Editor.hasPath Migration Guide

This guide covers the migration of Editor.hasPath usage from Slate.js v0.88 to v0.104. The API has changed from a property-based check to a function call pattern, requiring updates to existing code.

Code Changes

Before (v0.88)

if (Editor.hasPath) {
  
}

After (v0.104)

if (Editor.hasPath(editor, path)) {
  
}

Key Changes

• Changed from property access (Editor.hasPath) to function call (Editor.hasPath(editor, path))
• Now requires two parameters: editor instance and path to check
• Provides more explicit path validation
• Improved type safety with TypeScript

Migration Steps

1. Identify all instances of Editor.hasPath property access
2. Replace with Editor.hasPath(editor, path) function calls
3. Ensure editor instance is available in scope
4. Update path parameters to match your document structure

Benefits

• More explicit API design
• Better type safety and error checking
• Consistent with other Slate.js v0.104 APIs
• Improved code readability and maintenance
