Integrating With Forms design

[denis-sokolov]

The current way to submit the value is

<input id="x" type="hidden" name="content">
<trix-editor input="x"></trix-editor>

This is clunky and requires establishing a global id.
Perhaps instead a name attribute on the trix-editor should create the hidden input itself?

<trix-editor name="x"></trix-editor>

The editor can create a hidden input with the name x and put it next to itself.

Similar for value setting:

<input id="x" value="Editor content goes here" type="hidden" name="content">
<trix-editor input="x"></trix-editor>

<trix-editor name="content" value="Editor content goes here"></trix-editor>

Hey @denis-sokolov, thanks for the feedback!

We initially had a setup similar to your proposal, but ultimately chose clarity over clunkiness. When you create the input element yourself, you know exactly what you're getting.
