defaultActions>= v1.9.0

const defaultActions: BuiltInAction[]

Get the default set of actions available in the editor. Can be combined with custom actions.

Note: Built-in actions (those with IDs from BuiltInActionId) can omit handlers - they will be automatically populated with default implementations when passed to editor.setActions(). This allows you to customize labels, shortcuts, and order without needing to implement the behavior yourself. Built-in handlers can also be overridden by providing your own handler function.

Built-in action overrides also inherit the built-in action’s capabilities unless they provide explicit ActionCapability values; for example, document.export-pdf keeps document.read and formatting.bold keeps document.change. Custom actions (those with any other string ID) must provide a handler function. Custom actions that omit capabilities default to document.change, so view mode blocks them unless they explicitly declare only view-mode-safe capabilities.

Example

import { defaultActions } from '@nutrient-sdk/document-authoring';

// Customize a built-in action's metadata (handlers auto-populate for built-in actions)
editor.setActions([
  ...defaultActions.filter(({ id }) => id !== 'formatting.bold'),
  { id: 'formatting.bold', label: 'Make Bold', shortcuts: ['Mod+B'] },
]);

// Override a built-in action's behavior
editor.setActions([
  ...defaultActions.filter(({ id }) => id !== 'formatting.bold'),
  { id: 'formatting.bold', label: 'Bold', handler: () => console.log('custom bold!') },
]);

// Add custom actions (must provide handler)
editor.setActions([
  ...defaultActions.filter((a) => a.id !== 'document.export-pdf'),
  {
    id: 'custom.open-help',
    label: 'Open Help',
    capabilities: ['external.open'],
    handler: () => window.open('/help', '_blank'),
  },
]);
