How can I get a list of attributes for a node?
I found this way. Get a node on the spot where the cursor is positioned. The following is a AuthorNode AuthorElement. And call the AuthorElement.getAttributeAtIndex(i);
However, this method returns only attributes that are installed. And how can you get a complete list of attributes that are possible for this node (as in panel attributes).

Hi Maxim,

To find all the possible attributes for a node you have to get the WhatAttributesCanGoHereContext from the document schema manager and then ask the schema manager what attributes are available in this context.
The following code sample list the names of all attributes available for the element at caret position:

Code: Select all

  int caretOffset = authorAcess.getEditorAccess().getCaretOffset();

  

  AuthorDocumentController controller = authorAcess.getDocumentController();

  // Get the node at caret position

  AuthorNode node = controller.getNodeAtOffset(caretOffset);

  

  if (node instanceof AuthorElement) {

    AuthorSchemaManager authorSchemaManager = controller.getAuthorSchemaManager();

    // From schema manager get the current context 

    WhatAttributesCanGoHereContext context = authorSchemaManager.createWhatAttributesCanGoHereContext((AuthorElement) node);

    // Find the list of all possible attributes for the current context 

    List<CIAttribute> possibleAttrs = authorSchemaManager.whatAttributesCanGoHere(context);

    if (possibleAttrs != null) {

      for (CIAttribute ciAttribute : possibleAttrs) {

        System.out.println("Attr: " + ciAttribute.getName());

      }

    }

  }
