Question

Hello @artf !

I made this bug issue as suggested in my question on How to add the Selector Manager events/actions to the Undo Manager stack.

I think what we want to have is for the Undo Manager to be able to keep track of the events/actions that are happening in the Selector Manager.

Thanks!

Thanks for reporting this, @mortimerz.

Great question about Updates on the Selector Manager not being tracked by Undo Manager. The recommended approach with UndoManager 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
