Stuck in endless loop (crashes browser)

Hey Guys,

I’m using the convertToHTML method and I managed to get stuck into an endless loop with it, that crashes the browser. Just wanted you to be aware of it.

This is how I used it:

import{ convertToHTML } from "draft-convert";
const html = convertToHTML(this.state.editorState.getCurrentContent());

The only special thing I do before calling this method was to initialize Draft.js with a raw document ({blocks: [...], entityMap: {}}) that I had stored in my DB (contains bulletpoints). Like this:

var jsonFromDB = {blocks: [...], entityMap: {}};
var blocks = convertFromRaw(jsonFromDB);
var editorState = EditorState.createWithContent(
     blocks, decorator
);

this.setState({
    editorState: editorState,
});

yeah sorry for not being super helpful yet. I’m going to take the time to reproduce this issue in a JSFiddle next week. My hunch is that the while-loop in convertToHTML is never exiting in this scenario.

i think it’d be odd to throw one for that instance without validating the entire structure (which i think is pretty far outside the charter of this project). additionally, i’d expect that these differences are going to cause issues not just with draft-convert but with core draft-js functionality, such as this operation. i think its fair for this project to make the same amount of assumptions as draft-js and have undefined behavior for invalid input.
