Slate.js editor has certain implementation specifics that don't work smoothly with external spellchecker tools and WProofreader is not an exception.
- Slate.js editor uses beforeinput event to listen to DOM changes.
- It listens to selectionchange event with 100ms delay.
It is possible to listen to our customInsertText event to prevent our text replacement and use internal Slate.js replace. Below an example how to archive that.
var el; // Get the main editable Slate element into this variable.
el.addEventListener('customInsertText', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
setTimeout(function() {
if (// For Safari browser) {
replaceSafari(event.detail.text);
return;
}
replaceForAll(el, event.detail.text);
}, 100);
});
var replaceForAll = function(element, text) {
var clipboardEvent = new ClipboardEvent('paste', {
clipboardData: new DataTransfer(),
bubbles: !0
});
clipboardEvent.clipboardData.setData('text/plain', text);
element.dispatchEvent(clipboardEvent);
};
var replaceSafari = function(text) {
document.execCommand('insertText', false, text);
};
