Trying to save to firestore

I was trying to save data from quill to firestore and restore it next time I need quill. I initially tried to extract the html and then find the method to restor it to quill, but soon found out that _“dangerouslyPasteHTML” is big no no. So next I tried just save the data as a Delta object and then I can easily restore it using “setContents” . However, and here comes the problem firestore doesn’t allow custom object to be saved only pure object. Meaning I can use Object.assing({},DeltaObj) but then I’ll lose all delta methods and can’t restore the content.

So my question is is there is way to save and retrieve data from quill to firestore and back to quill. Or is it that quill and firestore incompatible? thanks.

If you need it as array:

quill.getContents().ops;

If you need it as string:

JSON.stringify(quill.getContents());

After seeing the example that benbro referenced I went and try to hack again at a solution and I think I found one. Not sure if it’s best practice or any thing but seems to work.

//save the ops (which contains the array similar to the example above) property of the Delta Object into a variable 

let x=quill.getContents().ops;
//now you can send x to the database. Next time you can use x to load the text
quill.setContents(x);

I’ll double check and try this on firestore and then close the issue. But for now I don’t see what this wouldn’t work.
