Dispatch changes to editor when detects a transaction

Hi, I’m new to the CM6 and having trouble working with the “Extension”.

I want to pair up “<” with “>” whenever the user types “<”. So far I can detect the input but have no idea how to proceed to apply further transaction.

Should I get a EditorView object somewhere and dispatch the changes. And if it is the way, how do I get the EditorView object?


this.registerEditorExtension([EditorState.transactionFilter.of(tr => {
			if (tr.isUserEvent("input"))
			{
				tr.changes.iterChanges((fromA, toA, fromB, toB, inserted) => {
					if (inserted.sliceString(0, inserted.length) === "<") {
						// create a new transaction
						// how do I dispatch the transaction to add ">" ?
					}
				});
			}
			return tr;
		})])
