How to get current notebook content ?

[stefaneidelloth]

Lets say I created an instance of StarboardEmbed with

const el = new StarboardEmbed({
        notebookContent: "# %% [javascript]\n3+5\n",
        src: "https://cdn.starboard.gg/npm/starboard-notebook@0.13.2/dist/index.html"
    });

How can I get the current notebook text?

I would expect something like

let content = el.value

or

let content = el.sendMessage({type ="GET_CONTENT"})

=> How does it actually work?

As a workaround its possible to

• keep the content as state of a parent component
• set the initial notebook content and
• listen to changes of the notebook to update the state
