This repository hold the XML editing engine, following the newest agreed OpenSCD Plugin API

Usage

You can either load and use the handleEdit function through npm or other content delivery networks. This function does manipulate a XMLDocument as per user intent through the edit as its input:

const removeNode: Remove = { node: toBeRemovedNode };
handleEdit(removeNode);

You can also use the exported EditV2Editor class which keeps track of an undo/redo history. This class is a wrapper around the handleEdit function and provides a more user-friendly API. The EditV2Editor class can be used as follows:

import { EditV2Editor } from '@openscd/oscd-editor';

const editor = new EditV2Editor();

const removeNode: Remove = { node: toBeRemovedNode };
editor.handleEdit(removeNode);

expect(toBeRemovedNode.parentNode).to.not.exist;

editor.undo(); // undo the latest edit

expect(toBeRemovedNode.parentNode).to.exist;

editor.redo(); // redo the most recently undone edit

expect(toBeRemovedNode.parentNode).to.not.exist;
