Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug?
- Insert HTML into canvas using the
editor.Canvas.getBody().ownerDocument.execCommand('insertHTML', false, HTMLString)command. - the inserted HTML does show up on the editor canvas.
- Use the editor's editor.getHtml() function.
- The returned HTML string by
editor.getHtml()does not contain the HTML that was inserted using the execCommand command.
What is the expected behavior?
The final HTML should return HTML inserted using execCommand
What is the current behavior?
The final HTML does not contain HTML inserted using execCommand
If is necessary to execute some code in order to reproduce the bug, paste it here below:
another issue with the first approach listed below is that editor.addComponent() adds the component to the end of the DOM and the insertHTML command inserts the html of that component into the current cursor position.
const [varEl] = editor.addComponents(
'<span class="am-var no-tooltip" data-gjs-editable="false" data-gjs-droppable="false" data-gjs-selectable="false" data-am-var="' +
key +
'" style="white-space:nowrap; padding: 1%; font-size: inherit; margin: 1% 2%; cursor: pointer;">' +
variable +
'</span>'
);
editor.Canvas.getBody().ownerDocument.execCommand(
'insertHTML',
false,
` ${varEl.toHTML()} `
);
editor.getHtml()
I have also tried adding an HTML string instead of the component.toHTML() approach mentioned above like so which doesn't work either:
editor.Canvas.getBody().ownerDocument.execCommand(
'insertHTML',
false,
' <span class="am-var no-tooltip" data-gjs-editable="false" data-gjs-droppable="false" data-gjs-selectable="false" data-am-var="' +
key +
'" style="white-space:nowrap; padding: 1%; font-size: inherit; margin: 1% 2%; cursor: pointer;">' +
variable +
'</span> '
)

the getHtml has nothing to do with the DOM of the canvas... Read carefully the documentation https://grapesjs.com/docs/modules/Components.html and try to understand the difference between the model and the view of the component.
@artf thanks for the prompt response, what is the right way of doing this then?
My requirement is: I want to add a component at the current cursor position. How can I then get it to be part of the editor.getHtml() method?
@mihir-khandekar did you manage to fix this?
