Custom defined css classes do not work if I use editor.setStyle(css_text);
Question
I need to set styles using the data I receive from the database asynchronously. But then the css I composed manually gets removed.
const cssComposer = editor.CssComposer;
var sm = editor.SelectorManager;
var sel1 = sm.add('simple-div');
var rule = cssComposer.add([sel1]);
// Update the style
rule.set('style', {
width: '100%',
height:'auto',
padding:'15px',
float: 'left',
});
the above class .simple-div doesn't exist If I use setStyle()
