, openStart: number, openEnd: number): Slice

Create a slice. When specifying a non-zero open depth, you must make sure that there are nodes of at least that depth at the appropriate side of the fragment—i.e. if the fragment is an empty paragraph node, openStart and openEnd can’t be greater than 1.

It is not necessary for the content of open nodes to conform to the schema’s content constraints, though it should be a valid start/end/middle for such a node, depending on which sides are open.

readonly content: ProseMirrorFragment

The slice’s content.

readonly openEnd: number

The open depth at the end.

readonly openStart: number

The open depth at the start of the fragment.

static empty: Slice

The empty slice.

get size(): number

The size this slice would add when inserted into a document.

number

eq(other: Slice): boolean

Tests whether this slice is equal to another slice.

toJSON(): any

Convert a slice to a JSON-serializable representation.

static fromJSON(schema: Schema, json: any): Slice

Deserialize a slice from its JSON representation.

static maxOpen(fragment: ProseMirrorFragment, openIsolating?: boolean): Slice

Create a slice from a fragment by taking the maximum possible open value on both side of the fragment.

Used to define attributes on nodes or marks.

default?: any

The default value for this attribute, to use when no explicit value is provided. Attributes that have no default must be provided whenever a node or mark of a type that has them is created.

splittable?: boolean

Indicates if the block can be split using the splitBlockAs command.

When splittable is set to true, splitting the block with the splitSplittableBlock command will pass this attribute to the newly created block. This new block may be of a different type than the original.

If multiple block types in the schema share the same splittable attribute, ensure they are compatible in type and definition. This compatibility allows the attribute value to be correctly inherited across different block types.

validate?: string | (value: any) => void

A function or type name used to validate values of this attribute. This will be used when deserializing the attribute from JSON, and when running Node.check. When a function, it should raise an exception if the value isn’t of the expected type or shape. When a string, it should be a |-separated string of primitive types ("number", "string", "boolean", "null", and "undefined"), and the library will raise an error when the value is not one of those types.


Fields that may be present in both tag and style parse rules.

attrs?: Attrs

Attributes for the node or mark created by this rule. When getAttrs is provided, it takes precedence.

closeParent?: boolean

When true, finding an element that matches this rule will close the current node.

consuming?: boolean

By default, when a rule matches an element or style, no further rules get a chance to match it. By setting this to false, you indicate that even when this rule matches, other rules that come after it should also run.

context?: string

When given, restricts this rule to only match when the current context—the parent nodes into which the content is being parsed—matches this expression. Should contain one or more node names or node group names followed by single or double slashes. For example "paragraph/" means the rule only matches when the parent node is a paragraph, "blockquote/paragraph/" restricts it to be in a paragraph that is inside a blockquote, and "section//" matches any position inside a section—a double slash matches any sequence of ancestor nodes. To allow multiple different contexts, they can be separated by a pipe (|) character, as in "blockquote/|list_item/".

ignore?: boolean

When true, ignore content that matches this rule.

mark?: string

The name of the mark type to wrap the matched content in.

priority?: number

Can be used to change the order in which the parse rules in a schema are tried. Those with higher priority come first. Rules without a priority are counted as having priority 50. This property is only meaningful in a schema—when directly constructing a parser, the order of the rule array is used.

?: boolean

When true, ignore the node that matches this rule, but do parse its content.


Used to define marks when creating a schema.

[key: string]: any

Mark specs can include additional properties that can be inspected through MarkType.spec when working with the mark.

attrs?: object

The attributes that marks of this type get.

code?: boolean

Marks the content of this span as being code, which causes some commands and extensions to treat it differently.

excludes?: string

Determines which other marks this mark can coexist with. Should be a space-separated strings naming other marks or groups of marks. When a mark is added to a set, all marks that it excludes are removed in the process. If the set contains any mark that excludes the new mark but is not, itself, excluded by the new mark, the mark can not be added an the set. You can use the value "_" to indicate that the mark excludes all marks in the schema.

Defaults to only being exclusive with marks of the same type. You can set it to an empty string (or any string not containing the mark’s own name) to allow multiple marks of a given type to coexist (as long as they have different attributes).

group?: string

The group or space-separated groups to which this mark belongs.

inclusive?: boolean

Whether this mark should be active when the cursor is positioned at its end (or at its start when that is also the start of the parent node). Defaults to true.

parseDOM?: readonly ParseRule[]

Associates DOM parser information with this mark (see the corresponding node spec field). The mark field in the rules is implied.

spanning?: boolean

Determines whether marks of this type can span multiple adjacent nodes when serialized to DOM/HTML. Defaults to true.

toDOM?: (mark: Mark, inline: boolean) => DOMOutputSpec

Defines the default way marks of this type should be serialized to DOM/HTML. When the resulting spec contains a hole, that is where the marked content is placed. Otherwise, it is appended to the top node.


A description of a node type, used when defining a schema.

[key: string]: any

Node specs may include arbitrary properties that can be read by other code via NodeType.spec.

atom?: boolean

Can be set to true to indicate that, though this isn’t a leaf node, it doesn’t have directly editable content and should be treated as a single unit in the view.

attrs?: object

The attributes that nodes of this type get.

code?: boolean

Can be used to indicate that this node contains code, which causes some commands to behave differently.

content?: string

The content expression for this node, as described in the schema guide. When not given, the node does not allow any content.

defining?: boolean

When enabled, enables both definingAsContext and definingForContent.

definingAsContext?: boolean

Determines whether this node is considered an important parent node during replace operations (such as paste). Non-defining (the default) nodes get dropped when their entire content is replaced, whereas defining nodes persist and wrap the inserted content.

definingForContent?: boolean

In inserted content the defining parents of the content are preserved when possible. Typically, non-default-paragraph textblock types, and possibly list items, are marked as defining.

disableDropCursor?: boolean | (view: EditorView, pos: object, event: DragEvent) => boolean

draggable?: boolean

Determines whether nodes of this type can be dragged without being selected. Defaults to false.

group?: string

The group or space-separated groups to which this node belongs, which can be referred to in the content expressions for the schema.

inline?: boolean

Should be set to true for inline nodes. (Implied for text nodes.)

isolating?: boolean

When enabled (default is false), the sides of nodes of this type count as boundaries that regular editing operations, like backspacing or lifting, won’t cross. An example of a node that should probably have this enabled is a table cell.

leafText?: (node: ProseMirrorNode) => string

Defines the default way a leaf node of this type should be serialized to a string (as used by Node.textBetween and Node.textContent).

linebreakReplacement?: boolean

A single inline node in a schema can be set to be a linebreak equivalent. When converting between block types that support the node and block types that don’t but have whitespace set to "pre", setBlockType will convert between newline characters to or from linebreak nodes as appropriate.

marks?: string

The marks that are allowed inside of this node. May be a space-separated string referring to mark names or groups, "_" to explicitly allow all marks, or "" to disallow marks. When not given, nodes with inline content default to allowing all marks, other nodes default to not allowing marks.

parseDOM?: readonly TagParseRule[]

Associates DOM parser information with this node, which can be used by DOMParser.fromSchema to automatically derive a parser. The node field in the rules is implied (the name of this node will be filled in automatically). If you supply your own parser, you do not need to also specify parsing rules in your schema.

selectable?: boolean

Controls whether nodes of this type can be selected as a node selection. Defaults to true for non-text nodes.

toDebugString?: (node: ProseMirrorNode) => string

Defines the default way a node of this type should be serialized to a string representation for debugging (e.g. in error messages).

toDOM?: (node: ProseMirrorNode) => DOMOutputSpec

Defines the default way a node of this type should be serialized to DOM/HTML (as used by DOMSerializer.fromSchema). Should return a DOM node or an array structure that describes one, with an optional number zero (“hole”) in it to indicate where the node’s content should be inserted.

For text nodes, the default is to create a text DOM node. Though it is possible to create a serializer where text is rendered differently, this is not supported inside the editor, so you shouldn’t override that in your text node spec.

whitespace?: "pre" | "normal"

Controls way whitespace in this a node is parsed. The default is "normal", which causes the DOM parser to collapse whitespace in normal mode, and normalize it (replacing newlines and such with spaces) otherwise. "pre" causes the parser to preserve spaces inside the node. When this option isn’t given, but code is true, whitespace will default to "pre". Note that this option doesn’t influence the way the node is rendered—that should be handled by toDOM and/or styling.


These are the options recognized by the parse and parseSlice methods.

context?: ResolvedPos

A set of additional nodes to count as context when parsing, above the given top node.

findPositions?: object[]

When given, the parser will, beside parsing the content, record the document positions of the given DOM positions. It will do so by writing to the objects, adding a pos property that holds the document position. DOM positions that are not in the parsed content will not be written to.

from?: number

The child node index to start parsing from.

preserveWhitespace?: boolean | "full"

By default, whitespace is collapsed as per HTML’s rules. Pass true to preserve whitespace, but normalize newlines to spaces, and "full" to preserve whitespace entirely.

to?: number

The child node index to stop parsing at.

topMatch?: ContentMatch

Provide the starting content match that content parsed into the top node is matched against.

topNode?: ProseMirrorNode

By default, the content is parsed into the schema’s default top node type. You can pass this option to use the type and attributes from a different node as the top container.


An object describing a schema, as passed to the Schema constructor.

Type Parameter Default type

Nodes extends string

any

Marks extends string

any

marks?: { [name in string]: MarkSpec } | OrderedMap<MarkSpec>

The mark types that exist in this schema. The order in which they are provided determines the order in which mark sets are sorted and in which parse rules are tried.

nodes: { [name in string]: NodeSpec } | OrderedMap<NodeSpec>

The node types in this schema. Maps names to NodeSpec objects that describe the node type associated with that name. Their order is significant—it determines which parse rules take precedence by default, and which nodes come first in a given group.

topNode?: string

The name of the default top-level node for the schema. Defaults to "doc".


A parse rule targeting a style property.

attrs?: Attrs

Attributes for the node or mark created by this rule. When getAttrs is provided, it takes precedence.

clearMark?: (mark: Mark) => boolean

Style rules can remove marks from the set of active marks.

closeParent?: boolean

When true, finding an element that matches this rule will close the current node.

consuming?: boolean

By default, when a rule matches an element or style, no further rules get a chance to match it. By setting this to false, you indicate that even when this rule matches, other rules that come after it should also run.

context?: string

When given, restricts this rule to only match when the current context—the parent nodes into which the content is being parsed—matches this expression. Should contain one or more node names or node group names followed by single or double slashes. For example "paragraph/" means the rule only matches when the parent node is a paragraph, "blockquote/paragraph/" restricts it to be in a paragraph that is inside a blockquote, and "section//" matches any position inside a section—a double slash matches any sequence of ancestor nodes. To allow multiple different contexts, they can be separated by a pipe (|) character, as in "blockquote/|list_item/".

getAttrs?: (node: string) => null | false | Attrs

A function used to compute the attributes for the node or mark created by this rule. Called with the style’s value.

ignore?: boolean

When true, ignore content that matches this rule.

mark?: string

The name of the mark type to wrap the matched content in.

priority?: number

Can be used to change the order in which the parse rules in a schema are tried. Those with higher priority come first. Rules without a priority are counted as having priority 50. This property is only meaningful in a schema—when directly constructing a parser, the order of the rule array is used.

skip?: boolean

When true, ignore the node that matches this rule, but do parse its content.

style: string

A CSS property name to match. This rule will match inline styles that list that property. May also have the form "property=value", in which case the rule only matches if the property’s value exactly matches the given value. (For more complicated filters, use getAttrs and return false to indicate that the match failed.) Rules matching styles may only produce marks, not nodes.

tag?: undefined

Given to make TS see ParseRule as a tagged union


Parse rule targeting a DOM element.

attrs?: Attrs

Attributes for the node or mark created by this rule. When getAttrs is provided, it takes precedence.

closeParent?: boolean

When true, finding an element that matches this rule will close the current node.

consuming?: boolean

By default, when a rule matches an element or style, no further rules get a chance to match it. By setting this to false, you indicate that even when this rule matches, other rules that come after it should also run.

contentElement?: string | HTMLElement | (node: Node) => HTMLElement

For rules that produce non-leaf nodes, by default the content of the DOM element is parsed as content of the node. If the child nodes are in a descendent node, this may be a CSS selector string that the parser must use to find the actual content element, or a function that returns the actual content element to the parser.

context?: string

When given, restricts this rule to only match when the current context—the parent nodes into which the content is being parsed—matches this expression. Should contain one or more node names or node group names followed by single or double slashes. For example "paragraph/" means the rule only matches when the parent node is a paragraph, "blockquote/paragraph/" restricts it to be in a paragraph that is inside a blockquote, and "section//" matches any position inside a section—a double slash matches any sequence of ancestor nodes. To allow multiple different contexts, they can be separated by a pipe (|) character, as in "blockquote/|list_item/".

getAttrs?: (node: HTMLElement) => null | false | Attrs

A function used to compute the attributes for the node or mark created by this rule. Can also be used to describe further conditions the DOM element or style must match. When it returns false, the rule won’t match. When it returns null or undefined, that is interpreted as an empty/default set of attributes.

getContent?: (node: Node, schema: Schema) => ProseMirrorFragment

Can be used to override the content of a matched node. When present, instead of parsing the node’s child nodes, the result of this function is used.

ignore?: boolean

When true, ignore content that matches this rule.

mark?: string

The name of the mark type to wrap the matched content in.

namespace?: string

The namespace to match. Nodes are only matched when the namespace matches or this property is null.

node?: string

The name of the node type to create when this rule matches. Each rule should have either a node, mark, or ignore property (except when it appears in a node or mark spec, in which case the node or mark property will be derived from its position).

preserveWhitespace?: boolean | "full"

Controls whether whitespace should be preserved when parsing the content inside the matched element. false means whitespace may be collapsed, true means that whitespace should be preserved but newlines normalized to spaces, and "full" means that newlines should also be preserved.

priority?: number

Can be used to change the order in which the parse rules in a schema are tried. Those with higher priority come first. Rules without a priority are counted as having priority 50. This property is only meaningful in a schema—when directly constructing a parser, the order of the rule array is used.

skip?: boolean

When true, ignore the node that matches this rule, but do parse its content.

tag: string

A CSS selector describing the kind of DOM elements to match.

type Attrs = object

An object holding the attributes of a node.


type DOMOutputSpec = string | DOMNode | { contentDOM?: HTMLElement; dom: DOMNode; } | readonly [string, ...any[]]

A description of a DOM structure. Can be either a string, which is interpreted as a text node, a DOM node, which is interpreted as itself, a {dom, contentDOM} object, or an array.

An array describes a DOM element. The first value in the array should be a string—the name of the DOM element, optionally prefixed by a namespace URL and a space. If the second element is plain object, it is interpreted as a set of attributes for the element. Any elements after that (including the 2nd if it’s not an attribute object) are interpreted as children of the DOM elements, and must either be valid DOMOutputSpec values, or the number zero.

The number zero (pronounced “hole”) is used to indicate the place where a node’s child nodes should be inserted. If it occurs in an output spec, it should be the only child element in its parent node.


type ParseRule = TagParseRule | StyleParseRule

A value that describes how to parse a given DOM node or inline style as a ProseMirror node or mark.
