You can create a view to handle loading and saving the + * note, and do your own rendering. + * + * Although it may be used to implement an alternative text editor, the more common use case may be + * to render the note in a different, graphical way - for example displaying a graph, and + * saving/loading the graph data in the associated note. In that case, you would detect whether the + * current note contains graph data and, in this case, you'd display your viewer. + * + * Terminology: An editor is **active** when it can be used to edit the current note. Note that it + * doesn't necessarily mean that your editor is visible - it just means that the user has the option + * to switch to it (via the "toggle editor" button). A **visible** editor is active and is currently + * being displayed. + * + * To implement an editor you need to listen to two events: + * + * - `onActivationCheck`: This is a way for the app to know whether your editor should be active or + * not. Return `true` from this handler to activate your editor. + * + * - `onUpdate`: When this is called you should update your editor based on the current note + * content. Call `joplin.workspace.selectedNote()` to get the current note. + * + * - `showEditorPlugin` and `toggleEditorPlugin` commands. Additionally you can use these commands + * to display your editor via `joplin.commands.execute('showEditorPlugin')`. This is not always + * necessary since the user can switch to your editor using the "toggle editor" button, however + * you may want to programmatically display the editor in some cases - for example when creating a + * new note specific to your editor. + * + * Note that only one editor view can be active at a time. This is why it is important not to + * activate your view if it's not relevant to the current note. If more than one is active, it is + * undefined which editor is going to be used to display the note. + * + * For an example of editor plugin, see the [YesYouKan + * plugin](https://github.com/joplin/plugin-yesyoukan/blob/master/src/index.ts). In particular, + * check the logic around `onActivationCheck` and `onUpdate` since this is the entry points for + * using this API. + */ +export default class JoplinViewsEditors { + private store; + private plugin; + private activationCheckHandlers_; + constructor(plugin: Plugin, store: any); + private controller; + /** + * Creates a new editor view + */ + create(id: string): Promise<ViewHandle>; + /** + * Sets the editor HTML content + */ + setHtml(handle: ViewHandle, html: string): Promise<string>; + /** + * Adds and loads a new JS or CSS file into the panel. + */ + addScript(handle: ViewHandle, scriptPath: string): Promise<void>; + /** + * See [[JoplinViewPanels]] + */ + onMessage(handle: ViewHandle, callback: Function): Promise<void>; + /** + * Emitted when the editor can potentially be activated - this is for example when the current + * note is changed, or when the application is opened.
