setState() not changing the "value" props in Editor.render()?

[tomkcey]

Greetings,

In this code, when I change the state of the component with setState(), it does go into the render() method, but does not actually change the display to reflect the new state.

I placed the this.state in the "value" props of the Editor component.

Here's a link to the code: demo-jsoneditor-react

Did you manage to figure this out? I'm stuck at this too. It currently has a shouldComponentUpdate which only updates with changes to htmlElementProps.

To make it worked I added a key prop which changes if the value changes since this forces a new component to be generated. Not a great solution but nothing else seemed to work.

Nah, still waiting to see how he managed that. I'll return to it this afternoon.

As discussed there you can get reference of JSONEditor and change state manually, because of breaking functionality. For changing state use #4 (comment)
