Functions
$dfs
▸ $dfs(startingNode?, endingNode?): DFSNode[]
"Depth-First Search" starts at the root/top node of a tree and goes as far as it can down a branch end before backtracking and finding a new path. Consider solving a maze by hugging either wall, moving down a branch until you hit a dead-end (leaf) and backtracking to find the nearest branching path and repeat. It will then return all the nodes found in the search in an array of objects.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
startingNode? | LexicalNode | The node to start the search, if ommitted, it will start at the root node. |
endingNode? | LexicalNode | The node to end the search, if ommitted, it will find all descendants of the startingNode. |
Returns
DFSNode[]
An array of objects of all the nodes found by the search, including their depth into the tree. {depth: number, node: LexicalNode} It will always return at least 1 node (the ending node) so long as it exists

$getNextRightPreorderNode
▸ $getNextRightPreorderNode(startingNode): LexicalNode | null
Performs a right-to-left preorder tree traversal. From the starting node it goes to the rightmost child, than backtracks to paret and finds new rightmost path. It will return the next node in traversal sequence after the startingNode. The traversal is similar to $dfs functions above, but the nodes are visited right-to-left, not left-to-right.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
startingNode | LexicalNode | The node to start the search. |
Returns
LexicalNode | null
The next node in pre-order right to left traversal sequence or null, if the node does not exist

$insertNodeToNearestRoot
▸ $insertNodeToNearestRoot<T>(node): T
If the selected insertion area is the root/shadow root node (see $isRootOrShadowRoot), the node will be appended there, otherwise, it will be inserted before the insertion area. If there is no selection where the node is to be inserted, it will be appended after any current nodes within the tree, as a child of the root node. A paragraph node will then be added after the inserted node and selected.

packages/lexical-utils/src/index.ts:132
mergeRegister
▸ mergeRegister(...func): () => void
Returns a function that will execute all functions passed when called. It is generally used to register multiple lexical listeners and then tear them down with a single function call, such as React's useEffect hook.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
...func | Func[] | An array of functions meant to be executed by the returned function. |
Returns
fn
the function which executes all the passed register command functions.
▸ (): void
Returns
void
Example
useEffect(() => {
return mergeRegister(
editor.registerCommand(...registerCommand1 logic),
editor.registerCommand(...registerCommand2 logic),
editor.registerCommand(...registerCommand3 logic)
)
}, [editor])
In this case, useEffect is returning the function returned by mergeRegister as a cleanup function to be executed after either the useEffect runs again (due to one of its dependencies updating) or the component it resides in unmounts. Note the functions don't neccesarily need to be in an array as all arguements are considered to be the func argument and spread from there.
