TinyMCE 使用 Save 插件时 React 中出现“错误：未找到表单元素”

Question

I am trying to figure out how the save plugin works in TinyMCE for React. I want the user to be able to click the save button and the content is saved to a database (code not included here) but anything I try I just keep getting the error Error: No form element found . For example, please consider this component:

const Component = () => {
  const [editorContent, setEditorContent] = useState('');

  const handleEditorInit = () => {
    setEditorContent(someInitialContent);
  }

  const handleEditorChange = (content, editor) => {
    setEditorContent(content);
    console.log(content); // correctly shows formatted content
  }

  const handleOnSubmit = (content, editor) => {
    console.log(content); // correctly shows formatted content
  }

  return (
    <Fragment>
      <Editor
        apiKey="api-key"
        id="my-editor"
        value={editorContent}
        init={{
          menubar: false,
          inline: true,
          plugins: [
            'advlist lists image charmap print preview anchor',
            'searchreplace visualblocks code fullscreen',
            'insertdatetime media table paste code help wordcount save'
          ],
          toolbar:
            'undo redo | bold italic underline backcolor forecolor | \
            removeformat | save'
        }}
        onEditorChange={handleEditorChange}
        onInit={handleEditorInit}
        onSubmit={handleOnSubmit} // doesn't get rid of the error
      />
    </Fragment>
  );
}

When the above component is rendered, the content is displayed in the editor and it can be formatted (bold/underline etc.) without any issues. The onInit , onEditorChange and onSubmit event handlers are working as expected (receiving the formatted content) but I still get the error no form element found when I click the save button on the toolbar.
I have tried wrapping the <Editor> component in a <form> tag and I have also tried using the onSaveContent event handler provided by TinyMCE but I still get the error. I don't understand why I keep getting the Error: no form element found error with or without a form element. I have looked everywhere for solutions but I can't seem to find one. Specially not one for React specifically. I have found similar issues here and here but I am still stuck on it and don't know how the solution fits into React.
Am I implementing it wrong or does anyone have any idea where I'm going wrong with my implementation?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

The save plugin is designed to submit the standard HTML form that contains the underlying TinyMCE <textarea> . If you are using React I would suspect that your form submission would be handled via some React-specific JavaScript and not a standard HTML form as a standard form submission would make the entire page refresh which is very much not how React or other SPA frameworks tend to operate.
