Any way to control value directly

[eoinmurray]

Instead of using initialValue...

Something like:

<ReactSimpleMDE
    value: this.props.value
/>

So that it can be controlled by some higher level component?

Can you explain the use case in more detail?

Does setting the initial value using props not get what you wish to achieve? -

<ReactSimpleMDE
    initialValue: this.props.value
/>

[eoinmurray]

it only sets the initial value - so if somewhere higher up the component hierarchy the value changes then currently ReactSimpleMDE doesn't reflect that

Sure, I see what your saying, thanks for pointing out. My simple use case never exposed this issue. I'll be pushing an update shortly.
