CKEditor Model Element Reference
==================================

Complete reference for the ``typo3image`` custom model element in CKEditor 5.

Overview
========

The ``typo3image`` is a custom model element that represents TYPO3 FAL-integrated images in the CKEditor document model. It extends CKEditor's base ``$blockObject`` and includes TYPO3-specific attributes for FAL integration, image processing, and metadata management.

**File**: ``Resources/Public/JavaScript/Plugins/typo3image.js``

Model vs View Architecture
===========================

Understanding CKEditor 5 Architecture
--------------------------------------

CKEditor 5 uses a Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture::

   ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
   │ Model Layer (Data)                              │
   │ - Abstract representation of document           │
   │ - Business logic and validation                 │
   │ - typo3image element with attributes            │
   └──────────────────┬──────────────────────────────┘
                      │
                      │ Conversions
                      │
   ┌──────────────────▼──────────────────────────────┐
   │ View Layer (DOM)                                │
   │ - Visual representation in editor               │
   │ - <img> elements with HTML attributes           │
   │ - User sees and interacts with                  │
   └──────────────────┬──────────────────────────────┘
                      │
                      │ Rendering
                      │
   ┌──────────────────▼──────────────────────────────┐
   │ DOM (Browser)                                   │
   │ - Actual HTML in contenteditable               │
   │ - <img src="..." data-htmlarea-file-uid="123"/> │
   └─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Why Separate Model and View?
-----------------------------

- **Data Integrity**: Model maintains clean data structure regardless of DOM quirks
- **Cross-Platform**: Same model can render differently on different platforms
- **Collaboration**: Multiple users can edit same model with conflict resolution
- **Undo/Redo**: Model changes tracked for history management
- **Validation**: Business rules enforced in model layer

Model Elements
==============

The extension provides two model elements for different use cases:

- **typo3image**: Block-level images wrapped in ``<figure>`` (with optional caption)
- **typo3imageInline**: True inline images that flow with text

Block Image Schema (typo3image)
-------------------------------

.. code-block:: javascript

   editor.model.schema.register('typo3image', {
       inheritAllFrom: '$blockObject',
       allowIn: ['$text', '$block'],
       allowAttributes: [
           'src', 'fileUid', 'fileTable',
           'alt', 'altOverride', 'title', 'titleOverride',
           'class', 'enableZoom', 'width', 'height',
           'htmlA', 'imageLinkHref', 'imageLinkTarget', 'imageLinkTitle',
           'imageLinkClass', 'imageLinkParams'
       ],
   });

Inline Image Schema (typo3imageInline)
--------------------------------------

.. versionadded:: 13.6

   True inline images with cursor positioning support.

.. code-block:: javascript

   editor.model.schema.register('typo3imageInline', {
       inheritAllFrom: '$inlineObject',
       allowIn: ['$block'],
       allowAttributes: [
           'src', 'fileUid', 'fileTable',
           'alt', 'altOverride', 'title', 'titleOverride',
           'class', 'enableZoom', 'width', 'height', 'noScale', 'quality',
           'imageLinkHref', 'imageLinkTarget', 'imageLinkTitle',
           'imageLinkClass', 'imageLinkParams'
       ],
   });

Key Differences
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. list-table::
   :header-rows: 1
   :widths: 30 35 35

   * - Feature
     - typo3image (Block)
     - typo3imageInline (Inline)
   * - Inheritance
     - ``$blockObject``
     - ``$inlineObject``
   * - Caption Support
     - ✅ Yes (typo3imageCaption child)
     - ❌ No
   * - Text Flow
     - Breaks paragraph (block-level)
     - Flows with text (inline)
   * - Cursor Position
     - Before/after figure
     - Before/after on same line
   * - Output HTML
     - ``<figure><img></figure>``
     - ``<img class="image-inline">``
   * - Style Classes
     - ``image-left``, ``image-right``, ``image-center``, ``image-block``
     - ``image-inline``

Usage Example
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the editor, users can type text before and after inline images on the same line,
just like typing around any other inline element (bold text, links, etc.).

Toggle Command
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Users can convert between block and inline via the ``toggleImageType`` command:

.. code-block:: javascript

   // Toggle current image between block and inline
   editor.execute('toggleImageType');

   // Check current type
   const isInline = editor.commands.get('toggleImageType').value === 'inline';

**Block → Inline Conversion:**

- Caption is removed (inline images cannot have captions)
- Block style classes removed, ``image-inline`` added
- Image becomes inline in text flow

**Inline → Block Conversion:**

- Image wrapped in figure
- ``image-block`` class added (or previous alignment class)
- Image becomes block-level element

Schema Properties Explained
----------------------------

inheritAllFrom: '$blockObject'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inherits all properties from CKEditor's base ``$blockObject``:

- **Selectable**: Can be selected like any block element
- **Object**: Treated as atomic unit (not text content)
- **Focusable**: Can receive focus for editing
- **Non-Breaking**: Cannot be split by Enter key

allowIn: ['$text', '$block']
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Defines where ``typo3image`` can exist:

- **$text**: Inside text content (inline-like behavior)
- **$block**: Inside block elements (paragraphs, divs, etc.)

**Result**: Images can be placed in any text flow or block context.

allowAttributes: [...]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lists all valid attributes for the model element. Attributes not listed are stripped.

Attribute Reference
===================

Core Attributes
---------------

src
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: javascript

   type: String
   required: true

**Backend Integration**:

.. code-block:: javascript

   // Fetch file info from backend
   const fileUid = modelElement.getAttribute('fileUid');
   const fileInfo = await fetch(
       routeUrl + '&action=info&fileId=' + fileUid
   ).then(r => r.json());

fileTable
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: javascript

   type: String

Metadata Attributes
-------------------

alt
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: javascript

   type: String
   default: ''

**Purpose**: Alternative text for accessibility (WCAG compliance)

altOverride
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: javascript

   type: Boolean
   default: false

**Purpose**: Flag indicating alt text was manually overridden by user

**Behavior**:

- ``false``: Use alt from FAL file metadata
- ``true``: Use custom alt text from ``alt`` attribute

**Example**:

.. code-block:: javascript

   altOverride: true  // Custom alt text takes precedence

**Usage Pattern**:

.. code-block:: javascript

   // In image dialog
   if (customAltCheckbox.checked) {
       writer.setAttribute('alt', customAltValue, modelElement);
       writer.setAttribute('altOverride', true, modelElement);
   } else {

   titleOverride: true

Visual Attributes
-----------------

class
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: javascript

   type: String
   default: ''

**Purpose**: Space-separated CSS class names for styling

**Style Integration**: Modified by CKEditor style system via ``GeneralHtmlSupport``

**Examples**:

.. code-block:: javascript

   class: 'float-left img-responsive'
   class: 'img-thumbnail d-block mx-auto'

**Usage**:

.. code-block:: javascript

   // Manual class setting
   writer.setAttribute('class', 'my-class another-class', modelElement);

   // Style system automatically updates this attribute
   // when user selects a style from dropdown

**Style System Integration**:

.. code-block:: javascript

   // CKEditor style definition
   {
       name: 'Image Left',
       element: 'img',
       classes: ['float-left', 'mr-3']
   }

   // Results in:
   class: 'float-left mr-3'

width
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: javascript

   type: String (pixels without unit)
   default: ''

**Purpose**: Image display width in pixels

**Format**: Numeric string without 'px' unit

**Examples**:

.. code-block:: javascript

   width: '800'
   width: '1200'

**Usage**:

.. code-block:: javascript

   writer.setAttribute('width', '800', modelElement);

**Aspect Ratio Preservation**:

.. code-block:: javascript

   // When width changes, height should be recalculated
   const newWidth = 800;
   const originalWidth = img.width;
   const originalHeight = img.height;
   const ratio = originalWidth / originalHeight;
   const newHeight = Math.ceil(newWidth / ratio);

   writer.setAttribute('width', String(newWidth), modelElement);
   writer.setAttribute('height', String(newHeight), modelElement);

height
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: javascript

   type: String (pixels without unit)
   default: ''

**Purpose**: Image display height in pixels

**Format**: Numeric string without 'px' unit

**Examples**:

.. code-block:: javascript

   height: '600'
   height: '900'

**Usage**:

.. code-block:: javascript

   writer.setAttribute('height', '600', modelElement);

enableZoom
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: javascript

   type: Boolean
   default: false

**Purpose**: Enable zoom/click-to-enlarge functionality (TYPO3-specific feature)

**Behavior**:

- ``true``: Image becomes clickable, opens larger version
- ``false``: Image is static, no click interaction

**Example**:

.. code-block:: javascript

   enableZoom: true

**Frontend Rendering**:

.. code-block:: html

   <!-- When enableZoom is true -->
   <a href="large-image.jpg" data-lightbox="gallery">
       <img src="thumb.jpg" data-htmlarea-zoom="true" />
   </a>

**Usage**:

.. code-block:: javascript

   writer.setAttribute('enableZoom', true, modelElement);

Link Attributes
---------------

htmlA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: javascript

   type: String
   default: undefined

**Purpose**: Complete HTML anchor tag wrapping the image (legacy attribute)

**Format**: Full HTML string

**Example**:

.. code-block:: javascript

   htmlA: '<a href="/page/123" target="_blank" title="Link title">...</a>'

.. note::
   This is a legacy attribute. Modern approach uses separate link attributes.

linkHref
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: javascript

   type: String
   default: undefined

**Purpose**: Link URL when image is wrapped in anchor tag

**Examples**:

.. code-block:: javascript

.. code-block:: javascript

   writer.setAttribute('linkTarget', '_blank', modelElement);

linkTitle
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: javascript

   type: String
   default: undefined

**Purpose**: Title attribute for the wrapping anchor tag

**Example**:

.. code-block:: javascript

   linkTitle: 'Click to view product details'

linkParams
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. versionadded:: 13.5.0

.. code-block:: javascript

   type: String
   default: undefined

**Purpose**: Additional URL parameters for the link (TypoLink additionalParams)

**Format**: Query string starting with ``&`` (e.g., ``&L=1&type=123``)

**Example**:

.. code-block:: javascript

   linkParams: '&L=1&type=123'

**Usage**:

.. code-block:: javascript

   writer.setAttribute('linkParams', '&cHash=abc123', modelElement);

**TypoLink Integration**:

This corresponds to the fifth parameter in TYPO3's TypoLink format::

   url target class "title" additionalParams
   ↓                         ↓
   linkHref                 linkParams

Working with Model Elements
============================

Creating Model Elements
-----------------------

.. code-block:: javascript

   editor.model.change(writer => {
       const typo3image = writer.createElement('typo3image', {
           src: '/fileadmin/image.jpg',
           fileUid: 123,
           fileTable: 'sys_file',
           width: '800',
           height: '600',
           alt: 'Description',
           class: 'img-fluid'
       });

       // Insert at current selection
       const insertPosition = editor.model.document.selection.getFirstPosition();
       editor.model.insertContent(typo3image, insertPosition);
   });

Updating Attributes
-------------------

.. code-block:: javascript

   editor.model.change(writer => {
       const selectedElement = editor.model.document.selection.getSelectedElement();

       if (selectedElement && selectedElement.name === 'typo3image') {
           // Update single attribute
           writer.setAttribute('width', '1200', selectedElement);

           // Update multiple attributes
           writer.setAttributes({
               width: '1200',
               height: '800',
               class: 'img-large'
           }, selectedElement);
       }
   });

Reading Attributes
------------------

.. code-block:: javascript

   const selectedElement = editor.model.document.selection.getSelectedElement();

   if (selectedElement && selectedElement.name === 'typo3image') {
       // Read single attribute
       const src = selectedElement.getAttribute('src');
       const fileUid = selectedElement.getAttribute('fileUid');

       // Read with default fallback
       const alt = selectedElement.getAttribute('alt') || '';
       const width = selectedElement.getAttribute('width') || '0';

       // Check if attribute exists
       const hasClass = selectedElement.hasAttribute('class');

       // Get all attributes
       const allAttrs = Array.from(selectedElement.getAttributes());
       console.log(allAttrs);  // [['src', '...'], ['fileUid', 123], ...]
   }

Removing Attributes
-------------------

.. code-block:: javascript

   editor.model.change(writer => {
       const selectedElement = editor.model.document.selection.getSelectedElement();

       if (selectedElement && selectedElement.name === 'typo3image') {
           // Remove single attribute
           writer.removeAttribute('class', selectedElement);

           // Remove multiple attributes
           writer.removeAttribute('title', selectedElement);
           writer.removeAttribute('titleOverride', selectedElement);
       }
   });

Model Selection
===============

Selecting Elements
------------------

.. code-block:: javascript

   // Select element programmatically
   editor.model.change(writer => {
       const element = /* get element reference */;
       writer.setSelection(element, 'on');  // 'on' = select element itself
   });

Getting Selected Element
-------------------------

.. code-block:: javascript

   const selection = editor.model.document.selection;
   const selectedElement = selection.getSelectedElement();

   if (selectedElement && selectedElement.name === 'typo3image') {
       // Image is selected
       console.log('Selected typo3image element');
   }

Iterating Selection Range
--------------------------

.. code-block:: javascript

   const selection = editor.model.document.selection;
   const range = selection.getFirstRange();

   for (const item of range.getItems()) {
       if (item.is('element', 'typo3image')) {
           console.log('Found typo3image:', item.getAttribute('src'));
       }
   }

Model Traversal
===============

Finding Parent Elements
-----------------------

.. code-block:: javascript

   const element = /* typo3image element */;
   const parent = element.parent;

   console.log(parent.name);  // e.g., 'paragraph', '$root'

Finding Previous/Next Siblings
-------------------------------

.. code-block:: javascript

   const element = /* typo3image element */;
   const previousSibling = element.previousSibling;
   const nextSibling = element.nextSibling;

Walking the Model Tree
----------------------

.. code-block:: javascript

   function findAllImages(root) {
       const images = [];
       const walker = editor.model.createRangeIn(root).getWalker();

       for (const {item} of walker) {
           if (item.is('element', 'typo3image')) {
               images.push(item);
           }
       }

       return images;
   }

   // Find all images in document
   const allImages = findAllImages(editor.model.document.getRoot());

Attribute Validation
====================

Allowed Attributes Enforcement
-------------------------------

CKEditor automatically strips attributes not in ``allowAttributes`` list:

.. code-block:: javascript

   // This attribute will be stripped
   writer.setAttribute('invalidAttr', 'value', modelElement);

   // Only these attributes are preserved
   allowAttributes: [
       'src', 'fileUid', 'fileTable',
       'alt', 'altOverride', 'title', 'titleOverride',
       'class', 'enableZoom', 'width', 'height',
       'htmlA', 'linkHref', 'linkTarget', 'linkTitle',
       'linkClass', 'linkParams'
   ]

Custom Validation
-----------------

.. code-block:: javascript

   editor.model.schema.addAttributeCheck((context, attributeName) => {
       // Only allow width/height with valid numeric values
       if (attributeName === 'width' || attributeName === 'height') {
           if (context.endsWith('typo3image')) {
               const value = context.getAttribute(attributeName);
               return /^\d+$/.test(value);  // Must be numeric
           }
       }
       return true;
   });

Model Change Listeners
======================

Listening to Attribute Changes
-------------------------------

.. code-block:: javascript

   editor.model.document.on('change:data', () => {
       const changes = editor.model.document.differ.getChanges();

       for (const change of changes) {
           if (change.type === 'attribute' && change.attributeKey === 'class') {
               console.log('Class changed:', {
                   element: change.range.start.parent.name,
                   oldValue: change.attributeOldValue,
                   newValue: change.attributeNewValue
               });
           }
       }
   });

Listening to Element Insertion
-------------------------------

.. code-block:: javascript

   editor.model.document.on('change:data', () => {
       const changes = editor.model.document.differ.getChanges();

       for (const change of changes) {
           if (change.type === 'insert' && change.name === 'typo3image') {
               console.log('typo3image inserted:', change.position.path);
           }
       }
   });

Advanced Patterns
=================

Cloning Elements
----------------

.. code-block:: javascript

   editor.model.change(writer => {
       const original = /* get typo3image element */;

       // Clone with all attributes
       const clone = writer.cloneElement(original);

       // Insert clone
       const insertPosition = /* target position */;
       writer.insert(clone, insertPosition);
   });

Batch Attribute Updates
-----------------------

.. code-block:: javascript

   editor.model.change(writer => {
       const images = /* array of typo3image elements */;

       // Apply same class to all images
       images.forEach(img => {
           const currentClass = img.getAttribute('class') || '';
           const newClass = currentClass + ' batch-processed';
           writer.setAttribute('class', newClass.trim(), img);
       });
   });

Conditional Attribute Setting
------------------------------

.. code-block:: javascript

   editor.model.change(writer => {
       const element = /* typo3image element */;

       // Only set width if not already set
       if (!element.hasAttribute('width')) {
           writer.setAttribute('width', '800', element);
       }

       // Update alt only if override is enabled
       if (element.getAttribute('altOverride')) {
           writer.setAttribute('alt', customAltText, element);
       }
   });

Debugging Model Elements
========================

Inspect Element in Console
---------------------------

.. code-block:: javascript

   // Get selected element
   const element = editor.model.document.selection.getSelectedElement();

   // Log all attributes
   console.log('Element:', element.name);
   console.log('Attributes:', Array.from(element.getAttributes()));

   // Log specific attributes
   console.log('src:', element.getAttribute('src'));
   console.log('fileUid:', element.getAttribute('fileUid'));
   console.log('class:', element.getAttribute('class'));

Monitor Model Changes
---------------------
