[question] How can an action be called from within a nodeView?

See original GitHub issue

Description

I’ve successfully set up a react nodeView (see https://github.com/ifiokjr/remirror/issues/129), but I cannot figure out how to call an action from within the nodeView.

The problem I’m having is that the Remirror context is not found (useRemirror throws an error), so I cannot get the actions from the context.

The problem I’m having is that the Remirror context is not found (useRemirror throws an error), so I cannot get the actions from the context.

@charlex this is a very good point. It would be difficult to add the same context as useRemirror but I see no reason why actions, manager, view and state can’t be added to a usePortalContext hook.

Let me quickly test it out and see if it would work.

@charlex it turns out that useRemirrorManager will currently not work since the Portals were broken. I’ve fixed them in the branch I’m working on and once I’ve untangled the code I’ll submit a PR.

For the curious:

The issue is to do with the following line.

https://github.com/ifiokjr/remirror/blob/c2fe2de0b5cfc51963f3a27c6e454a3a8f33210a/%40remirror/react/src/components/node-view-portal.tsx#L31

Changing renderFunction() to <renderFunction /> allows for hooks and context to be used from within the component.
