slate-auto-replace not compatible with Slate 30.6 about slate-plugins HOT 3 CLOSED

After checking, this plugin does work with the latest version of Slate but the documentation is out of date.

The transform description should probably be changed to say change instead of transform:

A function to apply the desired transform. It will be called with change, e, matches, editor from the event handler. The matching (before and after) text is deleted but are accessible inside matches.before and matches.after.

Also recommend the example be updated

// Add the plugin to your set of plugins...
const plugins = [
  AutoReplace({
    trigger: 'space',
    before: /^(>)$/,
    transform: (change, e, matches, editor) => {
      change.setBlock({ type: 'quote' })
    }
  })
]

Should the option itself be renamed from transform to change for consistency?

May have jumped the gun here.

The documentation still uses transform instead of change but looking at the source code, I see change in there.

I'm going to go test it out now and will report back.

Hey @thesunny it's been working for me all along:

AutoReplace({
    trigger: /(")/,
    before: /(^)|[ ]$/,
    transform: (transform, event, matches) => {
      return transform.insertText("“") // smart double quote (left)
    }
  }),

I think of transform in this case as an alias. Changing that might have require making breaking changes on all plugins and slate core as well... so I'm OK with it as-is.
