https://codesandbox.io/s/grapejs-reactjs-forked-zqnqo?file=/src/Editor.js
Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug?
- Just drag and drop image block to canvas
- also drag and drop custom image block to canvas can be found on landing pages block
Live demo : https://codesandbox.io/s/grapejs-reactjs-forked-zqnqo?file=/src/Editor.js
What is the expected behavior?
When the user drops custom image block, default image block, or double-clicking any image on canvas instead of opening the default modal image uploader I want to open my custom react-modal
What is the current behavior?
Now when the user drops the image on canvas or doubles click the image for replacing the image it opens up the default image uploader,
If is necessary to execute some code in order to reproduce the bug, paste it here below:
import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react";
import grapesjs from "grapesjs";
import block from "grapesjs-blocks-basic";
import ModalImages from "./ModalImages";
const Editor = () => {
const [editor, setEditor] = useState(null);
function imageBlock(editor) {
editor.BlockManager.add("image-block", {
label: '<i class="fa fa-picture-o" aria-hidden="true"></i>',
type: "image",
content: '<image src="" />',
category: {
id: "image-block",
label: "image-block",
open: true
},
selectable: true,
render: ({ model, className }) => `<div class="${className}__my-wrap">
${model.get("label")}
Image
</div>`
});
}
useEffect(() => {
const editor = grapesjs.init({
container: "#editor",
storageManager: false,
blockManager: true,
plugins: [block, imageBlock]
});
const bm = editor.BlockManager;
editor.on("load", () => {
editor.BlockManager.render([
bm.get("image-block").set("category", "Landing Pages")
]);
editor.BlockManager.getCategories().each((ctg) => ctg.set("open", false));
});
let modal = editor.Modal;
editor.on("component:add", (model, argument) => {
console.log("model", model);
if (model.getName() === "Image") {
modal.setContent(ModalImages);
}
});
setEditor(editor);
}, []);
console.log("editor", editor);
return (
<>
<div id="editor"></div>
</>
);
};
export default Editor;

I solved the issue for future reference
first I removed this function :
editor.on("component:add", (model, argument) => {
if (model.getName() === "Image") {
modal.setContent(ModalImages);
}
});
I replaced with this function
editor.Commands.add('open-assets', {
run(editor, sender, opts = {}) {
dispatch(setIsOpen(true)); // open my custom asset manager
opts.target.set('src', customImgUrl) // set image url
}
})
This replaced the default asset manager with my custom react modal asset managerwhen you run editor.command.run('open-assets') you have to pass options, eg.
editor.command.run('open-assets', {
target: editor.getSelected(),
})
@artf I solved the issue it was about closure problem , the solution just passing the URL as options as follows
editor.Commands.run("open-assets", {
target: editor.getSelected()
url: imageUrl
});
editor.Commands.add("open-assets", {
run(editor, sender, opts = {}) {
dispatch(setIsOpen(true));
console.log("imageUrl", opts.url);
opts.target.set("src", opts.url);
}
});
U can close the issue , again thank you so much for this library god bless yaThanks for reporting this, @throne1986.
Great question about Uncaught TypeError: Failed to execute 'appendChild' on 'Node': parameter 1 is not of type 'Node'.. The recommended approach with Canvas is to use the event-driven API.
Start here:
- Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
- Look for the
on()event listener method - 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
