How to display the saved Draft-JS data in the Editor?

The data successfully saves to Meteor, I can see it in the console.log after refresh, but I cannot get it to display in the Editor. Any idea advise on how to display the data?

Here is the solution.

Meteor React Draft-JS (Github)

bins_editor.js should be what follows.

Hope this helps anyone having the same doubts on how to use Draft-JS with Meteor and React.

    import React from "react";
    import {Editor, EditorState, ContentState, RichUtils, convertToRaw, convertFromRaw} from "draft-js";

    export default class BinsEditor extends React.Component {

      constructor(props) {
        super(props);

        let editorState;


        if (!this.props.bin.content) {
            this.state = {editorState: EditorState.createEmpty()};
            console.log('empty');
          } else {
            const rawContent = this.props.bin.content;
            const parsedContent = convertFromRaw(JSON.parse(rawContent));

            this.state = {editorState: EditorState.createWithContent(parsedContent)};
            console.log('not empty');
          }
            this.focus = () => this.refs.editor.focus();
            this.onChange = (editorState) => {
              this.setState({editorState});
              const contentState = editorState.getCurrentContent();
              const rawContent = JSON.stringify(convertToRaw(contentState));

              Meteor.call('bins.update', this.props.bin, rawContent);
              console.log(rawContent);
            }

            this.handleKeyCommand = (command) => this._handleKeyCommand(command);
            this.toggleBlockType = (type) => this._toggleBlockType(type);
            this.toggleInlineStyle = (style) => this._toggleInlineStyle(style);
      }

      _handleKeyCommand(command) {
        const {editorState} = this.state;
        const newState = RichUtils.handleKeyCommand(editorState, command);
        if (newState) {
          this.onChange(newState);
          return true;
        }
        return false;
      }

      _toggleBlockType(blockType) {
        this.onChange(
          RichUtils.toggleBlockType(
            this.state.editorState,
            blockType
          )
        );
      }

      _toggleInlineStyle(inlineStyle) {
        this.onChange(
          RichUtils.toggleInlineStyle(
            this.state.editorState,
            inlineStyle
          )
        );
      }

      render() {
        const {editorState} = this.state;

        // If the user changes block type before entering any text, we can
        // either style the placeholder or hide it. Let's just hide it now.
        let className = 'RichEditor-editor';
        var contentState = editorState.getCurrentContent();
