如何使用 vanilla Javascript 保存和恢复浏览器选择？

Question

我使用的库使用隐藏的输入元素作为副作用。这会导致浏览器选择在激活时丢失。如何保存当前选择并在（同步）操作完成后恢复它？如果可能的话，我想知道如何在 vanilla Javascript 中做到这一点。

// how to save the selection?

doSomethingThatUsesHiddenInput() // removes the selection

// how to restore the selection?

Answer 1

您可以使用Browser Selection API并恢复选择范围：

// save the selection
const sel = window.getSelection()
const range = sel?.rangeCount > 0 ? sel?.getRangeAt(0) : null

doSomethingThatUsesHiddenInput() // removes the selection

// restore the selection
if (range) {
  sel?.removeAllRanges()
  sel?.addRange(range)
}

Answer 2

您可以使用 getSelection to get a Selection 对象，它包含 selected 内容的范围。大多数浏览器仅支持用户与页面交互创建的 selection 中的单个范围（如果以编程方式完成，则为多个），但基于 Gecko 的浏览器（如 Firefox）允许用户通过按住 Ctrl 的同时创建多个范围 selecting，或按住 Ctrl 键并单击 table 单元格以 select 它们。

节省：

const selection = window.getSelection();
const savedRanges = [];
for (let i = 0; i < selection.rangeCount; ++i) {
    savedRanges.push(selection.getRangeAt(i));
}

正在恢复：

不幸的是，当您使用 Ctrl 键单击 select table 单元格和然后按住 Ctrl 键至 select 时，Firefox 会出现奇怪的行为文本也是其他元素。我们必须解决这个问题，首先恢复 table 单元格（startContainer.nodeName 是 "TR"），然后再恢复其他单元格，从而使它在 Firefox 上可靠地工作；见下文。

const selection = window.getSelection();
selection.removeAllRanges();
for (const range of savedRanges.filter(({startContainer: {nodeName}}) => nodeName === "TR")) {
    selection.addRange(range);
}
for (const range of savedRanges.filter(({startContainer: {nodeName}}) => nodeName !== "TR")) {
    selection.addRange(range);
}

实例：

const plural = (singular, plural) =>
    (number) =>
        `${number} ${number === 1 ? singular : plural}`;
const ranges = plural("range", "ranges");

document.querySelector(".hover").addEventListener("mouseenter", function() {
    // Save selection
    console.log(`Saving selection...`);
    const selection = window.getSelection();
    const savedRanges = [];
    for (let i = 0; i < selection.rangeCount; ++i) {
        savedRanges.push(selection.getRangeAt(i));
    }
    
    // Remove it and report
    selection.removeAllRanges();
    console.log(`${ranges(savedRanges.length)} saved and removed.`);
    
    // Restore it after a moment
    setTimeout(() => {
        console.log(`Restoring ${ranges(savedRanges.length)}...`);
        const selection = window.getSelection();
        selection.removeAllRanges();
        // To support unusual Firefox behavior around a mix of selections
        // inside and outside tables, restore ranges whose start container
        // is TR first, then others
        for (const range of savedRanges.filter(({startContainer: {nodeName}}) => nodeName === "TR")) {
            selection.addRange(range);
        }
        for (const range of savedRanges.filter(({startContainer: {nodeName}}) => nodeName !== "TR")) {
            selection.addRange(range);
        }
        console.log(`Done`);
    }, 800);
});

.hover {
    display: inline-block;
    border: 1px solid black;
    padding: 4px;
}

<p>
Select text in the document, then move your mouse over the <strong>Hover to Run</strong> box below but <strong>don't</strong> click it (because that would remove your selection). The action will happen when your mouse enters the <strong>Hover to Run</strong> area. On Firefox, try doing multiple selections by holding down Ctrl when selecting, or by Ctrl-clicking table cells.

<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>Column 1</th>
            <th>Column 2</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>One</td>
            <td>two</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>three</td>
            <td>four</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>five</td>
            <td>six</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
<div class="hover">Hover to Run</div>
