I have an array of string that I want to pre-populate a draft.js editor with as an unordered list.
Here's the code:
const content = ContentState.createFromText(input.join('*'), '*')
const editorState = EditorState.createWithContent(content)
this.setState({
editorState: RichUtils.toggleBlockType(editorState, 'unordered-list-item'
})
This is only created a bullet point item for the first entry in the array but the other items are not inheriting the blockstyle.
Any ideas?
You can create array of ContentBlock
s with constructor new ContentBlock()
. And generate initial editor state with ContentState.createFromBlockArray
. Look at this jsfiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/levsha/uy04se6r/
constructor(props) {
super(props);
const input = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'];
const contentBlocksArray = input.map(word => {
return new ContentBlock({
key: genKey(),
type: 'unordered-list-item',
characterList: new List(Repeat(CharacterMetadata.create(), word.length)),
text: word
});
});
this.state = {
editorState: EditorState.createWithContent(ContentState.createFromBlockArray(contentBlocksArray))
};
}
