broadcast

Arguments

name

String

arguments (optional)

Broadcast the message to modules and plugins.

this.app.broadcast('messagename');
this.app.broadcast('messagename', arg1, argN);

In a nutshell, you can intercept the message in a module or a plugin with its method like this:

$R.Plugin.Myplugin.prototype = {
    onmessagename: function(arg1, argN)
    {
        // code...
    }
};

isReadOnly

// call in plugins
var is = this.app.isReadOnly();

// external API
var is = $R('#content', 'isReadOnly');

enableReadOnly

Set the read-only mode for Redactor. The content in the editor becomes not editable.

// call in plugins
this.app.enableReadOnly();

// external API
$R('#content', 'enableReadOnly');

disableReadOnly

Disable the read-only mode for Redactor. The content in the editor becomes editable.

// call in plugins
this.app.disableReadOnly();

// external API
$R('#content', 'disableReadOnly');

extend

Arguments

obj1	Object
objN	Object
deep	Boolean

Returns: Object

Extend one object with another object. If deep is true the merge becomes recursive.

// merge to new object
var newobj = $R.extend({}, ob1, obj2);

// deep copy
var newobj = $R.extend({}, true, ob1, obj2);

// merge objects
obj1 = $R.extend(ob1, obj2);

// deep copy
obj1 = $R.extend(true, ob1, obj2);

error

Arguments

message

Exception

Call the exception thrown to show an error message.

$R.error(new Error('your message'));
