I implement WYSIWYG editor with draftjs and I have a set of rules for typography fixing. I use Modifier.replaceText to replace what I want, but the problem is, when I call it, it removes inlineStyles in replaced text.
Here is a block of code that I use for typography. Inputs are rules (array with rules) and editorState.
rules.forEach(({ toReplace, replace }) => {
const blockToReplace = [];
let contentState = editorState.getCurrentContent();
const blockMap = contentState.getBlockMap();
blockMap.forEach(contentBlock => {
const text = contentBlock.getText();
let matchArr;
while ((matchArr = toReplace.exec(text)) !== null) {
const start = matchArr.index;
const end = start + matchArr[0].length;
const blockKey = contentBlock.getKey();
const blockSelection = SelectionState.createEmpty(blockKey).merge({
anchorOffset: start,
focusOffset: end,
});
blockToReplace.push(blockSelection);
}
});
blockToReplace.reverse().forEach((selectionState) => {
contentState = Modifier.replaceText(
contentState,
selectionState,
text.replace(search, replace)
);
});
editorState = EditorState.push(editorState, contentState);
});
So, my input is: *bold...*
The wrong output is: *bold*…
Should be: *bold…*
Note: asterisks are for bold designation, change is three dots to horizontal ellipsis (U+2026)
Anybody any idea? I google it for two days and nothing...
