Account for a transaction.getMeta("drop") within Plugins?

[modicombat]

Hi,

I have made a plugin that initializes marks on paragraphs via filterTransaction and currently can enforce pasting something into the editor VIA tr.getMeta("paste") but I believe I am unable to validate if the transaction UIEvent is a “drop” (VIA drag n drop). It seems tr.meta is private so I am unable to do something like tr.meta.uiEvent === "drop" - even though debugging will showcase this as “true”… it also appears that doing tr.getMeta(“drop”) yields undefined for me, so I was wondering if there is a different string or way to identify if the transaction can identify if a drag and drop is occuring within the Plugin?

I looked into this and it seems like tr.getMeta("paste") was the outcome of the discussion - curious if something similar can occur for “drop”?

Disable plugin on condition

Hi, I have made a plugin that initializes marks on paragraph and headings via appendTransaction However, when I paste something in my editor, I don’t these marks to be initialized, instead I want it to use the default font when not found, else use the same font as the pasted text. Any leads as to where I should look at? I have made a handlePaste plugin, but how to stop the appendTransaction from taking place I have looked at this : But still am not able to figure out what can be done. Thank…

What’s wrong with tr.getMeta("uiEvent") == "drop"?

There isn’t! Thank you for pointing this out to me. Strangely, I was unaware (didn’t think about) the idea of using uiEvent as the string parameter.

For what it is worth, I was looking for documentation on potential values / arguments to pass in for getMeta() (common default values that are not custom defined VIA setMeta()) but I wasn’t able to find much other than the following description of transaction.

Either way, this is a perfect solution, thank you again!
