Icons are not loading when loading within an angular application
I was able to resolve this issue by adding font awesome icons css directly to the grape.min.css file. I am not sure why that had to be done since the CSS was being imported already, its working with that workaround, but it would be better if a cleaner solution can be suggested.

Your demo doesn't seem to load, and the grapesjs version you're using there is quite outdated (0.14.15).
Please upgrade and next time open the new bug issue relative to the latest version.
Thanks for reporting this, @sanjanaadeshra.
The issue with Icons are not loading when loading within an angular application appears to be a race condition or state management timing problem. This typically happens when component lifecycle events and DOM modifications overlap, creating an inconsistent state.
What to try:
- Add a setTimeout wrapper to ensure the DOM has settled:
setTimeout(() => {
// your operation here
}, 0);
-
Check initialization order β make sure components are fully loaded before you interact with them
-
Use the editor's event system β listen to completion events:
editor.on('component:mount', (component) => {
// safe to interact with component here
});
Recommended next steps:
- Test with the latest GrapesJS version if you haven't
- Provide a minimal reproducible example (CodeSandbox) β this helps the team identify the root cause faster
- Include GrapesJS version, browser, and console errors in your report
