The getTextFormats()
method of the TextFormatUpdateEvent
interface returns an Array
of TextFormat
objects that represent the formats that an Input Method Editor (IME) window wants to apply to the text being composed.
None.
Return valueAn Array
containing TextFormat
objects.
In the following example, the textformatupdate
event is used to update the formatting of the text in the editable region.
<canvas id="editor-canvas"></canvas>
const TEXT_X = 10;
const TEXT_Y = 10;
const canvas = document.getElementById("editor-canvas");
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
const editContext = new EditContext();
canvas.editContext = editContext;
editContext.addEventListener("textformatupdate", (e) => {
// Clear the canvas.
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
// Render the text.
ctx.fillText(editContext.text, TEXT_X, TEXT_Y);
console.log(`Rendering text: ${editContext.text}`);
// Get the text formats that the IME window wants to apply.
const formats = e.getTextFormats();
// Iterate over the text formats
for (const format of formats) {
const { rangeStart, rangeEnd, underlineStyle, underlineThickness } = format;
console.log(
`Applying underline ${underlineThickness} ${underlineStyle} between ${rangeStart} and ${rangeEnd}.`,
);
const underlineXStart = ctx.measureText(
editContext.text.substring(0, rangeStart),
).width;
const underlineXEnd = ctx.measureText(
editContext.text.substring(0, rangeEnd),
).width;
const underlineY = TEXT_Y + 3;
// For brevity, this example only draws a simple underline.
// Use underlineStyle and underlineThickness to draw the correct underline.
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(TEXT_X + underlineXStart, underlineY);
ctx.lineTo(TEXT_X + underlineXEnd, underlineY);
ctx.stroke();
}
});
