I'm trying to insert some HTML into jodit-react editor on my cursor position, it somehow inserts but not exactly at my cursor position

I'm trying to insert the following block on the cursor position:

Inserted Text

I've used following methods to get the exact cursor position:

• this.jodit.selectionStart
• window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0).startOffset

my function buttonClick inserts it inside the line but is unable to recapture the changed cursor position when I try inserting it.

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import jodit from "jodit";
import "./App.css";
import JoditEditor from "jodit-react";

class App extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      content: "",
      pos: 0,
    };
  }

  updateContent = (value) => {
    this.setState({
      content: value,
      pos: window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0).startOffset,
    });
  };
  buttonClick = (event) => {
    var abc = this.state.content.slice(
      this.jodit.selectionStart,
      this.jodit.selectionEnd + 1
    );
    var startString = this.state.content.substring(0, this.state.pos + 3);
    var endString = this.state.content.substring(this.jodit.selectionEnd);
    console.log("abc" + startString + "::::::" + endString);
    this.setState({
      content: startString + '<a href="#">Inserted Text</a>' + endString,
    });
  };
  config = {
    readonly: false,
  };
  /**
   * @property Jodit jodit instance of native Jodit
   */
  jodit;
  setRef = (jodit) => (this.jodit = jodit);
  render() {
    return (
      <>
        <JoditEditor
          ref={this.setRef}
          value={this.state.content}
          config={this.config}
          tabIndex={1} // tabIndex of textarea
          onBlur={this.onFocusRemove}
          onChange={this.updateContent}
        />
        <button onClick={this.buttonClick}>insert</button>
      </>
    );
  }
}

export default App;

I also tried the above code with this.jodit.selectionstart instead ofwindow.getSelection().getRangeAt(0).startOffset but issue remained.

According to what I analysed, onChange handler updates the cursor position whenever we input something, but when we change the cursor position it do not update it again.

Add below in the config object

config = {
      readonly: false, // all options from https://xdsoft.net/jodit/doc/
      events: 
           { 
            afterInit: (instance) => { this.jodit = instance; } 

}


buttonClick = (event) => { 
     this.jodit.selection.insertHTML('<a href="">Anchor Tag</a>'); 
};

This way you will get instance of editor after afterInit. This should solve your problem.
