Set contents with Delta

[druti]

Add support for setting content with Delta.

Any update on this? Without it, I think I'll be stuck writing my own component wrapper around Quill, which I'd really rather not do.

I'd love to be able to store Deltas in my database instead of raw HTML, but without this, I'm not sure how to go about doing that.

Additionally, I'm using react-quill with redux-form, and they would work really well together if we could set the content with a Delta.

This will probably be the next feature. Quick poll - how do you want the API to work? Do you want setContents exposed directly, or do you want the value prop to take Deltas for the declarative API?

[alexkrolick]

Also note that you can access getEditor().setContents(...) with a ref to a ReactQuill instance right now.

[drock07]

Would it be possible to do some type checking on value? If it's a string, set the HTML, and if it's an object, attempt to setContents?

The ideal for my use case would be to just set value with the Delta.

@druti, @drock07, please have a look at the proposed Delta API, and let me know if it fits your needs.

[drock07]

Those changes are definitely sufficient for my needs. Thank you!

@drock07 can you share an example of how you use it with redux-form please?
