Does anyone have an example to reflect the updates in an editor instance to another instance?
The docs for Lexical.js are very poor.
I got this working using a custom plugin, which I hate that I had to do:
<Main>
<LexicalComposer initialConfig={initialConfig}>
<UpdateEditorPlugin
jsonString={stateString}
/>
</LexicalComposer>
<LexicalComposer initialConfig={initialConfig}>
<UpdateEditorPlugin
jsonString={stateString}
/>
</LexicalComposer>
</Main>
Plugin:
export default function UpdateEditorPlugin({
//@ts-ignore
jsonString
}): JSX.Element | null {
const [editor] = useLexicalComposerContext();
useEffect(() => {
editor.update(() => {
const newState = editor.parseEditorState(jsonString);
queueMicrotask(() => {
editor.setEditorState(newState);
});
});
}, [jsonString]);
return null;
}
But the editor loses focus after each keystroke. If you work that one out, let me know. Plenty of people having issues with the editor stealing focus when updated, on the Lexical discord: https://lexical.dev/community
Hopefully this is a really bad way of doing it, which will spur someone on to give a better answer!
