How to get Editor State

[fallinthehole]

Hello! I have a pretty easy goal - i have parent component which has <InnerBlocks/>. Each inner block has index when i inspecting him via React dev tools. I want to get index of each inner block component by using method from gutenberg documentation: https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/handbook/designers-developers/developers/data/data-core-editor/#getblockindex

Each time it's returning -1. One of required arguments is editor state. So question is - how can i get this editor state. It should be obvious but seems like i missed something.

Thanks for help, appreciate your attention a lot!

Hi there! thanks for the issue. This tracker is not used for support requests though.

You may also ask for technical support at https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/.

That said, you probably want to use the withSelect higher order component (it will automatically pass the state value, you should only pass the remaining arguments).

See the documentation of the data module https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/packages/packages-data/

Thank you!
