Change link (mark) text

[iamursky]

I'm trying to replace link text. I've tried insertContent and insertContentAt but they removes the mark itself:

// Bad code: link gets removed
editor
  .chain()
  .focus()
  .extendMarkRange("link")
  .insertContent(text)
  .setLink({ href, target })
  .run();

How to change the text of a link?

@hanspagel @philippkuehn is there any chance one of you might be able to give us an idea how we can change the text of a link?

It is not that hard, but you need to wrap it in an a tag:

editor
              .chain()
              .focus()
              .extendMarkRange('link')
              .insertContent(`<a href="${href}">${text}</a>`)
              .setLink({ href: settings.url, target: '_blank' })
              .run()

The extension will handle the rest.
