## Getting Started
## Getting started
Add the AppFlowy editor [Flutter package](https://docs.flutter.dev/development/packages-and-plugins/using-packages) to your environment.
```shell
flutter pub add appflowy_editor
flutter pub get
```
## How to use
## Creating Your First Editor
Start by creating a new empty AppFlowyEditor object.

```dart
final editorState = EditorState.empty(); // an empty state

## Customizing a Shortcut Event
We will use a simple example to illustrate how to quickly add a shortcut event.
For example, typing `_xxx_` will be converted into _xxx_.
In this example, text that starts and ends with an underscore ( \_ ) character will be rendered in italics for emphasis. So typing `_xxx_` will automatically be converted into _xxx_.

# Testing

The directory structure of test files mirrors that of the code files, making it easy for us to map a file with the corresponding test and check if the test is updated.
## Testing Functions
For an overview of testing best practices in Flutter applications, please refer to Flutter's [introduction to widget testing](https://docs.flutter.dev/cookbook/testing/widget/introduction) as well as their [introduction to unit testing](https://docs.flutter.dev/cookbook/testing/unit/introduction).
There you will learn how to do such things as such as simulate a click as well as leverage the `test` and `expect` functions.
## Testing Basic Editor Functions
The example code below shows how to construct a document that will be used in our testing.
**Construct a document for testing**
```dart
const text = 'Welcome to Appflowy 😁';
// Get the instance of editor.
// Get the instance of the editor.
final editor = tester.editor;
// Insert empty text node.
// Insert an empty text node.
editor.insertEmptyTextNode();
// Insert text node with string.
// Insert a text node with the text string we defined earlier.
editor.insertTextNode(text);
// Insert text node with heading style.
// Insert the same text, but with the heading style.
editor.insertTextNode(text, attributes: {
StyleKey.subtype: StyleKey.heading,
StyleKey.heading: StyleKey.h1,
});
// Insert text node with bulleted list style and bold style.
// Insert our text with the bulleted list style and the bold style.
// If you want to modify the style of the inserted text, you need to use the Delta parameter.
editor.insertTextNode(
'',
attributes: {
@ -30,66 +39,76 @@ editor.insertTextNode(
);
```
**The `startTesting` function must be called before testing**.
The `startTesting` function of the editor must be called before you begin your test.
```dart
await editor.startTesting();
```
**Get the number of nodes in the document**
Get the number of nodes in the document.
```dart
final length = editor.documentLength;
print(length);
```
**Get the node of a defined path**
Get the node of a defined path. In this case we are getting the first node of the document which is the text "Welcome to Appflowy 😁".
```dart
final firstTextNode = editor.nodeAtPath([0]) as TextNode;
```
**Update selection**
Update the [Selection](https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/blob/main/frontend/app_flowy/packages/appflowy_editor/lib/src/document/selection.dart) so that our text "Welcome to Appflowy 😁" is selected. We will start our selection from the beginning of the string.
```dart
await editor.updateSelection(
Selection.single(path: firstTextNode.path, startOffset: 0),
);
```
**Get the selection**
Get the current selection.
```dart
final selection = editor.documentSelection;
print(selection);
```
**Simulate shortcut event inputs**
Next we will simulate the input of a shortcut key being pressed that will select all the text.
```dart
// Command + A.
// Meta + A.
await editor.pressLogicKey(LogicalKeyboardKey.keyA, isMetaPressed: true);
// Command + shift + S.
// Meta + shift + S.
await editor.pressLogicKey(
LogicalKeyboardKey.keyS,
isMetaPressed: true,
LogicalKeyboardKey.keyS,
isMetaPressed: true,
isShiftPressed: true,
);
```
**Simulate a text input**
We will then simulate text input.
```dart
// Insert 'Hello World' at the beginning of the first node.
editor.insertText(firstTextNode, 'Hello World', 0);
```
**Get information about the text node**
Once the text has been added, we can get information about the text node.
```dart
// Get plain text.
// Get the text of the first text node as plain text
final textAfterInserted = firstTextNode.toRawString();
print(textAfterInserted);
// Get attributes.
// Get the attributes of the text node
final attributes = firstTextNode.attributes;
print(attributes);
```
## Example
For example, we are going to test `select_all_handler.dart`
## A Complete Code Example
In the example code below we are going to test `select_all_handler.dart` by inserting 100 lines of text that read "Welcome to Appflowy 😁" and then simulating the "selectAll" shortcut key being pressed.
Afterwards, we will `expect` that the current selection of the editor is equal to the selection of all the lines that were generated.
```dart
import 'package:appflowy_editor/appflowy_editor.dart';
