How to Get the Froala Editor's Instance in React

As a web developer, you might find yourself needing to integrate rich text editors like Froala into your React applications. However, getting the instance of the Froala editor in React can be tricky, especially when the official documentation primarily focuses on jQuery implementations. In this post, we’ll guide you through the process of obtaining the Froala editor's instance directly within your React components.

The Problem

You may encounter scenarios where you need direct access to the Froala editor’s methods and properties in your React components. The need to dynamically control the editor's functionality, such as retrieving or setting content, is essential for building interactive applications. However, without clear guidance, integrating the editor with React can be frustrating.
