How get quill and other form to JS submit function? – Laravel

I wanna use quill rich editor and other fields on my form. But cant get access to quill innerHTML from JS function. I am using Laravel with Alpinejs and my code is

<form x-data="contactForm()" @submit.prevent="submit">
    <div class="col-12">
        <div class="mt-2 w-100 bg-white" wire:ignore>
            <div
                x-data
                x-ref="quillEditor"
                x-init="
                    quill = new Quill($refs.quillEditor, {
                        theme: 'snow',
                        modules: {toolbar: '#toolbar'}
                    });

                    quill.on('text-change', function () {
                        $dispatch('input', quill.root.innerHTML);
                    });"
                    
                    wire:model.debounce.2000ms="description"
                    class="sign__textarea"
                    style="height: 300px;"
                >{{ old('description', $services_users->description) }}
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-12">
        <input name="message" x-model="data.title">
    </div>
    <div class="col-12 col-xl-3 mt-5">
        <button type="submit" x-text="buttonText" :disabled="loading"></button>
    </div>
</form>
<script> 
function contactForm() {
    return {
        data: {
            title: "",
            myQuill: quill.root.innerHTML,
        },
        buttonText: "Save",
        loading: false,
        submit() {
            this.buttonText = "Saving...";
            this.loading = true;
                fetch('myurl.endpoint', {
                  method: "POST",
                  headers: {
                    "Content-Type": "application/json",
                    "Accept": "application/json",
                  },
                  body: JSON.stringify(this.data),
                }).then(() => {
                    alert("Form submitted");
                }).catch(() => {
                    alert("Something went wrong");
                }).finally(() => {
                    this.data.title = ""
                    this.buttonText = "Save";
                    this.loading = false;
                });

    Ok this is what i did

    <form x-data="contactForm()" x-init="initQuill()" x-on:submit="submit()" method="POST" action="target.url">
    <div x-ref="editor"></div>
    <input x-ref="editorValue" type="hidden" name="hidden_input">
    <button>Save</button>
</form>
<script>
function contactForm(){
    return {
        initQuill(){
            new Quill(this.$refs. editor, {theme: 'snow'});
        },
        submit(){
            console.log(this.$refs. editor.__quill.root.innerHTML);
            this.$refs.editorValue.value = this.$refs.editor.__quill.root.innerHTML;
        }
    }
}
</script>

    Now is ok and works with basic. You can extend function with new features etc. Thx for help guys.

    It doesn’t work because you’re calling the variable "quill" in the parent and you’re declaring it in the child. To fix it declare the x-init directive in the form.

    listening to the "text-change" event is not necessary. A good option is to add the content of the container before submitting the form.

    see : https://alpinejs.dev/directives/data#scope

     <form x-data="contactForm()" x-init="
                    quill = new Quill($refs.quillEditor, {
                        theme: 'snow'
                    });

                    quill.on('text-change', function () {
                        $dispatch('input', quill.root.innerHTML);
                    });" @submit.prevent="submit">
    <div class="col-12">
        <div class="mt-2 w-100 bg-white" wire:ignore>
            <div
               x-ref="quillEditor"
                
                    wire:model.debounce.2000ms="description"
                    class="sign__textarea"
                    style="height: 300px;"
                >{{ old('description', $services_users->description) }}
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-12">
        <input name="message" x-model="data.title">

    <div class="col-12 col-xl-3 mt-5">
        <button type="submit" x-text="buttonText" :disabled="loading"></button>
