initialValue will overwrite newer set value

The content of the Editor is loaded asynchronously, but I wanted to render the Editor itself already, because it takes quite some time. Problem is, that when changing the “value” attribute between the initial mounting and the final init of the editor, it will be overwritten by the “init” callback:

in src/components/Editor.tsx:

editor.on('init', () => {
  this.initEditor(editor, initialValue);
});

I think the solution would be to guess the initialValue in the “initEditor” function instead of giving it here as an parameter.

I was not. I was using value. Async is the problem, it works like this:

1. Editor is initialized first time with value="", that value is set inside the editor.on('init',...) event
2. Asynchronously loaded initial values arrive and are given to the editor component with value="initial" and are set through the componentWillReceiveProps function
3. Editor is loaded, init event is fired which overwrites the content with the older value from the initialization

Works like a charm, thanks.
