React Refs

Extract context as a `ref`

In order to access the context properties of your editor from externally the following snippet should work.

It makes use of the less well known useImperativeHandle to attach the context from the editor to the ref within a forward ref component.

import React, { FC, forwardRef, useImperativeHandle } from 'react';
import { useRemirror } from 'remirror/react';

let EditorWithRef = (props: object, ref: RemirrorContext) => {
  const context = useRemirror();
  const { getRootProps } = context;

  useImperativeHandle(ref, () => context);

  return <div {...getRootProps} />;
};

EditorWithRef = forwardRef(EditorWithRef);
