Question

GrapesJS version

  • I confirm to use the latest version of GrapesJS

What browser are you using?

Chrome v96

Reproducible demo link

https://jsfiddle.net/emgbo8k1/3/

Describe the bug

How to reproduce the bug?

  1. add the 3 columns block to the canvas
  2. drag and drop in order to change the columns order

What is the expected behavior? The drag and drop should set the position correctly

What is the current behavior? The position of the columns after the drag and drop is not correct.

If is necessary to execute some code in order to reproduce the bug, paste it here below:

editor.getWrapper().addClass("gjs-wrapper");

editor.Css.setRule('.gjs-wrapper', {
  direction: "rtl"
});

I added the code in the JSFiddle too

Thanks for reporting this, @YairNa.

Great question about Drag and drop not working well in case of RTL. The recommended approach with StyleManager 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
