OpenSCD is a plugin-based editor for editing XML files in the IEC 61850-6 "SCL" dialect directly in the browser.
OpenSCD core is the central supervisory component which coordinates the work of all the plugins, allowing them to work together in editing the same SCL document.
An OpenSCD plugin is a JavaScript module which exports a particular custom element class as its default export. OpenSCD core imports the module, registers its custom element under a uniquely generated tag name, and finally renders a new element with that tag name into the app.
An OpenSCD menu plugin is an OpenSCD plugin with an additional run()
instance method which is called when the plugin's entry is clicked in OpenSCD's menu. It is continuously rendered into the app and is expected to normally not display any content of its own. It is meant for one-shot editing tasks or tasks that always run in the background (like validation).
An OpenSCD editor plugin is a OpenSCD plugin that is only rendered as long as the user has its tab selected in OpenSCD's tab bar. It is meant for rendering the main part of OpenSCD's user interface.
The OpenSCD core API describes the ways in which:
- OpenSCD core communicates relevant data to the plugins,
- plugins communicate user intent to OpenSCD core, and
- OpenSCD sets CSS fonts and colors for plugins.
OpenSCD core communicates the data necessary for editing SCL documents by setting the following properties on the plugin's DOM Element:
export default class MyPlugin extends HTMLElement {
docs: Record<string, XMLDocument> = {};
doc?: XMLDocument;
docName?: string;
editable: string[] = [
'cid',
'icd',
'iid',
'scd',
'sed',
'ssd',
];
history: LogEntry[];
editCount: number = 0;
plugins: { menu: Plugin[], editor: Plugin[] }[];
locale: string = 'en';
}
/** Helper types exported by OpenSCD core **/
type LogEntry = {
redo: Edit; // `Edit` defined below
undo: Edit;
title?: string
}
type Plugin = {
name: string;
translations?: Record<string, string>;
src: string;
icon: string; // Material icon name or image URL
requireDoc?: boolean; // disable plugin if no doc is opened
}
docs
is set to an object mapping string
keys (document names) to XMLDocument
values.
The name of the XMLDocument
currently being edited.
The XMLDocument
currently being edited.
Filename extensions of user-editable documents.
History of edits done to doc
.
A change in the property indicates a change to the doc
as a result of edits (including undo and redo).
Arrays of Plugin
objects describing the currently loaded menu
and editor
plugins, respectively.
Selected language (IETF language tag).
Plugins communicate user intent to OpenSCD core by dispatching the following custom events:
The edit event allows a plugin to describe the changes it wants to make to the current doc
.
export type EditDetailV2<E extends Edit = Edit> = {
edit: E;
title?: string;
squash?: boolean;
}
export type EditEventV2<E extends Edit = Edit> = CustomEvent<EditDetailV2<E>>;
export type EditEventOptions = {
title?: string;
squash?: boolean;
}
export function newEditEventV2<E extends Edit>(edit: E, options: EditEventOptions): EditEventV2<E> {
return new CustomEvent<E>('oscd-edit-v2', {
composed: true,
bubbles: true,
detail: {...options, edit},
});
}
declare global {
interface ElementEventMap {
['oscd-edit-v2']: EditEventV2;
}
}
Its title
property is a human-readable description of the edit for displaying in the editing history dialog.
The squash
flag indicates whether the edit should be merged with the previous edit in the history.
The EditDetailV2
defined above contains an edit
of this type:
export type EditV2 = Insert | SetAttributes | SetTextContent | Remove | Edit[];
This means that a single edit can either consist in a sequence of other edits or in one of the following atomic edit types:
Intent to set or remove (if null) attributes on
element
.
export type SetAttributes = {
element: Element;
attributes: Partial<Record<string, string | null>>;
attributesNS: Partial<Record<string, Partial<Record<string, string | null>>>>;
};
Intent to set the
textContent
ofelement
.
export type SetTextContent = {
element: Element;
textContent: string;
};
Intent to
parent.insertBefore(node, reference)
export type Insert = {
parent: Node;
node: Node;
reference: Node | null;
};
Intent to remove a
node
from itsownerDocument
.
export type Remove = {
node: Node;
};
The open event allows a plugin to add a document doc
to the docs
collection under the name docName
.
export type OpenDetail = {
doc: XMLDocument;
docName: string;
};
export type OpenEvent = CustomEvent<OpenDetail>;
export function newOpenEvent(doc: XMLDocument, docName: string): OpenEvent {
return new CustomEvent<OpenDetail>('oscd-open', {
bubbles: true,
composed: true,
detail: { doc, docName },
});
}
declare global {
interface ElementEventMap {
['oscd-open']: OpenEvent;
}
}
The wizard event allows the plugin to request opening a modal dialog enabling the user to edit an arbitrary SCL element
, regardless of how the dialog for editing this particular type of element looks and works.

interface WizardRequestBase {
subWizard?: boolean;
}
export interface EditWizardRequest extends WizardRequestBase {
element: Element;
}
export interface CreateWizardRequest extends WizardRequestBase {
parent: Element;
tagName: string;
}
export type WizardRequest = EditWizardRequest | CreateWizardRequest;
type EditWizardEvent = CustomEvent<EditWizardRequest>;
type CreateWizardEvent = CustomEvent<CreateWizardRequest>;
export type WizardEvent = EditWizardEvent | CreateWizardEvent;
type CloseWizardEvent = CustomEvent<WizardRequest>;
export function newEditWizardEvent(
element: Element,
subWizard?: boolean,
eventInitDict?: CustomEventInit<Partial<EditWizardRequest>>
): EditWizardEvent {
return new CustomEvent<EditWizardRequest>('oscd-edit-wizard-request', {
bubbles: true,
composed: true,
...eventInitDict,
detail: { element, subWizard, ...eventInitDict?.detail },
});
}
export function newCreateWizardEvent(
parent: Element,
tagName: string,
subWizard?: boolean,
eventInitDict?: CustomEventInit<Partial<CreateWizardRequest>>
): CreateWizardEvent {
return new CustomEvent<CreateWizardRequest>('oscd-create-wizard-request', {
bubbles: true,
composed: true,
...eventInitDict,
detail: {
parent,
tagName,
subWizard,
...eventInitDict?.detail,
},
});
}
export function newCloseWizardEvent(
wizard: WizardRequest,
eventInitDict?: CustomEventInit<Partial<WizardRequest>>
): CloseWizardEvent {
return new CustomEvent<WizardRequest>('oscd-close-wizard', {
bubbles: true,
composed: true,
...eventInitDict,
detail: wizard,
});
}
declare global {
interface ElementEventMap {
['oscd-edit-wizard-request']: EditWizardRequest;
['oscd-create-wizard-request']: CreateWizardRequest;
['oscd-close-wizard']: WizardEvent;
}
}
The configure plugin event allows the plugin to request that OpenSCD core add, remove, or reconfigure a plugin.
export type ConfigurePluginDetail = {
name: string;
kind: 'menu' | 'editor';
config: Plugin | null;
};
export type ConfigurePluginEvent = CustomEvent<ConfigurePluginDetail>;
export function newConfigurePluginEvent(name: string, kind: 'menu' | 'editor', config: Plugin | null): ConfigurePluginEvent {
return new CustomEvent<ConfigurePluginDetail>('oscd-configure-plugin', {
bubbles: true,
composed: true,
detail: { name, kind, config },
});
}
The combination of name
and kind
uniquely identifies the plugin to be configured. If config
is null
, the plugin is removed. Otherwise, the plugin is added or reconfigured.
OpenSCD core sets the following CSS variables on the plugin:
* {
--oscd-primary: var(--oscd-theme-primary, #2aa198);
--oscd-secondary: var(--oscd-theme-secondary, #6c71c4);
--oscd-error: var(--oscd-theme-error, #dc322f);
--oscd-base03: var(--oscd-theme-base03, #002b36);
--oscd-base02: var(--oscd-theme-base02, #073642);
--oscd-base01: var(--oscd-theme-base01, #586e75);
--oscd-base00: var(--oscd-theme-base00, #657b83);
--oscd-base0: var(--oscd-theme-base0, #839496);
--oscd-base1: var(--oscd-theme-base1, #93a1a1);
--oscd-base2: var(--oscd-theme-base2, #eee8d5);
--oscd-base3: var(--oscd-theme-base3, #fdf6e3);
--oscd-text-font: var(--oscd-theme-text-font, 'Roboto');
--oscd-icon-font: var(--oscd-theme-icon-font, 'Material Icons');
}
It is expected that the fonts --oscd-theme-text-font
and --oscd-theme-icon-font
will be loaded in OpenSCD's index.html
file. OpenSCD core does not load any fonts by itself.
