trumbowyg editor with vuejs - vue-component

Question

I am using the trumbowyg editor control in my vuejs spa. From the documentation I know that I can use the following code to set the contents of the editor.
$('#editor').trumbowyg('html','<p>Your content here</p>');
$('#editor').trigger('tbwchange');
However, it is not working for me in my VueJs App. I have an object that has a description key defined. I can console.log the description , but when I try to assign it to the editor control as mentioned above, it fails . I can see no error in the console but the text just won't show up in the editor.
Here is what I am going at the moment.
<template>
<div class="modal fade" data-backdrop="static" data-keyboard="false">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-lg">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<h4 class="modal-title">
<span v-if="anouncement">Edit Anouncement</span>
<span v-else>New Anouncement</span>
</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" placeholder="enter anouncement summary here" class="form-control" v-model="anouncementObj.summary">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" placeholder="enter location here" class="form-control" v-model="anouncementObj.location">
</div>
<textarea class="note-view__body" id="anonDescription" v-model="description" placeholder="enter event description"></textarea>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" v-on:click="clear()" class="btn btn-link" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
<button type="button" v-on:click="performSave()" class="btn btn-link">Save</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
props : {
anouncement : Object
},
data() {
return {
anouncementObj :{}
}
},
mounted () {
this.makeTextBoxReady();
this.anouncementObj = Object.assign({},this.anouncementObj, this.anouncement || {});
$('#anonDescription').trumbowyg('html',this.anouncement.description);
$('#anonDescription').trigger('tbwchange');
console.log(this.anouncement.description);
},
methods : {
makeTextBoxReady: function() {
$(document).ready(function() {
if (!$('html').is('.ie9')) {
if ($('.note-view__body')[0]) {
$('.note-view__body').trumbowyg({
autogrow: true,
btns: [
'btnGrp-semantic', ['formatting'],
'btnGrp-justify',
'btnGrp-lists', ['removeformat']
]
});
}
}
});
},
performSave : function() {
let description = $('#anonDescription').trumbowyg('html');
let formData = new FormData();
for (name in this.anouncementObj) {
formData.append(name, this.anouncementObj[name]);
}
if( !this.anouncementObj.id) {
this.anouncementObj.id = 0;
}
formData.append('description',description);
this.$http.post('/admin/anouncement/createOrUpdate', formData).then(response => {
// console.log(response);
if(response.data.status==200) {
alert(response.data.message);
this.$emit('getAnouncements');
}
})
},
clear: function() {
this.anouncementObj= {};
}
}
}
</script>
Can you please let me know what I am doing wrong here? I have also tried the nexttick approach but even that is not working.

Answer 1

I got it working. I was not using the correct bootstrap modal id. Please see this related question for more information.
This is the correct code.
if(this.anouncementObj && this.anouncementObj.description && this.anouncementObj.id) {
$('#'+this.anouncementObj.id+' #anonDescription').trumbowyg('html',this.anouncementObj.description);
$('#'+this.anouncementObj.id+' #anonDescription').trigger('tbwchange');
}
