Not able to update slate value from useEffect

[smadapathi]

Hello Team,

Thanks for the library!
We are unable to update slate value from the useEffect hook. I have created a sandbox link for reproducing the issue. If we comment line#24 in the above link, it works, but we were expecting it to work with setState in useEffect.
We would like to update slate value asynchronously, any suggestions would be of a great help.

Thanks,

Unfortunately for a variety of reasons, you cannot just replace the value - it is only used as the initial value of the editor. Changing the children like in your example is not safe in all situations.

This example shows one way to work around it by using on key to force the Editor to re-render when you need to change the editor contents 'externally'.
