Describe the bug

How to reproduce the bug? 0. I have a video: https://www.loom.com/share/508e91098bf247bd93d525f2efa00a36

  1. Go to demo page
  2. Select any element...
  3. Set the state as click
  4. Edit any border radius
  5. Leave the element clicking in other element
  6. First bug: The UI will get the click state style and after will turn to normal state
  7. Second bug: refresh the page, normal refresh or clear the cache, will you see the styled click state before and it don't leave. I need to clear the canvas to get thinks work normally
  8. If you inspect the selected element with developer tools as i made in the video, you will see that the element gjs-selected have the styles made before as click state

What is the expected behavior? When i change the element, the click state didn't goes to all elements when clicked

What is the current behavior? click state set the styles to .gjs-selected element

If is necessary to execute some code in order to reproduce the bug, paste it here below: No.

@artf I couldn't run it locally because several tests didn't pass, is it like that with you too? Can I try to fix them? e.g.: image

Thanks for reporting this, @ronaldohoch.

Great question about Style click state bug in every element. 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
