A Node object represents a singular "chunk" of content within the context of a Vizy field. Each node has a type, attributes and different logic on how it should be rendered. Some nodes have block content, whilst others have no content.
Each Node shares the following attributes and methods.
Attribute | Description |
type | Returns the type of node this is. |
tagName | Returns name for the HTML tag the node should use. |
attrs | Returns an array of node attributes. This will vary for each node type. |
content | Returns an array of nested Node objects. |
marks | Returns an array of nested Mark objects. |
text | Returns any body text for this node. |
Method | Description |
selfClosing() | Whether this node has a self-closing tag. |
isDeleted() | Whether this node has been deleted. Only applicable to Vizy Blocks. |
isEmpty() | Whether the node is considered empty of content. |
getTag() | Returns the HTML tag name and attributes the node should use for the HTML tag. |
getField() | Returns the Vizy field model. |
getType() | Returns the type of node this is. |
getMarks() | Returns an array of nested Mark objects. |
getAttrs() | Returns any attributes stored against the node. |
getContent() | Returns an array of nested Node objects. |
getText() | Returns any body text for this node. |
renderNode() | Renders the node using in-built defaults. |
renderHtml() | Returns the result from renderNode() in raw HTML. |
renderOpeningTag() | Renders the opening tag for the node. |
renderClosingTag() | Renders the closing tag for the node. |

Due to Vizy Blocks being able to support custom fields, you can directly call a custom field's handle on a Vizy Block node object.
For example, you might have a custom field attached to a Vizy Block with the handle plainText
. You could access this value via:
{{ node.plainText }}
{# Shortcut for: #}
{{ node.values.content.fields.plainText }}
It's not recommended to use node.values.content.fields
to retrieve field content unless you know what you're doing. The direct access method runs field content through normalizeValue()
in order to convert the raw, plain values stored in the database, to values the corresponding field requires. For instance, a Date field would convert a plain text date into a DateTime object.
