The TextFormatUpdateEvent interface is a DOM event that represents a list of text formats that an Input Method Editor (IME) window wants to apply to the text being composed in an editable region that's attached to an EditContext instance.
Returns an Array of TextFormat objects that represent the formats that the IME window wants to apply to the text.
Examples
Styling IME-composed text
In the following example, the textformatupdate event is used to update the formatting of the text in the editable region.
html
<canvasid="editor-canvas"></canvas>
js
constTEXT_X=10;constTEXT_Y=10;const canvas = document.getElementById("editor-canvas");const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");const editContext =newEditContext();
canvas.editContext = editContext;
editContext.addEventListener("textformatupdate",(e)=>{// Clear the canvas.
ctx.clearRect(0,0, canvas.width, canvas.height);// Render the text.
ctx.fillText(editContext.text,TEXT_X,TEXT_Y);
console.log(`Rendering text: ${editContext.text}`);// Get the text formats that the IME window wants to apply.const formats = e.getTextFormats();// Iterate over the text formatsfor(const format of formats){const{ rangeStart, rangeEnd, underlineStyle, underlineThickness }= format;
console.log(`Applying underline ${underlineThickness}${underlineStyle} between ${rangeStart} and ${rangeEnd}.`,);const underlineXStart = ctx.measureText(
editContext.text.substring(0, rangeStart),).width;const underlineXEnd = ctx.measureText(
editContext.text.substring(0, rangeEnd),).width;const underlineY =TEXT_Y+3;// For brevity, this example only draws a simple underline.// Use underlineStyle and underlineThickness to draw the correct underline.
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(TEXT_X+ underlineXStart, underlineY);
ctx.lineTo(TEXT_X+ underlineXEnd, underlineY);
ctx.stroke();}});
