draft-js toJS and fromJS EditorState

Question

Trying to serialize & deserialize draft-js EditorState. Couldn't make fromJS create EditorState. sandbox

What I'm trying to achive is to re-create EditorState from serialized javascript object.

Thanks

EditorState maintains undo and redo stacks of ContentState objects. The current ContentState provides, well, the current content:

myContentState = myEditorState.getCurrentContent();

It sounds like what you really want to do is convert the EditorState's current ContentState to raw JS.

This is achieved via the utility function convertToRaw():

myRawJSState = convertToRaw(myContentState);

When it's time to reapply the contents, the companion utility function is convertFromRaw():

myRestorableState = convertFromRaw(JSON.parse(myRawJSState));

Import details and additional info appear on this SO issue.

A detailed example appears at ReactRocket.

Good luck. This isn't easy to parse from the documentation until you know the name of the method you're looking for!
