@express-document-sdk / PageNode
Class: PageNode
A PageNode represents a page in the document. A page contains one or more artboards, representing "scenes" in a linear timeline sequence. Those artboards in turn contain all the visual content of the document.
Hierarchy

Implements
Readonly<IRectangularNode>
Accessors
allChildren
• get allChildren(): Readonly<Iterable<BaseNode>>
Returns a read-only list of all children of the node. General-purpose content containers such as ArtboardNode or
GroupNode also provide a mutable children list. Other nodes with a more specific structure can
hold children in various discrete "slots"; this allChildren list includes all such children and reflects their
overall display z-order.
Although BaseNode's allChildren may yield other BaseNodes, the subclasses Node and ArtboardNode override allChildren to guarantee all their children are full-fledged Node instances.
Returns
Readonly<Iterable<BaseNode>>
Inherited from
BaseNode.allChildren
artboards
• get artboards(): ArtboardList
The artboards or "scenes" of a page, ordered by timeline sequence.
Returns
height
• get height(): number
The height of the node. All Artboards within a page share the same dimensions.
Returns
number
Implementation of
Readonly.height
id
• get id(): string
A unique identifier for this node that stays the same when the file is closed & reopened, or if the node is moved to a different part of the document.
Returns
string
Inherited from
BaseNode.id
name
• get name(): undefined | string
The page's name. Displayed as a user-editable label above the current artboard in the UI.
Returns
undefined | string
• set name(name): void
Parameters
| Name | Type |
|---|---|
name | undefined | string |
Returns
void
parent
• get parent(): undefined | BaseNode
The node's parent. The parent chain will eventually reach ExpressRootNode for all nodes that are part of the document content.
Nodes that have been deleted are "orphaned," with a parent chain that terminates in undefined without reaching the
root node. Such nodes cannot be selected, so it is unlikely to encounter one unless you retain a reference to a node
that was part of the document content earlier. Deleted nodes can be reattached to the scenegraph, e.g. via Undo.
Returns
undefined | BaseNode
Inherited from
BaseNode.parent
type
• get type(): SceneNodeType
The node's type.
Returns
Inherited from
BaseNode.type
width
• get width(): number
The width of the node. All Artboards within a page share the same dimensions.
Returns
number
Implementation of
Readonly.width
Methods
cloneInPlace
▸ cloneInPlace(): PageNode
Clones this page, all artboards within it, and all content within those artboards. The cloned page is the same size as the original. Adds the new page immediately after this one in the pages list. The first artboard in the cloned page becomes the default target for newly inserted content (insertionParent) and the viewport switches to display this artboard.
Returns
the cloned page.
removeFromParent
▸ removeFromParent(): void
Removes the node from its parent - effectively deleting it, if the node is not re-added to another parent before the document is closed.
If parent is a basic ContainerNode, this is equivalent to node.parent.children.remove(node). For nodes with other
child "slots," removes the child from whichever slot it resides in, if possible. Throws if the slot does not permit
removal. No-op if node is already an orphan.
Returns
void
