Get CodeMirror instance

Question

I want to get an instance of CodeMirror (it is binded to a textarea \'#code\'). From an onclick-event I want to add a value to the current value of the CodeMirror instance.

Answer 1

Another method I have found elsewhere is as follows:

//Get a reference to the CodeMirror editor
var editor = document.querySelector('.CodeMirror').CodeMirror;

This works well when you are creating the CodeMirror instance dynamically or replacing an existing DOM element with a CodeMirror instance.
