Tinymce 6 - Plugin problem after migration from 5 to 6

Question

I have a problem with a plugin that was written for version 5. I found the cause, but I don't know how to fix this problem. In version 5 * during initialization eg.

tinymce.init ({
  selector: '#textarea',
  language: 'pl',
  external_filemanager_path: "test / test"
})

I was able to download the data via "editor.settings.external_filemanager_path". It doesn't work at this point. I tried to use "editor.options.get ('external_filemanager_path')" but it throws me "undefined". I don't only have access to "my" data. I can download typical data for tinymce without any problems.

Sorry for my English (PL).

EDIT.

I have one more problem. Unable to get data while executing functions during initialization, e.g.

tinymce.init({
   ***
   external_filemanager_path: 'xyz',
   file_picker_callback: function (cb, value, meta) {
      openmanager();
   }
});

function openmanager() {
   ***
   const test =  tinymce.options.get('external_filemanager_path');
}

* .options does not work

In TinyMCE 6 the settings have to be registered before you can get them.

For example in your plugin you should have:

editor.options.register('external_filemanager_path', {
  processor: 'string',
  default: ''
});

After that point you should be able to call editor.options.get('external_filemanager_path') to get the value of the setting.

The processor can be one of the possible options ('string', 'number', 'boolean', 'array', 'function', 'object', 'string[]', 'object[]', 'regexp') which allows that type, or it can be a function that takes in the value and return a boolean indicating if it is valid, or it can be a function that takes in the value and returns an object with a valid boolean property and a value property if it is valid or an message string property if it is invalid.

The typescript types for this are visible at the top of this file:

At the moment the docs are a bit lacking however this will eventually be fully documented on the page:
