I would like create some kind of advanced history feature with ProseMirror.
The idea would be to :
List history entries (with some kind of label associated with the change(s))
Revert any changes in that list (like undo but, no only latest one)
I recently dig into prosemirror-history plugin (& some other threads here) & I have some questions :
From prosemirror-history description :
[…] history is selective, meaning it does not just roll back to a previous state but can undo some changes while keeping other, later changes intact.
How this can be achieve ? I didn’t find any example or api related method/informations
Plus, can you confirm, that currently, the prosemirror-history is not exposing history entries ? (“HistoryState” ). I assuming, that HistoryState, can be retrieved by using plugin state, but currently, type & related stuff is not expored by prosemirror-history…
Could it be something that would make sense if exposed by the prosemirror-history plugin package ?
No. it sounds like what you are trying to do would have to be done in a separate implementation of an undo history (which, given that prosemirror-history is just a plugin, is definitely possible).
I probably misunderstood the documentation statement about " can undo some changes while keeping other"…
What I was meaning, is not about having changes that are not part of history, but something like :
Let say I have 3 changes in the history (N, N-1 & N-2), all are part of history & can be undone the regular way (undo command).
What I’m wondering is: it is possible to undo the “N-1” changes, without undo the “N” changes ?
No. it sounds like what you are trying to do would have to be done in a separate implementation of an undo history (which, given that prosemirror-history is just a plugin, is definitely possible).
