# Range
Inherited from `Range`, has all the methods and attributes of `Range`, if you need to know the detailed attributes and methods, please visit the browser API [Range](https://developer.mozilla.org/zh-CN/docs/Web/ API/Range/Range)
Type: `RangeInterface`
## Attributes
The following only lists the properties and methods extended from the `Range` object
### `base`
`Range` object
Read only
### `startNode`
The node where the range starts, read-only
Type: `NodeInterface`
### `endNode`
Node at the end of the range, read-only
Type: `NodeInterface`
### `commonAncestorNode`
The nearest parent node shared by the start node and the end node
Type: `NodeInterface`
## Static method
### `create`
Create a RangeInterface object from a Point position
Point can be understood as the x,y coordinate point of the mouse pointer position
```ts
/**
* Create a RangeInterface object from a Point position
*/
create: (
editor: EditorInterface,
doc?: Document,
point?: { x: number; y: number },
) => RangeInterface;
```
### `from`
Create RangeInterface objects from Window, Selection, Range
```ts
/**
* Create RangeInterface objects from Window, Selection, Range
*/
from: (
editor: EditorInterface,
win?: Window | globalThis.Selection | globalThis.Range,
) => RangeInterface | null;
```
### `fromPath`
Restore the path to a RangeInterface object
```ts
/**
* Convert from path to range
* @param path
* @param context, the default editor node
*/
fromPath(path: Path[], context?: NodeInterface): RangeInterface;
```
## Method
### `select`
Let the range select a node
```ts
/**
* Select a node
* @param node node
* @param contents whether only selected contents
*/
select(node: NodeInterface | Node, contents?: boolean): RangeInterface;
```
### `getText`
Get the text of all nodes selected by the range
```ts
/**
* Get the text selected by the range
*/
getText(): string | null;
```
### `getClientRect`
Get the area occupied by the range
```ts
/**
* Get the area occupied by the range
*/
getClientRect(): DOMRect;
```
### `enlargeFromTextNode`
Extend the selection marker from the TextNode to the nearest non-TextNode node
```ts
/**
* Expand the selection mark from TextNode to the nearest non-TextNode node
* The selected content of the range remains unchanged
*/
enlargeFromTextNode(): RangeInterface;
```
### `shrinkToTextNode`
Reduce the selection marker from a non-TextNode to a TextNode node, as opposed to enlargeFromTextNode
```ts
/**
* Reduce the selection marker from a non-TextNode to a TextNode node, as opposed to enlargeFromTextNode
* The selected content of the range remains unchanged
*/
shrinkToTextNode(): RangeInterface;
```
### `enlargeToElementNode`
Extend the range selection boundary
```ts
/**
* Expand the border
* [123abc]def
* to
* [123abc]def
* @param range selection
* @param toBlock whether to expand to block-level nodes
*/
enlargeToElementNode(toBlock?: boolean): RangeInterface;
```
### `shrinkToElementNode`
Shrink the range selection boundary
```ts
/**
* Reduce the border
* [123
]
* to
* [123]
*/
shrinkToElementNode(): RangeInterface;
```
### `createSelection`
Create selectionElement and mark the position of the range, focus or range by inserting a custom span node. Through these marks, we can easily get the nodes in the selection area
For more properties and methods, please see the `SelectionInterface` API
```ts
/**
* Create selectionElement, mark the position by inserting a span node
*/
createSelection(): SelectionInterface;
```
### `getSubRanges`
Split the range selection into multiple sub-selections according to text nodes and card nodes
```ts
/**
* Get a collection of sub-selections
* @param includeCard whether to include the card
*/
getSubRanges(includeCard?: boolean): Array;
```
### `setOffset`
Let the range select a node and set its start position offset and end position offset
```ts
/**
* @param node The node to be set
* @param start the offset of the starting position
* @param end The offset of the end position
* */
setOffset(
node: Node | NodeInterface,
start: number,
end: number,
): RangeInterface;
```
### `findElements`
Find a collection of element nodes in the range area, excluding Text text nodes
```ts
findElements(): Array;
```
### `inCard`
Query whether the range is in the card
```ts
inCard(): boolean;
```
### `getStartOffsetNode`
Get the node at the offset relative to the node at the beginning of the range
```ts
getStartOffsetNode(): Node;
```
### `getEndOffsetNode`
Get the node at the offset relative to the node at the end of the range
```ts
getEndOffsetNode(): Node;
```
### `containsCard`
Whether the range area contains a card
```ts
/**
* Whether to include a card
*/
containsCard(): boolean;
```
### `handleBr`
Repair the Br node at the range position
```ts
/**
* When entering content, delete the BR tag generated by the browser, and add BR to the empty block
* Delete scene
*
foo
* foo
* Keep the scene
*
foo
* foo
* foo
bar
* Add scene
*
* @param isLeft
*/
handleBr(isLeft?: boolean): RangeInterface;
```
### `getPrevNode`
Get the node before the range start position
```ts
/**
* Get the node before the start position
* foo|bar
*/
getPrevNode(): NodeInterface | undefined;
```
### `getNextNode`
Get the node after the end position
```ts
/**
* Get the node after the end position
* foo|bar
*/
getNextNode(): NodeInterface | undefined;
```
### `deepCut`
Cut the contents of the area selected by the range. Data will be on the clipboard
```ts
/**
* Deep cut
*/
deepCut(): void;
```
### `equal`
Compare whether the range of two range objects are equal
```ts
/**
* Compare whether the two ranges are equal
*range
*/
equal(range: RangeInterface | globalThis.Range): boolean;
```
### `getRootBlock`
Get the nearest root node of the current selection
```ts
/**
* Get the nearest root node of the current selection
*/
getRootBlock(): NodeInterface | undefined;
```
### `filterPath`
Filter path
```ts
/**
* Filter path
* @param includeCardCursor
*/
filterPath(includeCardCursor?: boolean): (node: Node) => boolean;
```
### `toPath`
Convert cursor selection to path
```ts
/**
* Get the cursor path
* @param includeCardCursor whether to include the cursor on both sides of the card
*/
toPath(
includeCardCursor?: boolean,
): {start: RangePath; end: RangePath} | undefined;
```
