Pasting a component in root body layer throws TypeError

Thanks @zachsnoek yeah, as the wrapper (body) is a root component it doesn't have the related collection. Probably we might need to update the paste logic but your current fix is a good patch for now to avoid such an error so, the PR is highly welcome 👍

Sounds good; I'll put up a PR by the end of the week :+1:

Guys, I'm facing a similar problem To me, the error happens on FileUploader

I've tried to enter on grapes demo to see if this behavior happens there too, and it's happening!

I realize that If I clean my LocalStorage and reload the page, then the Editor loads the standard template, and I can drop any block inside it that will work well, but if I clean the editor and try to drop a Text block on Editor, the Editor saves an image tag in HTML key Take a look bellow

Any Idea that can help to solve this problem?

Thanks for reporting this, @zachsnoek.

Great suggestion about Pasting a component in root body layer throws TypeError! 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.
