Utils for document transformation

• removeParentNodeOfType(nodeType: NodeType | [NodeType]) → fn(tr: Transaction) → Transaction
  Returns a new transaction that removes a node of a given nodeType. It will return an original transaction if parent node hasn't been found.

  dispatch(
    removeParentNodeOfType(schema.nodes.table)(tr)
  );
  

• replaceParentNodeOfType(nodeType: NodeType | [NodeType], content: ProseMirrorNode | Fragment) → fn(tr: Transaction) → Transaction
  Returns a new transaction that replaces parent node of a given nodeType with the given content. It will return an original transaction if either parent node hasn't been found or replacing is not possible.

  const node = schema.nodes.paragraph.createChecked({}, schema.text('new'));
  
  dispatch(
   replaceParentNodeOfType(schema.nodes.table, node)(tr)
  );
  

• removeSelectedNode(tr: Transaction) → Transaction
  Returns a new transaction that removes selected node. It will return an original transaction if current selection is not a NodeSelection.

  dispatch(
    removeSelectedNode(tr)
  );
  

• replaceSelectedNode(content: ProseMirrorNode | ProseMirrorFragment) → fn(tr: Transaction) → Transaction
  Returns a new transaction that replaces selected node with a given node, keeping NodeSelection on the new node. It will return the original transaction if either current selection is not a NodeSelection or replacing is not possible.

  const node = schema.nodes.paragraph.createChecked({}, schema.text('new'));
  dispatch(
    replaceSelectedNode(node)(tr)
  );
  

• canInsert($pos: ResolvedPos, content: ProseMirrorNode | Fragment) → boolean
  Checks if a given content can be inserted at the given $pos

    // ...
  }
  

• safeInsert(content: ProseMirrorNode | Fragment, position: ?number, tryToReplace: ?boolean) → fn(tr: Transaction) → Transaction
  Returns a new transaction that inserts a given content at the current cursor position, or at a given position, if it is allowed by schema. If schema restricts such nesting, it will try to find an appropriate place for a given node in the document, looping through parent nodes up until the root document node. If tryToReplace is true and current selection is a NodeSelection, it will replace selected node with inserted content if its allowed by schema. If cursor is inside of an empty paragraph, it will try to replace that paragraph with the given content. If insertion is successful and inserted node has content, it will set cursor inside of that content. It will return an original transaction if the place for insertion hasn't been found.

  const node = schema.nodes.extension.createChecked({});
  dispatch(
    safeInsert(node)(tr)

  dispatch(
    setParentNodeMarkup(schema.nodes.panel, null, { panelType })(tr);
  );
  

• selectParentNodeOfType(nodeType: NodeType | [NodeType]) → fn(tr: Transaction) → Transaction
  Returns a new transaction that sets a NodeSelection on a parent node of a given nodeType.

  dispatch(
    selectParentNodeOfType([tableCell, tableHeader])(state.tr)
  );
  

• removeNodeBefore(tr: Transaction) → Transaction
  Returns a new transaction that deletes previous node.

  dispatch(
    removeNodeBefore(state.tr)
  );
  

• setTextSelection(position: number, dir: ?number = 1) → fn(tr: Transaction) → Transaction
  Returns a new transaction that tries to find a valid cursor selection starting at the given position and searching back if dir is negative, and forward if positive. If a valid cursor position hasn't been found, it will return the original transaction.

  dispatch(
    setTextSelection(5)(tr)
  );
