/**
 * Allows creating alternative note editors. 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.
