How call XenForo.StatusEditor inside js file

[Fuhrmann]

How can I call to XenForo.StatusEditor inside my own js file?

I have a function that inserts content into a text area that uses the XenForo.StatusEditor. After I insert the text via jquery, I have to update the char limit of this text area using the XenForo.StatusEditor.

But I just do not know how can I use and call the function update().

Ok, this works:

new XenForo.StatusEditor($('#review_text')).update();

But is this the right way? I mean...there is already a instance of XenForo.StatusEditor running since I loaded the page...
