Medium Editor not pre-filling value in VueJS directive

Question

I am attempting to integrate the medium editor with a VueJs directive.

It is working well but the initial value prop for the field is not initially populating the medium editor. As soon as I update the text in the medium editor the link is established and the html is populated in the textarea.

Directive:

Vue.directive('wysiwyg', {
  bind () {
    let editor = new MediumEditor(this.el)
  }
})

Element:

<textarea v-wysiwyg name="{{ name }}" class="wysiwyg">{{ value }}</textarea>

It appears that the bind function runs before the value is populated in the textarea.

Anyone had any experience integrating these two?

Answer 1

Yes, a bind on the container will happen before the binding of its contents. You can wait for it by using nextTick.

Vue.directive('wysiwyg', {
  bind() {
    Vue.nextTick(() => new MediumEditor(this.el));
  }
});

new Vue({
  el: 'body',
  data: {
    value: 'Initial text'
  }
});
