Cannot access editorJS instance

[jimmycrequer]

Environment

• @editorjs/editorjs version: 2.0.6
• react-editor-js version: v2.23.0-rc.0

Describe

With the newest version we are no longer able to access the editorJS instance. However, our application relies on having access to that instance to handle some specific logic, such as appending a new empty block on readonly toggle.

What do you recommend to handle such cases?

@jimmycrequer Hi! First of all, thanks for your interest! 👋

I'm sorry. Can you show me an example of the use case?

Thanks!

@Jungwoo-An Sorry for long wait !

I want to do something like this :

const Editor: FC = (data) => {
  const editorJS = useRef<EditorJS>();

  const ReactEditorJS = createReactEditorJS();

  return (
    <>
      <ReactEditorJS
        onInitialize={(instance) => { editorJS.current = instance }}
        defaultValue={data}
        tools={EDITOR_JS_TOOLS}
      />
      <button onClick={() => { editorJS.current!.blocks.insert() }}>
        Add an empty block
      </button>
    </>
  );
};

But with the latest version, we don't have access to blocks anymore.

What is the recommended approach to handle such case?

Has anyone found a way to use blocks in the most recent version?
