Topic: How to initialize WYSIWYG on a dynamically generated HTML element?
Marvin Herbold priority asked 3 years ago
Simple question - how do you initialize WYSIWYG on a dynamically generated HTML element?
For example, to initialize form-outline on dynamically generated HTML elements, one would do:
document.querySelectorAll( '.form-outline' ).forEach( ( element ) =>
{
new mdb.Input( element ).init();
} );
To start off with initializing WYSIWYG on dynamically generated HTML elements I have the following so far...
document.querySelectorAll( '.wysiwyg' ).forEach( ( element ) =>
{
// what to do here?
} );
Thank you for your help.

In fact, WYSIWYG must be initialized on a div element. You can add these attributes via JS.
document.querySelector('.wysiwyg-textarea').dataset.myCustomAttribute = 'value';

I tried that already (it was the first thing I tried) - but when I do that, I get an error -
all.min.js:323 Uncaught TypeError: Illegal invocation
at Object.find (all.min.js:323)
at o.value (all.min.js:323)
at new o (all.min.js:323)

After checking the documents some more, it looks like I cannot use WYSIWYG on a textarea element - I must be using a div element instead. Unfortunately, there are attributes that I need to have set on the textarea element for my code to work -- so I need to do some thinking.
