Topic: Cannot get data from mdbWYSIWYG plugin or customize the functionality of the upload image button
*Expected behavior*I expected to be able to edit the content from inside the which the mdbWYSIWYG plugin works using jquery $("#textarea-container").html(content) or $("#textarea-container").val(content) . Also, the image button only allows to include link to images, I expected to be able to upload images.
*Actual behavior*Cannot get/set data from/to mdbWYSIWYG plugin using jquery or customize the functionality of the upload image button. I need to upload data when clicking the image button.
Resources (screenshots, code snippets, etc.)$("#post_description").mdbWYSIWYG();
The following code snippets do not work.
$("#textarea-container").html(description);
let content = $("#container").html();
$("#textarea-container").val(description);
let content = $("#container").val();
Hi, @Ruben Chevez!
I've just initialized my WYSIWYG like this:
$("#demo").mdbWYSIWYG();
And then, I was able to get its content:
$('#demo').val();
Everything looks like it works fine. What's the issue you're facing?
About the image upload, currently, it's not possible. I hope this will be added soon

Can you please show us how to set the content in both views visual and code.
Hi!
You can set WYSIWYG content before initializing it using JS. Your code should look like this:
$('#demo').val('Example')
$("#demo").mdbWYSIWYG();
Of course, you can set it using HTML too, just put your HTML code between <textarea></textarea> tags.
You can check effects here: https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/jquery/krzysztof-wilk/2362676#html-tab-view
But for now, I'm afraid you can't set content after initializing a WYSIWYG Editor, you have to do it before.
Best regards
