Hide toolbar for inner components
When you define the component, you can customize the toolbar array
Read full answer below βQuestion
By default, when a component is selected, the toolbar is displayed with 'move, copy, delete' etc actions, it is set with ' showToolbar: 1' option. When I define a custom component which may have several inner components, I want to hide the toolbar for those inner components. I don't want to hide it globally in grapesjs.init(). thanks,
