Disabled drag and drop in preview

Hi @xQwexx what would be your solution in such a case? We still need to keep the D&D disabled in the preview. Can you also post your component code in order to understand better the use case?

Hi @artf I updated with a demo, also my suggestion would be that use the attributes: { draggable: 'true'}, indicator if the component is draggable in preview and leave the drag handling for the component template like attributes: { draggable: 'true', ondrop: 'drop(event)' , ondragover: 'allowDrop(event)'} I am not 100% percent sure how it is handled now, but I would change this draggable html tags for false if this attribute is not present, when we change to preview.

Thanks for reporting this, @xQwexx.

Great suggestion about Disabled drag and drop in preview! While this specific feature isn't yet in the core API, there are several ways to achieve similar behavior.

Using the event system:

editor.on('component:update', (component) => {
  // your logic here
});

Alternative approaches:

• Listen to selector:add for CSS selector changes
• Use selector:custom for custom rules
• Tap into the change:* events for fine-grained tracking
• Build a plugin that extends the editor with this capability

Making it official: If this feature would benefit many users, consider opening a formal Feature Request on the GrapesJS repo with:

• A detailed use case
• Code example showing the desired behavior
• Why this matters for your workflow

The core team is receptive to well-motivated feature requests backed by real use cases.
