How to get the changed property from StyleManager
@AbdiasM i think this is kinda backbone related stuff and to my knowledge currently not possible. This is how it should be: Cheers!
Read full answer below ↓Question
Hi,
Is there a way to find out which property was changed in the StyleManager? For eg. If I select a Text component and change its background-color property from the StyleManager, is there any event where I can get the property that was changed. I've tried the 'component:styleUpdate' event, but it passes the component's model as argument, not the property.
Any help is appreciated.

editor.on('component:styleUpdate', component => {
console.log(Object.keys(component.changedAttributes()))
})

Actually, you get the changed property as a second argument of the callback
editor.on('component:styleUpdate', (component, propChanged) => {
...
})
Hi @AbdiasM based on component:styleUpdate or component:styleUpdate:{propertyName} you can get the property like below: Cheers!
