Hi @Maijied - can you give an example of what you want to do? I need more info to help you.

Some helpful methods:
ContentState.getPlainText() -> https://draftjs.org/docs/api-reference-content-state.html#getplaintext

ContentState.createFromText() -> https://draftjs.org/docs/api-reference-content-state.html#createfromtext

You could read the "innerText" of the editor using getPlainText, change the text, and then create a new updated contentState using createFromText and then pass the updated contentState to your Draft.js editor.

@flarnie how i'll copy editor innerText by a button. Like Copy To Clipboard method. Thanks in advance.

And basically i work in draft.js for making a editor where editor automatically check #Bangla spell by calling API and suggest 2 gram data(Text).

I think this should demonstrate how you can do it:

This demonstrates -

• how to copy the current selection to the clipboard
• how to set the selection in the Draft editor
• how to get the text of the editor

I hope you can use the example to do what you need, let me know if there is more to your question.
