The GrapesJS ecosystem has exploded over the last year. Hundreds of plugins, two distinct environments, a mix of free and paid options — and until today, one search bar and a lot of scrolling.
We're shipping a set of discovery upgrades that fix that. New label filters, a proper compatibility switch for GrapesJS vs GrapesJS Studio, one-click filter resets, and a smarter sort bar. All of it runs against the full catalog — not just whatever happens to be on screen.
Here's what's new and why it matters.
1. Label Filters That Search the Entire Catalog.
| Label | What it signals |
|---|---|
| New | Released in the last 14 days |
| Recent Sell | Had a purchase in the last 48 hours — actively bought right now |
| Popular | 100+ total downloads across the community |
| Best Seller | 10 or more paid sales — proven demand |
| Official | Published directly by the GrapesJS core team |
Select Popular and you'll see every plugin in the catalog that has cleared 100 downloads — not the 30 currently on screen. Select Best Seller and you'll see only plugins real developers have paid for and shipped to production.
If you're picking dependencies for a client project, Official and Best Seller are the two filters worth bookmarking.
2. Compatibility: GrapesJS or GrapesJS Studio
GrapesJS now has two distinct environments — the classic open-source builder, and the newer, more opinionated GrapesJS Studio aimed at product teams. Many plugins work in one but not the other, and that incompatibility used to live in paragraph three of a README.
The new Compatibility filter pulls it to the top:
- All — show everything (default)
- GrapesJS — classic open-source compatible plugins only
- GrapesJS Studio — plugins verified to work with GrapesJS Studio
3. One-Click Filter Resets
Every active filter has an × next to its label. Click it to clear that filter — and only that filter — without touching anything else you've set.
The reset button only appears when a filter is actually set to a non-default value, so the UI stays clean when you haven't touched anything.
No more reopening dropdowns just to undo a single choice.
4. Smarter Sort Controls
The sort bar (Newest, Trending, Best Rated, Price) lives permanently at the bottom of the filter panel. Click the same sort button twice to flip between ascending and descending — the direction arrow updates in real time so you always know which way the list is running.
Why This Matters
The GrapesJS plugin ecosystem now covers almost everything you'd want to build into an editor:
- Block managers for landing pages, emails, and apps
- Export integrations to React, Vue, and plain HTML
- Style managers with advanced typography and layout controls
- Data bindings for REST and GraphQL APIs
- Custom components for e-commerce, forms, and media embeds
With that much choice, discovery becomes the bottleneck. These filters let you stop asking "show me everything" and start asking the real question: "show me popular, Studio-compatible plugins sorted by best rated."
Who Benefits Most
Freelancers and agencies — combine Official and Best Seller to short-list plugins with active maintenance and proven traction before you commit them to a client codebase.
Teams evaluating GrapesJS Studio — set Compatibility to GrapesJS Studio once and forget it. Every browse, every category page, every search will stay scoped to your environment.
Developers chasing what's hot — Recent Sell is the closest thing the marketplace has to a real-time signal. If a plugin sold in the last 48 hours, it's getting adopted right now.
Budget-conscious builders — stack the Free type filter with Popular to surface the most-downloaded free plugins in the ecosystem.
How to Use the New Filters
Head to gjs.market — or any category page — and click Filters in the top sort bar. The panel slides open with everything in one place:
- Type — All / Free / Paid
- Version — multi-select across supported GrapesJS versions
- Compatibility — All / GrapesJS / GrapesJS Studio
- Labels — multi-select across New, Recent Sell, Popular, Best Seller, Official
All filters stack. A query like Paid + GrapesJS Studio + Best Seller narrows the catalog to paid plugins verified for Studio with a real sales history — usually in under a second.
