Draft.js editor is empty

How to test if the content of draftjs editor is empty?

The only idea that I have now is an object comparison against the object returned from this function : EditorState.createEmpty().getCurrentContent()

// All just you need is:
const contentState = editorState.getCurrentContent();
const rawContentState = convertToRaw(contentState);
const text = rawContentState.blocks[0].text.trim();

//See the full code below:
   

const [editorState, setEditorState] = useState(EditorState.createEmpty());
const [errorMessage, setErrorMessage] = useState('');


const handleSubmit = () => {
  const contentState = editorState.getCurrentContent();
  const rawContentState = convertToRaw(contentState);
  const text = rawContentState.blocks[0].text.trim();

  if (text === '') {
    setErrorMessage('Please enter some content before submitting.');
  } else {
    // Proceed with submission logic
    setErrorMessage('');
    // Your submission logic goes here
  }
};

 contentState.hasText() && contentState.getPlainText().length > 0

Check

  • Empty
  • White Space

Just use the hasText function on ContentState : 

editorState.getCurrentContent().hasText()

export const isEmptyDraftJs = (rawState) => {
  if (!rawState || _.isEmpty(rawState)) { // filter undefined and {}
    return true;
  }
  const contentState = convertFromRaw(rawState);
  return !(contentState.hasText() && (contentState.getPlainText() !== ''));
};

I am not sure it is perfect but I use above code.

When you add just image, there is an space character so getPlainText() can filter only image draftJS.
