# Events
## Introduction
The editor fires a few different events that you can hook into. Lets have a look at all the available events first:
## List of available events
### beforeCreate
Before the view is created.
### create
The editor is ready.
### update
The content has changed.
### selectionUpdate
The selection has changed.
### transaction
The editor state has changed.
### focus
The editor is focused.
### blur
The editor isnt focused anymore.
### destroy
The editor is being destroyed.
## Register event listeners
There are three ways to register event listeners.
### Option 1: Configuration
You can define your event listeners on a new editor instance right-away:
```js
const editor = new Editor({
onBeforeCreate({ editor }) {
// Before the view is created.
},
onCreate({ editor }) {
// The editor is ready.
},
onUpdate({ editor }) {
// The content has changed.
},
onSelectionUpdate({ editor }) {
// The selection has changed.
},
onTransaction({ editor, transaction }) {
// The editor state has changed.
},
onFocus({ editor, event }) {
// The editor is focused.
},
onBlur({ editor, event }) {
// The editor isnt focused anymore.
},
onDestroy() {
// The editor is being destroyed.
},
})
```
### Option 2: Binding
Or you can register your event listeners on a running editor instance:
#### Bind event listeners
```js
editor.on('beforeCreate', ({ editor }) => {
// Before the view is created.
})
editor.on('create', ({ editor }) => {
// The editor is ready.
})
editor.on('update', ({ editor }) => {
// The content has changed.
})
editor.on('selectionUpdate', ({ editor }) => {
// The selection has changed.
})
editor.on('transaction', ({ editor, transaction }) => {
// The editor state has changed.
})
editor.on('focus', ({ editor, event }) => {
// The editor is focused.
})
editor.on('blur', ({ editor, event }) => {
// The editor isnt focused anymore.
})
editor.on('destroy', () => {
// The editor is being destroyed.
})
```
#### Unbind event listeners
If you need to unbind those event listeners at some point, you should register your event listeners with `.on()` and unbind them with `.off()` then.
```js
const onUpdate = () => {
// The content has changed.
}
// Bind …
editor.on('update', onUpdate)
// … and unbind.
editor.off('update', onUpdate)
```
### Option 3: Extensions
Moving your event listeners to custom extensions (or nodes, or marks) is also possible. Heres how that would look like:
```js
import { Extension } from '@tiptap/core'
const CustomExtension = Extension.create({
onBeforeCreate({ editor }) {
// Before the view is created.
},
onCreate({ editor }) {
// The editor is ready.
},
onUpdate({ editor }) {
// The content has changed.
},
onSelectionUpdate({ editor }) {
// The selection has changed.
},
onTransaction({ editor, transaction }) {
// The editor state has changed.
},
onFocus({ editor, event }) {
// The editor is focused.
},
onBlur({ editor, event }) {
// The editor isnt focused anymore.
},
onDestroy() {
// The editor is being destroyed.
},
})
```
