Prerequisites

Configuration

The Editor component for ReactJS requires the following imports.

This is done in the componentDidMount() ReactJS Component Lifecycle method.

Events

The change event is triggered when the value is changed.

The following example demonstrates how to add an event listener:

Methods & Properties

This is how you call methods & props:

Every component have a method setOptions which accepts a object as an argument. This object contains component settings.

Every component also have a method getOptions which returns a object containing the component settings.
