Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug?
- Add a Grid block to the canvas
- Resize a column
- Notice the console logs aren't displaying for mousePosFetcher & this.listenTo(this, 'change:style', ...)
What is the expected behavior? CBs should be called when mousePosFetcher is called CBs should be called when "change:style" is called from this.listenTo(this, 'change:style', this.updateWidth)
What is the current behavior? Callbacks aren't being triggered
I'm not sure why this is happening (or rather not happening) but it is extremely frustrating. I've read through the documentation and can't find any reason why this shouldn't work. Would really appreciate some help, @artf

Hi @Joshmamroud
CBs should be called when mousePosFetcher is called
That is not happening because resizable options are not directly passed to the Resizer, but through the resize command. You can see mousePosFetcher there is handled by the canvas. I can update the command in order to allow that kind of customization but keep in mind that the canvas does a bit more of your logic in order to get proper coordinates. For now, you can extend the command logic by yourself.
CBs should be called when "change:style" is called from this.listenTo(this, 'change:style', this.updateWidth)
That is not happening because, in this case, the style is not updated on the Component itself, but on the CssRule. Here is an example of how you would handle the listener by relying on the global event
init() {
console.log('Init Column')
this.listenTo(this.em, `styleable:change:${keyWidth}`, this.updateWidth)
},
updateWidth(rule) {
const ruleComponent = rule.getComponent?.();
if (ruleComponent === this) {
console.log('update width', rule.getStyle(keyWidth))
}
},
Thanks @artf! That makes sense.
Thanks for reporting this, @Joshmamroud.
Great question about mousePosFetcher in resizer config & change:style listener not working. The recommended approach with StyleManager is to use the event-driven API.
Start here:
- Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
- Look for the
on()event listener method - 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));

- Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
- Include what you've already tried
- Mention your GrapesJS version
