convertFromRaw returns an Array of ContentBlocks not a ContentState

[dustin-H]

Hi there,

As documented here the function convertFromRaw should return a ContentState object.

However it returns an array of ContentBlock objects.

This works:

var data = '{"entityMap":{},"blocks":[{"key":"4oah6","text":"Dieser Test","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[{"offset":7,"length":4,"style":"BOLD"},{"offset":0,"length":11,"style":"CODE"},{"offset":0,"length":6,"style":"ITALIC"}],"entityRanges":[]}]}'

var json = JSON.parse(data)

var blockArray = convertFromRaw(json);

var contentState = ContentState.createFromBlockArray(blockArray);

var editorState = EditorState.createWithContent(contentState);

However this throws an error:

var contentState = convertFromRaw(json);

var editorState = EditorState.createWithContent(contentState);

Error:

Is this a mistake in the docs or a bug?

Great catch. It's a mistake in the docs.

Ok, thanks... PR is in progress ;)

Hi there,

There is still mistake in the docs: https://facebook.github.io/draft-js/docs/api-reference-data-conversion.html#content

convertFromRaw(rawState: RawDraftContentState): ContentState

[dustin-H]

Where? Can't find it.

Here is a screenshot of this page: https://facebook.github.io/draft-js/docs/api-reference-data-conversion.html#content

I marked the mistake with the red rectangle

[dustin-H]

What do you think should be there instead?

[maksimsemenov]

From conversation above instead of ContentState there should be array of ContentBlocks

[dustin-H]

Ah, now I see. I had fixed this in PR.

However, it was changed it back by @hellendag here

This was because the return type has changed here.

In PR #333 it was discussed a bit.

So docs are correct.

Oh, thanks. I used a 0.5.0 version and it was returning an array of ContentBlocks, so I thought that there is a mistake in docs. Now, after I've updated to 0.6.0 it works fine.
