There is no getObjects method?

Version 3.3.0

Development Environment

Ubuntu, Chrome

Current Behavior

Currently there is only one way to get coordinates from objects which is getObjectProperties(id) but this requires an id as a parameter.
I wonder if there is anything similar to get an array with all the objects properties

Expected Behavior

Something like this

getObjectsProperties(['id', 'left', 'top'])
[
  {id: 1, left: 100, top: 100},
  {id: 2, left: 200, top: 200},
...
]

Okay, I'll consider best way to provide existing canvas objects with simple interface.

Hi anyone , is there any updates on this feature? I found the need for this method in our use case also where we need to get all the objects and their properties to be saved on a persistent storage so that it can be accessed again. Kindly point me to the right direction, if anyone could help. Thanks!

I have managed to get the set of objects (along with the needed properties) by inspecting the getInstance() of the component like so on react that uses the @toast-ui/react-image-editor:

// editor ref
const editor = useRef();

// handler that can be bind to `onClick` of an element for inspection or further processing
const handleClick = () => {
    const editorInstance = editor.current?.getInstance();

    let objects = [];

    for (let [key, values] of Object.entries(editorInstance._graphics._objects)) {
      objects.push({...values}); 
    }

    console.log('objects', objects);
};

// the ui editor
<ImageEditor
    ref={editor}
    ...otherProps
/>

The instance contains the _graphics property and inside it is _objects that contains the objects present on the editor.

I'm sorry, but it hasn't been updated yet.
Why don't you use imageEditor._graphics.getObjects() instead?

Hi @lja1018 , thanks for the response. Will try out that one. I thought there was no available method because I just rely on the documentation. Hope you can add that one?

Thank you. I think I need it, too. I will think positively.
