Ace editor. Set current edits state as base

Question

I'm using ace editor wrapped by react-ace for my project.

How can I destroy all undo/redo history in certain moment when I need it?

I've tried this.aceRef.editor.destroy(); (just react ref bound with editor), but unfortunately it doesn't play well in some circumstances. So, I just need to clean undo/redo session/history or something like that.

Any solution?

It destroys editor, but I need to keep it. I just need to reset edits history. — WebArtisan, Apr 30 '18 at 09:30
All modifications of value will be stored in edits history. I need to reset history. — WebArtisan, Apr 30 '18 at 09:45
Have you tried: `editor.getSession().setUndoManager(new ace.UndoManager())`? — Colin Ricardo, Apr 30 '18 at 09:46

Ace editor actually has this reset method with UndoManager.

Then you need to assign temporary stored undomanager as base.

It could be done smth like that:

const { editor } = this.aceRef;
const session = editor.getSession();
const undoManager = session.getUndoManager();
undoManager.reset();
session.setUndoManager(undoManager);
