CodeMirror 6 is used in a web based IDE that I use regularly.
Is there some way to access the editor instance? In the past, I could use the ‘CodeMirror’ class to find the DOM element and go from there but using ‘cm-editor’ doesn’t behave the same way.
I can see that there is a ‘findFromDom’ method on the EditorView class, which sounds like it might do what I need, but I have no idea how to access that.
Could somebody perhaps point me in the right direction?
Many thanks
Looking through the source for findFromDom, you can do:
let cmEditorElement = document.querySelector(".cm-editor") // Or whatever query you need
let editorView = cmEditorElement.querySelector(".cm-content").cmView.view
You can update the document and selection with this,
but to interact with the plugins/facets/fields, you’ll need references to their javascript values…
(Of course there might be ways to get those too, but then it gets very hacky)
Hope this helps.
Excellent! Thank you!
