Question

WARNING

I changed the canvas size and I drop a compent from blocks panel. The result is compent postion is wrong. By the way, the editor is under 'Absolute/Designer' mode.

I read the source code of the drop part. I found the compent drag start position is not based on 'editor.Canvas.getFrameEl()'. So, is this right?

Thanks for reporting this, @xinyufyj.

Great question about component droped position is wrong when I changed canvas size under Absolute/Designer mode. The recommended approach with Canvas is to use the event-driven API.

Start here:

  1. Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
  2. Look for the on() event listener method
  3. Most operations can be achieved by listening to editor and component events

Common patterns:

// Listen for changes
editor.on('change', () => console.log('something changed'));

// Component lifecycle
editor.on('component:mount', (c) => console.log('component ready', c));
editor.on('component:update', (c) => console.log('component updated', c));

If you're still stuck:

  • Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
  • Include what you've already tried
  • Mention your GrapesJS version
