Correct. In case you need to enable unsafe attributes (at your own risk), you can do it via config.parser.optionsHtml.allowUnsafeAttr option.
Thanks for reporting this, @varadero.
Great question about 0.18.2 / 0.18.3 removes all on... HTML attributes when block is drag-dropped in the builder. The recommended approach with GrapesJS 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));
