        <button v-on:click="exportHtml">Export HTML</button>
      </div>

      <EmailEditor
        ref="emailEditor"
        v-on:load="editorLoaded"
        v-on:ready="editorReady"
      />
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  import { EmailEditor } from 'vue-email-editor';

  export default {
    name: 'app',
    components: {
      EmailEditor,
    },
    methods: {
      // called when the editor is created
      editorLoaded() {
        console.log('editorLoaded');
        // Pass the template JSON here
        // this.$refs.emailEditor.editor.loadDesign({});
      },
      // called when the editor has finished loading
      editorReady() {
        console.log('editorReady');
      },
      saveDesign() {
        this.$refs.emailEditor.editor.saveDesign((design) => {
          console.log('saveDesign', design);
        });

      exportHtml() {
