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

You can simply drop the var: instead of having

var editor = CodeMirror.fromTextArea...

Just have

editor = CodeMirror.fromTextArea...

Then editor is directly available to use in other functions
