Nodes browser library

This add-on exposes the operation/open-nodes-browser-modal operation for opening a nodes browser. This browser allows the user to choose between specified element nodes from the documents currently opened in the editor. This, for example, can be used while selecting a target for a link.

Getting started

This add-on can be added to an editor by selecting the checkbox for this add-on in the SDK portal. Then install this add-on as usual.

Usage

This browser can be used by adding the following operation step to your operation:

Other

{
    "type": "operation/open-nodes-browser-modal"
}

The following properties can be used with this operation:

  • When this modal is used to edit an existing link, the documentId and nodeId properties can be used to set the selection on the original node.

  • The set of nodes which to choose from is specified by the linkableElementsQuery.

  • Use insertOperationName to disable the primary button based on the operation state.

  • The modal icon, title and primary button label can be set with the modalIcon, modalTitle and modalPrimaryButtonLabel respectively.

For more information see operation/open-nodes-browser-modal.
