Toolbar width not resizing correctly

Quick answerby artf

There are a lot of reasons to keep the size of the toolbar item fixed, if you want them bigger, you can simply update the CSS.

GrapesJS version

What browser are you using?

Chrome v100.0.4896.127

Reproducible demo link

No demo link.

Describe the bug

How to reproduce the bug?

  1. Just place bigger icons inside toolbar (for example font awesome class: fa-2x):
toolbar: [
  {
	  attributes: { class: 'fa fa-2x fa-clone' },
	  command: 'tlb-clone',
  }, {
	  attributes: { class: 'fas fa-2x fa-trash-alt' },
	  command: 'tlb-delete',
  }
]

What is the expected behavior? Component's action toolbar should correctly resize its width, paddings and its position relative to its component (for now each icon's cell width is hardcoded).

What is the current behavior? Here is visual example how bigger toolbar icons and the toolbar look like: <img width="1054" alt="Zrzut ekranu 2022-04-25 o 11 08 41" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/36495919/165060163-b10aba84-d672-4869-9008-21d43754676f.png">

Thanks for reporting this, @zauchad.

Great question about [Component's toolbar] Toolbar width not resizing correctly. The recommended approach with Components 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));
