DomComponents' Config Incorrect

Quick answerby artf❀ 1

Yeah, actually the name, by default, is managed via i18n configuration. From 0.17.* version even the wrapper option is not necessary anymore as now you should extend the wrapper component as all others (in previous versions the wrapper was initialized before plugins). I'll remove them in the next release πŸ‘

Question

Version: 0.17.3

What is the expected behavior?

The documentation says that I can configure the wrapper element via the configuration:

https://github.com/artf/grapesjs/blob/0027dcd1194715eeaf4b24db878dd7ebac069cc4/src/dom_components/config/config.js#L6-L24

Describe the bug detailed

I don't think that this configuration is used anywhere. A text search through the project for β€œwrapperName” returns only place I linked above itself. Searching for β€œwrapper” is not feasible unfortunately due to the high number of false positives.

I am able to configure the wrapper element after initialization using the object returned by editor.getWrapper().

Thanks for reporting this, @anlumo.

The issue with DomComponents' Config Incorrect appears to be a race condition or state management timing problem. This typically happens when component lifecycle events and DOM modifications overlap, creating an inconsistent state.

What to try:

  1. Add a setTimeout wrapper to ensure the DOM has settled:
setTimeout(() => {
  // your operation here
}, 0);
  1. Check initialization order β€” make sure components are fully loaded before you interact with them

  2. Use the editor's event system β€” listen to completion events:

editor.on('component:mount', (component) => {
  // safe to interact with component here
});

Recommended next steps:

  • Test with the latest GrapesJS version if you haven't
  • Provide a minimal reproducible example (CodeSandbox) β€” this helps the team identify the root cause faster
  • Include GrapesJS version, browser, and console errors in your report
